'10 TX PG Josh Watkins (Utah Verbal)

Exactly why I want Burton:0) He may be the most underrated player in the 2010 class. He can do it all. Watkins isn't what we need imho.

I agree.

I tend to think Burton is option 1A.

Josh Watkins (6-foot) of Howard College. Watkins is from New York Wadleigh High. He averaged 14 points, five rebounds and four assists this year while leading Howard to the JUCO national title game win over Three Rivers. He outplayed Carter in that game to earn tourney MVP honors. Watkins has been talking with Cincinnati, West Virginia and Florida State, among others

Supposedly Watkins had a superb high school career. His build reminds me of Khalid El-Amin from the Uconn days.

6' is probably too generous. I'd say he is more along the lines of 5'11" 190lbs.

I've seen at least one report on the internet that said UC has offered...

They call him Allen Iverson on steroids...lol. I'm not saying he can't play. Matter of fact we could use a point that don't throw the ball away and can dish. There's nothing wrong with a point that can shoot 35% from 3, and 48% overall. He shot over 70% from the foul line, and though I think Cash will be better at the line next season, none of our guards can touch any of those offensive numbers. I'm just saying I'd rather have Burton, and Parker/Cash with a year of experience under their belts.

Can you produce the report?

I'd love a cite before I mark him as receiving an offer.

BCL reporting Watkins will visit April 23rd.

Is he 5'9" or 6'1"? Makes a bit of a difference.

After giving him a hard time on the 6'1" claim, he told me he was 5'10"...
