2. WR Marqise Lee, So., USC

2011: 73 catches, 11 TDs, 1,143 yards, 15.7 yards per catch.

The breakdown: No one does more with the ball after the catch. Speed, moves, dynamic ability.

NFL scout says: “These are the guys where you wish we had the one-and-done rule of the NBA.”

Wow....that says it all!

still think Robert Woods should be higher than Sammy Watkins...

Nice to see the analysts recognizing these boys. Lee will be considered a top 3 pick when he comes out and that's amazing, considering that he doesn't have the size of Calvin Johnson or Andre Johnson.

Hurts a bit to see Jarvis on there, but thank god we've restocked that position like no other position. Jarvis is a beast and I love seeing him rip it up at another school(as long as it's not against SC)!

Yep...."schmuck" is probably too complimentary....probably a Clipper fan and/or, has posters of the LA City Council on his bedroom wall.

Back on topic---Marquis is beyond special.

exactly!

Scouts and agents should not be pushing for younger players in the league.

NFL scout says: “These are the guys where you wish we had the one-and-done rule of the NBA.”

Not sure that it can be interpreted any other way.

Now look at it from the Scout's perspective. If it were up to him, Marqise, would have been draft eligible after his freshman year and he would draft him. The NFL is a completely different animal than college football. From "bounty hunting" to "it's a business"...the NFL is not where a kid belongs until he is 21. From a physical AND emotional well-being.

I've become more cynical the older I get.

...and it pisses me off.

Woods was injured last year. I'm not ready to put Lee above him just yet.

They are both phenomenal either way.

The NBA hasn't suffered. College basketball has

I think that has more to do with the AAU star system than anything else. You think Griffin would be a better 3 point shooter if he would have stayed at OU for two more years?

Look at the biggest stars in the game. Most of them never even played in College

I think Griffin would be a better player period had he stayed a couple of more years. And I wasn't clear...all Griffin knows how to do is dunk, however, your 1's 2's & 3's can't make a midrange jump shot to save their lives. It's either bombs away from behind the arc or go for the highlight reel at the basket.

The AAU system is what has screwed the college game. So much so that AAU coaches are finding themselves on the bench of D1 schools as "assistant coaches." When in actuality all they are are handlers for the year that "their kid" plays XYZ University.
