If we can sign him fine. But most really talented Players don't want to sit for 2 years. But they might be more willing to sit one year.
I would make signing a top frosh PG a high priorty for the Class of 2011.

: This makes perfect sense if you think about

: on several levels.
:
: 1. He de-committed from UCLA which is a top
: 10-20 program. If he was good enough to
: land a ride to the 'Ruins any other major D1
: school with a PG need would be highly
: interested.
:
: 2. If he has a visit to Penn scheduled (Ivy
: League) than he's obviously NOT thinking
: about any sort of hoop career once college
: is over, NO one is going to argue that a
: degree from an Ivy league school is worth
: LESS than a degree from The Beach.
:
: 3. We already have a PG (Ware) that he'd
: have to beat out for PT. Ware would be a 2
: yr starter (and a Junior) when Wilson would
: be a Fr. Ware would beat him out, which
: would leave Wilson as a backup for 1-2
: years? Why do that when another school in a
: major conference has an immediate need?
:
: Let him go and find his happiness, I think
: our efforts are better spent on other
: prospects
