For starters I don’t believe that is true about Locure having more offers than Ulis at this time. I think Ulis had at least an Iowa offer amongst a few others at this stage.Who knows? He has more offers at this point than Tyler Ulis did at the same juncture. What did all those D1 coaches see differently about Ulis back then?
And yes, I definitely think Locure is better than Carton!
Here are their stats. Both play in 4A. The conference Locure plays in is arguably better than the conference Carton plays in.
DJ Carton:
Avg: 21.5pts, 6.5 rbds, 1 steals, .50 blocks, 3.25 assists, 3 turnovers
Avg: FG 41.7%, 3PT 33.3%, FT 84.4%
Tyreke Locure:
Avg: 27.7pts, 5.6 rbds, 4.28 steals, 6.42 assists, 3.57 turnovers
Avg: FG 44.9%, 3PT 38.8%, FT 76.8%
HS stats are... well HS stats. You have to wonder how well those are even recorded.
You’ve been pimping this Locure kid for some time on the board but do you ever wonder to yourself if you are missing something here? I mean everyone else is seeing something different that you.
Now from what I’ve seen of highlights I certainly see some of the “Ulis” like potential in Locure. I would have no issues with Iowa offering this kid, but I also recognize that I don’t fully understand the situation. There have been rumblings of other “issues” here which may be why teams are hesitant to offer.
For what ever feelings you have about Fran I don’t think that anyone could make an argument that he isn’t good at identifying talent and especially under the radar talent.
