Michael Harthun

Michael Harthun is the without a doubt the 5th best high school basketball prospect i have ever seen. In order the list goes

1) Kevin Love---has my game but 8 more inches and 100 more pounds. Good to know had i had better genes i would have been great. Number 2 rated prospect in the country by someone

2) Kyle Singler- Make that really smart, dirty, annoying guy in your rec league 6 8 with handles and athelticism and you get Kyle Singler. Number 5 propsect in country

3) Michael Harthun--Second best shooter in history of basketball. 6-3 PG who lead his team to victory over Love in State time game as a Jr. In a game witnessed by Kevin Sully scored like 60 points in the first quarter

4) Blake Stepp- Best Shooter in the history of Basketball. Drafted in 2nd round

5) Luke Jackson. Kyle Singler but goofy. Lotto Pick by Cavs


Ernie Kent tried to recruit all of the players on this list, and you would think that with 7 scholarships available for next season he would attempt to recruit the one who is still in High School. Not the case though. For some Mindboggling reason, Kent has yet to offer Harthun a scholarship. Maybe it is his dream to compose his team entirely of players who went to Renaissance High School in Detroit.

Not only is Harthun a legit player on the national scene, but Oregon bball seems to produce a lot of local talent that goes under the radar (Ad Smith, Jackson, David Lucas @OSU, Shea washington).

Kent needs to wake up and realize that not only is Harthun the real deal, but that Oregon has embraces local players, and those players seem to excel.

Mark my words. If Harthun doesnt end up at Oregon, it will be his failed recruitment and not the failed recruitment of Love and Singler that will bring down Ernie Kent. With 7 scholarships ernie Kent will have to re-invent his team in the next few years and Harthun will either help build Kent up, or destroy him from as a player at some rival school.

I would make this blog entry way better but i promised to post everyday and its 11:54 PM so time is running out.
