It's getting near the end of recruiting and I need to bring in another big man (I lost out on one that I was targeting).  The tough part is that I need the guy to backup at PF this year, but I would like him to be a useful player for the future (this guy is part of a 7-man class, so we won't be real competitive this year anyway).  Ideally he could start at PF 2 years from now...  Anyway, these are all 3 potential pulldowns, but I only know for sure that 1 of them will even consider me.  May be a moot point.  Would like to hear some discussion anyway.  I would like the guy to be a decent scorer since my centers are very good rebounders but mediocre scorers.

I'd love guy #2 if he had any athleticism.  I'd be all over guy #3 if I didn't need him this year due to the higher future combination of BH and P; that 34 rebounding would really hurt me now, though, and my starter has pretty poor stamina.  They're all pretty darn slow to play C, much less PF.  My guards are very fast at this point, though, and this seems to be the market in big men in my area this season.  Thoughts?

Player 1, I guess. Player 3 needs more reb, and any offensive improvement. Player 2 is way to unathletic and slow, although his reb/sb is nice. Player 1 should be a decent rebounder/scorer and his potential in ath/speed isn't bad.

1 if he has a we of 20 +  #3 flat sucks

#1 has the worst WE of the three at 26, lower than I prefer.  2 and 3 are both around 60 I think.

I'd still take 1

#1 was my favorite as well, and also the one that I know will come play for me.  I don't have a ton of money left, so I dunno if I'll get him or not.  He isn't considering anyone a day into the signing period, so there shouldn't be competition issues just the question of whether I have the funds to pull him down and then get him to sign.  We'll see...

I'd take #3.  He'll be by far the best offensively.  He'll have high defense rating, but the SB is a little low for a big guy in a zone.  But sill, his ATH will be above 50, which is always nice.  His reb should get to 55 or better.  He will be a very solid big guy who won't be a liability on defense and he'll be a very good offensive player.

I wouldn't target any of them personally, but if I had to choose one, it would be #3. Other than Rebounding which has a HIGH potential, he is better than the other 2 in just about every catergory including the oft missed FT% and his Rating increase potential is better than the other 2 as well and eventially (maybe by the end of this season, but definitely in his Sophmore year) he'll blow past the other 2 like light speed with his increases.
