That is quite the scientific study you've performed there! Here's a statistical observation. Those coaches that can recruit the most McDonalds All-Americans to their school also have the most players in the NBA. Truly groundbreaking research, I know.

I think I would have a pretty compelling recruiting pitch about his role and how he'd be used: 1) He would have the opportunity to be the number 1 or 2 option on offense early in his career, and would get a lot of shots as an underclassmen (primarily as ballhandler in the pick and roll and posting up smaller guards) 2) Even when Yuri is in the game, he would still have plenty of opportunity to initiate halfcourt offense as a ballhandler similar to Goodwin the past couple of seasons 3) Lastly, Ford could show him tape of similarly-sized perimeter players who have been really successful under his system (James Anderson, Markel Brown, Marcus Smart, Jordan Goodwin)

Dude. You can't say you blocked me and continue to hit me up. Don't you see how stupid that makes you look? It's okay to admit you didn't watch the game.

What a series! bummed it's over. I was hoping for a game 7. The good news is now Tatum can get back to St. Louis and help out the Saint Louis University basketball program.
