I don't think the Twins are as bad as they are being made out to be. Writers need something to write about and it negative articles/innuendos will generate more hits.

Here is a recent article on them:

I don't think they'll have ships for all their targets.

They won't have the number of one-and-done's this year around.

Been high on this kid since he was a junior.

Yeah, I agree with that because Poythress and Goodwin are not slam dunks to be one-and-dones. I'm actually hoping UK offers some of these post guys....you assume Noel is gone which leaves us with Wiltjer and Cauley (who we have no idea how good he'll be). I've really been impressed with some of the clips I've seen of Julius Randle. Walker is also intriguing but he seems to be more interested in us than we are in him.

I have a feeling Poythress, Noel & Harrow will all be gone after this year. Goodwin it definitely depends on how he does this year.

I agree.

I'm not high on Harrow. Too cocky for my liking.

I like Goodwin but I think his jumper may be terrible. UK fans can correct me if I'm wrong on this one. I like him though. Very physical for his size.

Still wondering why this is in the 2013 thread.

We're just speculating on who will turn pro after next year....because it will definitely affect which members of the 2013 class look at UK. For example, would the Harrison twins come if Harrow and Goodwin stay past next year? I seriously doubt it.

I've heard Goodwin is an average shooter. I think he shot around 35% in High School. Which means absolutley nothing.

Illinois got a commit today from 6'10 240lbs Maverick Morgan out of Springboro, OH. ESPN, Rivals, and Scout all have him listed as a 3*. Rivals has him at 148 in their top 150.

I think it'll be a cool idea to watch how the player rankings change leading up to next year. So here goes.
