TV Review: Generation Next, Episode V

Episode Review

Recruiting expert guests: Van Coleman and Tom Konchalski. Grade: Good!

A short debate on who should be the mythical #1 high-school basketball team, and the obligatory revisiting of the "Is Oak Hill a high-school" issue. Grade: Good!

A recap of the recent commitments. Grade: Good!

A review of the 2007 Big East commitments. This covered all 16 teams, with coverage of quite a few of them. This was an improvement of last week's ACC segment, even though it is 16-team conference. Grade: Good and bonus points for the more in-depth coverage

A recap of the McDonalds All American team selections and the Orwellian "off the court issues" when the cmte decides not to select an otherwise deserving player. Grade: Good!

Guest interview: Jay Wright of Villanava. Fans of the four-guard offense of the 2005-2007 season will be thrilled to find out that Jay Wright will be bringing it back next year with Corey Fisher, Malcolm Grant and Corey Stokes. (Assuming Scottie Reynolds stays put)

Short video feature on Nolan Smith

Personal segment: Seth appeared excited about all the Dookies selected for the McDonalds team, and he thinks Kyle Singler is the #1 of the 2007 class

Overall Rating: This was the best episode of the season!
