| '14 NC G/F Theo Pinson
6'5/170
Greensboro, NC
Tennessee has offered, but Duke is the early leader. Top five player in the country. Mentions Tennessee as a school he's considering.
ESPN Scouting Report
Strengths:
Theo's a kid who is comfortable being a star. He has a very confident way about him but it's not a cockiness. He's an excellent scorer in a variety of ways. He possesses an excellent mid range game and can get to the rim against anyone. He also has all the athleticisim to be an elite guy and is an unselfishly good passer. A true star in the making.
Weaknesses:
With a player like him, we'd like to see him add something new each year such as relocating for his jump shot and working on his overall perimeter game. He's not very strong right now (freshman) so as he grows he'll need to continue to develop his skill package to match his size. Handling the ball under pressure also needs to be a point of emphasis.
Bottom Line:
Theo is one of the elite guys nationally. Expectations will be very high based on his athleticism. It's important for him to remain motivated and keep adding elements and improving. An elite wing on the national level. Basketball Recruiting - Theo Pinson - Player Profiles - ESPN Theo Pinson - Yahoo!

Too bad they pissed that away. | I'll give Pearl this. In terms of rankings, they were starting to become a top 10 team in recruiting.
I didn't trust their player development however.
But we got Martin, he's doing a good job right now, and hopefully we can have a good season despite the rough start.
