Point guard Austin Rivers has coaches across the nation dreaming of the day they can land a shooter like Rivers. Austin is the son of Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers and it's obvious he was born with a basketball in his hands. However, is it possible that this top 5 recruit is not considering UK?
Do you really think so?
Here's a brief excerpt from fanobserver.com
As the No. 1 shooting guard in the Class of 2011, Rivers' elusiveness on the hardwood is one of the skills big-time college coaches marvel at; they admire his quick first step, his confidence and control. But as his recruitment intensifies and heads into a climactic fall, Rivers' talent in dodging all the curiosity about his college plans has heightened the intrigue.
Four elite college basketball programs remain in the running: Duke, North Carolina, Florida and Kansas. Which means message boards for all four sets of fans frequently buzz with informed chatter and wild speculation.
And while Rivers has tried to set the record straight, insisting he's taking his time to make a well thought-out decision, the sincerity of that assertion depends on whose actions and words you put the most stock into.
