That's what happens when you're injured for much of the AAU season, on the flip side Chiozza continues to rise, top 40 now.

Yep, Chiozza on track to be the next Irving Walker with the ability to dish.

I'm sure he'll enjoy his time in Gainesville. It will be interesting to see what Pastner does in 2014 with the dearth of Memphis area talent. We'll have 5 departing seniors in 2014, those 5 spots will pretty much all have to come from out of the area.

Is this 2014 class for Cuonzo going to allow him to avoid a rebuilding year in 2014-2015?

This isn't meant as a stab at Pastner or Memphis, so please don't take is as such...

I'm interested to see how Pastner does in the 2014 class. He has always had Memphis talent to pull from and has done so. However, Chiozza always wanted to be a gator and black never wanted to be a tiger, it's rare two top 50 players in Memphis don't wanna go to Memphis. That's also about it as for 2014 guys, Hymon is solid but with him announcing in the next week it won't be Memphis. So as you said, Pastner will have to pull a full class from outside of Memphis. Working in his favor obviously is a new and improved conference, how much will that help, only time will tell.

As for you question about Cuonzo, it looks as though he's trying to reload and not rebuild. The class already includes 4 stars Jordan Cornish and Phil Cofer. It could be adding top 100 player Makinde London anyday as Tennessee appears the early favorites for the prospect who's quickly loving up the ranks. Tennessee also appears the favorite for probably preseason NJCAA POY Stephen Hurt, and finally....Tennessee is firmly in Jaquan Lyle's final four, and appear to be headed towards making Kevon Looney's final five. In what is Martin's most important class of his career, he has him positioned for by far his best class of his career.

Pretty spot on for Pastner. He reached outside of Memphis for 4 star Damien Wilson and McD's AA Shaq Goodwin in 2012 to go along with Geron Johnson. That was only a 3 man class though. He'll have to fill up 5 slots this season, and the pickings are slim.

This seems like another possible Boom/Bust class for Martin. He's aiming high with Lyle and Looney, but if he misses with them, who knows what the class looks like.

I think even if he misses on those two but adds Hurt and London and Devin Mitchell still could be a solid class. But I agree. He's putting A LOT into Lyle. Don't know about Looney yet.

He seems to have learned his lesson. Looney is a big fish, but if you miss on him London is a top 100 guy with a very similar game who currently favors us.

It's a little more out on a limb with Lyle and Hurt though. We miss on Lyle and we have been recruiting Devin Mitchell for awhile. He has close friends on the Tennessee team and if we pressed hard I would think we'd have as good a chance as anyone. With hurt there's not much of a backup plan at this point, at least as a true center is concerned. They may look more towards another forward like a Shane Hall or someone like that.

Martin did supposedly pass up a commitment from top 150 PG Jaquel Richmond though in favor of holding out for Lyle. That was a bit of a risk and one that could come back to bite him.

He's a good two to three inches taller than Erving Walker, but okay. An Erving Walker who can dish sounds pretty damn good.

Were not looking very good at point guard looks like it is Lyle or bust. Looks like Richmond will go elsewhere mainly because we didn't want him now. We need a super point guard in this class and were not in good shape with any right now other than Lyle. Louisville already has a point guard commit and a two guard commit hopefully they want get Lyle but still the favorite. London up to number 96 on the scout list he could be a top fifty player a real sleeper because of his sudden growth of 8 inches in height.
