UT will have 2 of the Top 10 or 20 high school players in the nation next year as Freshmen to enjoy for one year before they defect to the NBA under the new 19-y/o rule.
Cecil, read my first post.
Better yet, here's the relevant info...
Jerryd Bayless is a great SG. He slashes, he shoots, he scores.
He's coming to Texas to play PG. Read up on the situation. It, again, was Barnes Idea.
Your not getting 5-star skills at the respective positions these two will be filling. If Barnes pulls his head out of his ass and uses them at each's original positions, then they'll do great...
...They are great gets, if used right...
Clearly you fail to see how misusing a player can change his value to a team. For Texas, it was reported Bayless would be coming to play an unnatural PG position. For Arizona, it is being reported that Bayless will play his natural SG position. Therein lies the difference. He was always a stud scorer who can make the pass when need be, but he was never a PG, which again, is how Texas was going to use him.
Different positions, different story.
Sorry if you can't deal with the obvious. It's like me arguing Durant would have the same value of his SG/SF skills at C. It's not true. While the player is still very skilled, much of his skills will go underused because of the position change while his weaknesses will be magnified.
I'm sure Texas will land another stud to round out its 2007 class. Don't worry about that. Frankly, with Augustine, I never understood why Bayless was being recruited for the PG spot anyways.

Mike, you including Augustine? He's a two-year player minimum. Maybe three. He'll be very good from the start, but his size and jumper will keep him at Texas for at least two years.
