[TeleTubby]

What if there was a battle between Cal's even year recruits vs his odd year recruits? This is based on how they played at UK only...

EVEN YEAR
John Wall
Demarcus Cousins
Eric Bledsoe
Anthony Davis
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Marquis Teague
Aaron Harrison
Andrew Harrison
Julius Randle
James Young
Dakari Johnson

Isaiah Briscoe
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Kevin Knox
PJ Washington
Jarred Vanderbilt

ODD YEAR
Brandon Knight
Terrence Jones
Doron Lamb
Nerlens Noel
Archie Goodwin
Alex Poythress

Karl Anthony Towns
Devin Booker
Trey Lyles
Tyler Ulis
De'Aaron Fox
Bam Adebayo
Malik Monk
Hamidou Diallo
Keldon Johnson
Tyler Herro
Ashton Hagans

[the nail at the foul line]

You have teams backwards.

Wall showed up in 09, AD in 11...

 

[drcats2013]

Even. And it’s not “even” close.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Man, it's really slow around here. Can we get a dam recruit signed ASAP!

 

[Aike]

What about every third year vs. every fourth year BUT John Higgins refs?

 

[Deli owl]

The new low has been hit

 

[KyFaninNC]

Man, op has way too much time on his hands to look all this up.

 

[TeleTubby]

Sorry, man. Laid up in a hospital bed and it's either come up with crap like this or watch NCIS for the 10th straight time.

Shoot, I’ll take this over troll posts and Duke posts any day of the week; even if it is completely lopsided.

Sorry, man. Laid up in a hospital bed and it's either come up with crap like this or watch NCIS for the 10th straight time.

Hope you heal up and get better. Nice work.

Prayers for a speedy recovery!

Thanks for the well wishes. I'll be good to go soon, hopefully. So would the odds have a chance? I'm thinking it all depends on how the game is officiated. If it's tight, I like Towns over Cousins and it would also negate Davis' advantage a little bit (remember his foul problems against Indiana). I mean, if you look at pro careers this is a mismatch. But what if you look at their college accomplishments? Doesn't Lamb get a big nod over Murray in that scenario? Wall never scored 39 points in a tournament game.
