After reading that article, I decided to check on the play of the nation’s top recruits and rather than simply bore you with stats, I’m going to compare them to lovely Swimsuit Issue models. Make sure you check out the SI galleries associated with each model for more fantastic picture that I did not include in this post.
Let’s run down the Rivals Top 10 and see how the top recruits are performing:
B.J. Mullens – Ohio State – 9.2 points, 4.9 RPG, 1.2 Blocks
and his female counterpart, the strong, physically imposing post presence Jessica Hart:
his female counterpart, small, explosive, combo guard Jarah Mariano:
and his counterpart, the slashing, athletic 3, Brooklyn Decker:
his female counterpart, the athletic, consummate floor general, Bar Refaeli:
his similarly svelte, and similarly attractive female match, Damaris Lewis :
Evans is the “class” of this freshman class and he deserves an equally fantastic woman and here she is Anne V,Â
and his perfect match, Daniella Sarahyba :
8. Greg Monroe – 12.9 PPG, 6.7 PRG, 2.7 AST, 1.4 BPG, 2 SPG
and his female match, another standout performer with a lot of upside, Lucia Dvorska :
and his counterpart, another double-double waiting to happen, Kim Cloutier :
and his more his female counterpart, the lovely Jessica Gomes:
Honorable Mention: William Buford – Ohio State
and his combo-guard counterpart Melissa Haro:
Willie Warren has been the most impressive of the group above to watch in person. Of course, your basketball life gets a lot easier with Blake Griffin drawing double teams every time down the court. Tyreke Evans and Greg Monroe have also impressed me when I’ve had a chance to sit down and watch them. I’d be willing to be each and every one of you that Monroe gets taken second in June’s draft behind Griffin.
(Please don’t come after me for the money when I turn out to be wrong. I need each and every one of the $187 dollars left in my account)
