A layman's guide to the basketball recruiting Class of 2012
Posted Jul 26, 2011
Mitch McGary, 6-10, PF (Chesterton, Ind.): "He may be college basketball's next Tyler Hansbrough; he's that intense an individual and a more diverse offensive player. McGary isn't doing much talking to colleges this summer, but schools are nonverbally communicating with him. Head coaches from Purdue, UConn, Florida, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina and Texas are omnipresent at his games." Kaleb Tarczewski, 7-0, C (Claremont, N.H.): "The Tar Heels are locked in a battle with presumed leader Kansas and Arizona to snag him -- and Kentucky was recently eyeballing him in Vegas. He'll play in the NBA one day and will be a major piece for an elite program."
