YouTube Highlights of the future stars…

YouTube can be quite a helpful tool. But it can be a prime spot for procrastination as well. I was trotting along in YouTube land not too long ago and came to the conclusion that some videos of the best incoming 2008 college recruits should be found. So here are three videos I found to be highly entertaining and relevant.

First off, future Buckeye B.J. Mullens. B.J. is a legitimate 7 footer. Just think if Koufus comes back to Columbus? Though it’s not likely to happen.

Big kid with room to grow. The challenge for him will be going from “prospect” to “player.” By that we mean getting into the mix and beginning to accumulate dominating performances. Mullens has the size and talent to make himself into a force. He can step out and play facing the bucket while possessing the ability to dive inside. Putting the pieces together is the final step in high school.

Next up is 6′3 Jrue Holiday, a future UCLA Bruin. Will probably play the shooting guard position his freshman year, but will need to play the point sometime during his basketball career. Playing time will depend on the decisions of Westbrook and Shipp, but Jrue should certainly get his share of minutes in any case.

There are so many to like him: character kid, gets better but most importantly there might not be a kid in the class who places a greater value on winning than him. Can score, pass, defend and basically do it all. Adding some PG in his game for the long term. Coachable.

6′9 Devin Ebanks, the nation’s top unsigned player, finally made a decision (May 18th). He went with West Virginia (does Bob Huggins do good work or what). Devin should be a good replacement for Alexander. Or will it be sidekick?

Ebanks reminds me of Rudy Gay a little. Mullens reminds me of Brad Miller/Memo Okur. As for Jrue, I’m not so sure. Maybe Baron Davis.
