against other D-1 caliber talent. I watched last year's Elon vs. Duke game a couple days ago on youtube, and Bryant definitely held his own when he was on the floor...against Duke...as a true freshman. There are reasons he was offered by ACC and SEC schools.

I've watched Bailey play a couple times and I wasn't particularly impressed either time. He seems to be a perimeter shooter trapped in a small forward's body. The only time I ever saw him score in either game, he simply caught the ball and shot it from where he was...usually somewhere behind the arc. I never saw him put the ball on the floor and try to get the hoop, and I never saw him try to post up and put a move on an opposing defender, either. I like Baxter's game far better than I like Bailey's game right now. Baxter will put the ball on the floor, and he has some nice moves around the rim. I didn't see any of that from Bailey.

Admittedly, my observations of Bailey's game are limited (and Brendan may develop into a great player), but, right now Bryant's game is light year's ahead Bailey's. Right now, if I'm picking players for a pickup game and Bailey and Bryant are standing there, I'm taking Bryant every single time. I'd take Seljass and Baxter before Bailey, too...and not just because they're BYU bound.

All this said, I'd be ecstatic if BYU landed Bailey. He's a really athletic kid with great length. You can never have too many of those types of kids.
