Darius is a big-time scorer. He has a god-given ability to find the bottom of the net. And he's proven he can score at the highest levels against the best players in the country.
That's the guy. He's next on everybody's list. This is going to be quite a tug-of-war over him.
If you'd asked me three months ago if they had a shot, I'd have said there's no way Vanderbilt gets a visit. They've come full circle, and now they're one of five. They've got their opportunity this weekend.
I really think it's dangerous for the NBA this year. A lot of NBA scouts are starting to feel comfortable with high school kids. Having seen most of these kids for the last three years, I can tell you that each one of these guys has major flaws in their game that the NBA is either willing to overlook right now or don't have a handle on.
Last year Duke had a monster recruiting class. This year North Carolina has a monster recruiting class. These two teams, with the way their personnel is rigged, should basically alternate Final Four appearances.

I think Taylor has spent a little more time with this one. We're way past the days of being shocked by anything that happens in recruiting circles, but this one looks pretty darned solid.
Absolutely they're going to be young. But we're talking about youth and talent.
He may be the best volleyball player in the country, but I think the light has come on for him as a basketball player. There's a lot to be said about that. Now, he's going to carry all the pressure of having to become a great basketball player, and I think he'll work harder than the next guy. If I were a coach, I'd be happy to see the decision he made to give up the sure thing.
