Was this really worth posting in this thread? Please try to post actual information if you're going to bump these threads up.

From what i have read on the forums is this guy is pretty inconsistent, and RC if your sources say we are not going after this guy, what are your reasons?

It's one of those guys that you wouldn't mind passing on, but if you do he could be a double-double guy in college, and you can't teach height.

No, I really don't think he is going to "blow up" in college. I cannot understand how you can not score more in high school games if you are as big as Riley (and for all in love with star ratings, don't say it is because they don't go inside in high school. And, if that is the case, how can he only score 16 points in like 7 games at Boo Williams?) 
Plus, isn't he listed at 6'10-6'11, and so, the can't teach height thing doesn't exactly fit. It is not like he is 7'2. |

King James Shooting Stars Classic per Rivals
Quote:

DaShonte Riley had one great move with a spin to the middle of the lane off a pivot and scored with a face up jumper. Other than that, he was quiet from a scoring standpoint. He and fellow big man Donnovan Kirk worked well with the high-low offense in the first half. Riley's length played a factor, too. He was still far from doing what he's capable of though.

Rivals has a video clip of him up today. It has to be some kind of cruel joke. The highlight, or lowlight, features Riley missing free throws, taveling, and shooting airballs. I think he makes two lay ups and that's it.

I gotta admit, this kid is a bit of a mystery. He's a 5 star player but had terrible stats last year and I've heard a lot of people say he is overrated. I'm sure he has potential but I dont get the 5 star thing. If he goes to Georgetown I wont be broken hearted I suppose.

Georgetown is a patient program. Hibbert was less than stellar for 2 years. After seeing Riley play numerous times I don't know if his personality and Izzo's would be a good long term fit. Georgetown gets him into smaller school, away from MI. I hope he does well. He is out of the Big Ten
Right now Riley needs pounds and an outside shot to see regular playing time at any major program.

Its a good pickup if they redshirt him. He has the defense but no offense. If they dont and rush him then he will be a bust
