The Nation's Top 25 Freshmen (So Far) >>> basketballprospectus.com

6. Tiny Gallon, Oklahoma
Gallon does more than destroy backboards. Throw a stick at the last five years and in two or three of them this would be your most impressive rebounding freshman right here, one who’s dominant on both ends. However this season, incredibly, there are not one but two freshmen who are as good if not better on the glass.

Greg won't put TMG in his top 25?
What's with that?
And then as far as productivity per court minute, Pledger should be mentioned.

Also, you left off Jordan Hamilton and Xavier Henry. Big ommission, duh.

Against quality competition Pledger has disappeared. He will be a nice player in time but he isn't one of the Top 25 frosh in the country.

Utah- 0 points
Gonzaga- 5 points
UTEP- 0 points
Arkansas- 4 points
Arizona- 2 points

He did have a really nice game against Houston.

I think Gasaway left a few notable ones out. And put a few ones in. I don't have Tiny in the top 25! He rebounds and scores, but doesn't do the other little things (yet, he's getting better).

Well since were looking back, Dawkins has disappeared also


01/03 vs. Clemson 0
01/06 at Iowa State 0
01/09 at Georgia Tech 2

Dawkins plays with in a different system. they play for each other, pick, swing the ball and share the rock, We're still looking for that component I'm still trying to fiquire out what happened when we got back from Alaska for Pledger to loose his starting spot? Watch the Houston tape 2nd half...5 touches 3 shots...MMMmm? The Nich state game...WWIII doest play...great team effort Pledger 17...MMMmm...I'm just saying
