a steal
Gregg Doyel writes of a significant drop-off in the caliber of schools recruiting Dallas big and Top 50 prospect Kevin Rogers -- but not because scouts think any less of Rogers' play.Rather, because Kevin prefers to package himself with Top 10 prospect C.J. Miles and because a couple coaches believe Rogers may not have the maturity to make an immediate contribution to an elite program.
Ok. But Rogers remains a Top 50 big man. Quality players his size don't come around every day. I figure coaches at several schools, perhaps not Kansas, Arizona, Georgia Tech and Texas, but higher-profile than Baylor and Texas A&M, would jump at the opportunity to sign Rogers. Alone or in a package deal. Here's looking at you, Herb Sendek, Tommy Amaker, Ernie Kent, and John “new money” Brady.
