ESPN player evaluation

[size=13px]Strengths:[/size][font=helvetica][[/font][font=helvetica][size=13px]Good size and he's a rock in the lane. Will be a tough guy to pusharound once he develops his basketball ego and becomes comfortable in his own skin. Impressed with his quick hands at both ends. Takes care of rebounds in his area and is a rebound and stickback guy. Not a big guy or particularly long but does cobble up his share of blocked shots.[/size][/font]

[size=13px]Weaknesses: [/size][size=13px]Needs to establish himself in the position and command the basketball. Does not have a go to scoring move that he relies on consistently. On the defensive end, he’s prone to going for fakes and picking up cheap fouls because he has a habit of leaving his feet to block shots.[/size]

[size=13px]]Bottom Line: Tracking as a mid-major player but needs offensive development. Excellent student and has a strong desire to improve so he has that going for him.[/size]

Josh at NinerReport tweeted he was at the camp and that we look very interested in Tony.

From June 29th:

[font=Arial][size=13px]Nunn’s list currently is made up of “UNC-Charlotte,Oklahoma,Tennessee,Western Carolina,Gardner-Webb, and Jacksonville University.”[/size][/font]

What a strange list. I like seeing us in there with Oklahoma and Tennessee, for sure; but that list is quite eclectic.

will attend our Midnight Madness, along with his buddy Oshon West.

I like ths sound of this guy…BRING HIM HOME MAJOR!!

Big kid, seems to run well.

Per Josh at NinerReport on Twitter, Miami, Clemson and Charlotte are his top 3.

I’ll ask Mark Nunn to put in a good word for us.

You’ve heard the expression “you don’t want Nunn”? In this case you do want Nunn.

He’s a Nunn boy. We all do it big. Destined for greatness.

I could comment but won’t…

Check out our interview with Tony Nunn at http://recruitsnationwide.com/?p=815

sounds like you really want him to go to Cinci.

Seems like that’s his top choice up to this point so we rolled with it.

it read more like he didn’t have any idea where he wanted to go, but you were assuming he wanted to go to Cinci because they play in the best conference.

He very well may be favoring Cinci, but it definitely didn’t read like that.

EAD Cinci…
