CapitolHoops.com Will Barton Highlights 2010 PG/SG 6'6" Lake Clifton HS

[Demetri07]

the Will Barton that is number one in the class of 2010 for shooting guards doesnt go to Lake Clifton HS this isnt him......the Will Barton you guys are thinking about goes to Brewster Academy in New Hampshire and hes 6'6 and weighs 170

[youthe12]

@Demetri07

[rSeAvEy95]

@Demetri07 he used to go to lake clifton.

[speaklife2people]

Love the song :)

[Billygizzle08]

This song is awesome

[IZZYDARYDAH]

He is nasty. He needs to put on more weight to be able to compete with bigger guards in his class like Reggie Bullock, Dion Waiters, and Justin Coleman.

[MrBlueCrimson]

yeah, its not like he is already taller than Reggie, Dion, or Justin Coleman with a longer wingspan..........

oh wait. He have no fucking clue what youre talking about. Youre saying he needs to be taller, longer wingspan, AND heavier than all of the other guards in his class in order to compete with them?

[MrBlueCrimson]

He's ranked at the top of his class for a reason.

[IZZYDARYDAH]

Are dont know what im talkin about? are you serious? and before you say somethin stupid you should read what I said. No where in my comment did I mention his wingspan or height, I clearly was talkin about his weight, he is 161 lbs compared to Reggie bullock who is the same height but 30 pound heavier,

[IZZYDARYDAH]

not only in his class, but how will he match up against guards like Xavier Henry who is also 6'6 at 225? or Lance Stephenson at 220? he wont be able too, so please reply because I wanna see what else you got to say to defend your statement, see if YOU know what your talkin about because clearly you dont.

[MrBlueCrimson]

he'll match up horribly. Youre right........... there is nobody that weighs more than him at his height below him on the recruiting rankings for next season........ and its a good thing too, because if they weigh more than him at his height, he wont matchup.(Sarcasm)

I feel like a fuckin dumbass just pretending to have your mentality

[IZZYDARYDAH]

Right...sarcasm is the last resort out of a debate...its all aperson has left, So I guess I made my point.

[flofloballa34]

for his senior year he's going to brewster academy in NH

[EastAggReppa817]

go cards lol yeh right.U MEMPHIS haters need 2 stop we've got Will so get over and we've been established as an elite program get it rite.TIGERS SHALL RAIN

[number4day]

BALTIMORE NIKE ELITE ALL DAY

i play with the 14&under age group nd i kno will he good people

[roochuckroo]

Rick Pitino and every other elite program should be going after this kid. The only visit he has ever taken is Memphis and then he committed to them. If he thinks Memphis is cool then he should be easy for an elite program with a proven head coach to convince him to de-commit

Rick Pitino needs to go after this kid and go after he hard. It should be an easy steal

GO CARDS

[mpd1690]

Unethical

[Dat2BMe]

You just can't be serious.....

[MightyMouse1094]

He is goo dut to cocky

[HazeENT1]

Damn dem stats sound fake.......Will team did Win by 2....in double overtime ......He won the second match up..But them stats Fake as hell ....Den Markel wasnt Gaurding will.....But at Boo Williams...Markel killed Will get your facts straight......Check Rivals Markel Brown recieved a HEADLINE article....Will wasnt even mentioned

[zc1225]

what is the name of the article

[HazeENT1]

Hey Jim.....Markel Brown and Will Barton will be playing against each other tonite.....Baltimore Elite vs. La Select....May the best man win...8pm tonite....NIke Peach Jam

[denard809]

the matchup happened at the nike peach jam between will barton and markel brown. will scored 47 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in a double overtime win. markel scored 12 points. will barton is another level.

[HazeENT1]

Will okay....but after watchin dem both play .....I jus think that Markel is all around better.....By far

[z4r0z]

i agree with awinner23 calapari is nothing but a cheating crook who will destroy every program he goes to.

[awinner23]

Calamari had already paid this kids handlers and couldn't kick anybody else off of UK, so Barton ends up at Memphis. It's a good school to go to if you want to become obscure. Calamari will eventually get UK in the same mess as every other school he's coached at.

[Addict4Gaming]

I disagree with your remars although I o respect them. As a UK fan, I hate to see this kid slip away because he is indeed a high level talent. But seeing him go to Memphis is better than UNC or Duke and I'm glad to see Pastner showing people how good of a coach he truly is. But Memphis fans with all due respect need to get over Calipari. He did nothing at Memphis to get the school in trouble. Dozier's academic incident didn't involve Cal. The NCAA sent a letter that stated he was not guilty.

[danielw420]

Number 1 recruiting class in the nation. Trust me we are over it. U can have Cal and all his corrupt ways.

[andreburnettewoods]

yeah we gone be str8 next season

[HazeENT1]

Will is good but he is certainly not the best SG in da class of 2010....Markel Brown is killing this cat...and I watched him shout down Will during AAU....boo williams n Bobby hussys....La jazz all da way

[Jim62787]

He's for sure the best ball handling SG in the class of 2010. And he can drive the lane better than any other SG on one-on-one situations. Plus virtually every scouting report claims Barton is the best SG talent in 2010........

[Jim62787]

Markel Brown? Dude you crazy nigga. Markel Brown aint even a 4 star. He's a three star Oklahoma State commit. Markel Brown isnt even in the discussion

[denard809]

will barton is hands down the the best sg in the country. he killed markel at boo williams and peach jam.

[roochuckroo]

What kind of BULLSHIT did Pastner feed Will? "hey Will come to Memphis, I will do wonders eventhough I never coached a game in my life"

Whats more sad is Will feel for it! How dumb do you have to be to fall for some bullshit like that?

GO CARDS!

[Jim62787]

Whats funny is youre a Cards fan, and youre worried about Memphis. UK is going to be spanking that ass now.

[calipariwildcats23]

he's a sheisty mo fo

[12345superscout12345]

Barton is good and skilled but one and done is a stretch. On Sportspresstv. com , they have his complete breakdown.

[roochuckroo]

Barton must not be to concerned about his future if he is settling for a conference USA school and a coach who has never coached a college game in his life.

Too bad Will doesn't have people around him who actually care about his future.

GO CARDS!

[Jim62787]

Guess you have sand in your pussy about Barton not going to Louisville. Funny........Memphis' elite coach leaves and goes to another school, and Memphis STILL snags higher ranked players. Funny as shit.

[seanjohnboy2001]

Hey Have u heard of a guy named Derrick Rose...He just got rookie of the year and played in Conference USA....and hmm Ya Tyreke evans the Fourth Pick in this years NBA Draft. Pastner been coaching backetball since hes been 16 doesnt matter he hasnt coached a game. Its not like hes going to make Will worse..by the end of his senior year his gonna be ready for the Nba anyways......so it doesnt rly matter where u goes....

[Addict4Gaming]

Well said. I'm a UK fan but I really like Pastner. I think he is on the verge of being a Pitino, Calipari, Self caliber coach. It was a shame for us to miss Will but I'm glad Memphis got him over UNC or Duke or anyone else. I doubt he stays more than two years. He may be a one and done which is likely seeing as how he is 6'6 and shoots the ball so well. Good luck to Memphis and their program although I doubt you all will need it. I see a bright future for Memphis.

[adamz3507]

well pasnter is a snake, Will barton said in a interview that Pastner told him the "memphis allegation was more of a Calipari thing than a memphis thing". Are you shitting me? I guess barton took pastner's word over the actual document the NCAA presented

[atdialk3]

It probably is more of a Calipari thing, but probably will never be proven. Haha, if Pastner is a snake...what does that make Calipari? I wonder what bullshit Calipari told E Bledsoe to get him to come to UK and ride the bench?

[lelopez30]

@adamz3507 truth hurts dont it he's a TIGER live wit it CAL will strike again it looks good 4 now like it did n Umass,MEMPHIS,etc....

[adamz3507]

hmmm 7 losses? ill take that, that just means UK will win 25+. ill definitely take that with our young squad next year

[mikeNmtown]

Kentuck is going to get a rude awakning. Just watch. Kentucky is gon lose at least 7 games. Whats up Will and Antonio> Yall gon get much love in Memphis

[roochuckroo]

Better check his SATs

[8GOBIGBLUE]

and you all cant be a real basketball school with only a few final four appearnces and no titles either. dont act like you all are the shit. everyone gets 1 or 2 good players a season coming in (will barton). you can do great things with just a few recruits each year unless your already loaded. this year latavious and will coleman are your recruits and it wont be that much better for next years class cuz i bet only 1 or 2 more players commit to the tigers with barton

[atdialk3]

We only brought in 2 recruits this year because Calipari took everyone with him. What else could Pastner have done? I'd say bringing in Latavious so late was pretty impressive given the circumstances. You haven't seen Pastner have a full year to recruit yet. How can you even begin to predict the quality/quantity players he will bring in next year?

[8GOBIGBLUE]

memphis will slowly decline. will barton is a one and done and you can say the same for john wall, but atleast calipari will continue to get top guards (plus bledsoe, orton and dodson and hood will stay a long time). pastner is a good coach but your conference wont help u for publicity and over time it will decline. not saying you all will be terrible, but your program will be just pretty good.

[atdialk3]

How can you say Memphis will slowly decline when Pastner has stepped in and landed 5 star recruits in this year's class and 2010. Calipari isn't the only coach who can thrive in C-USA. You may want to watch Memphis over the next couple years before you make arguments that contain no factual foundation.

[WardJu1]

LOL Will Barton a one and done???? I think not, He'll stay at least two years

[adamz3507]

And the only reason those 3 players had the most wins cause memphis is the only contender out of that pathetic conference you call conference USA.

[adamz3507]

Facts straight?, just cause you've been good in recent years(Calipari) doesnt make you a full fledge basketball place, and as far as a Nba team, the memphis grizzlies have been among the worst teams since they left Canada

[mikeNmtown]

fightinirish68 you cant tell dez dumb ass dick heads shit. Memphis is the best. now that we are goin through a down time as of now folks wanna talk bad about the M but when we was kickin peoples favorite teams asses they wasnt sayin nothin. We are and always will be a high profile program and city MEMPHIS!!!!!!!!!!! Lets go Barton Bro. We gon be back just trust me

[roochuckroo]

World Wide got Barton to Memphis. Smart move if you ask me!

Go CARDS!

[8GOBIGBLUE]

congrats memphis...even though it was cuz of the opportunity for him to play with his brother, thats a good pick up. Im a UK fan too. big ups. recruiting wars in the future will be great

[jo7ck]

name of song?

[hobogore]

Memphis has won more NCAA tournament games than any team in the country except UCLA in the last four years. Look it up...boneheads.

[adamz3507]

the only reason he is even going to memphis is cause its the only school that offered his brother, memphis is a low key basketball city, they are far from the elite programs

[atdialk3]

You've obviously never been to Memphis. Tiger basketball is far from "low key." Also, you must not have been watching college basketball the last 4 years, because you would have noticed Memphis going to the sweet 16 or further each year.

[fightinirish68]

DO U WATCH BASKETBALL???? WHERE HAVE U BEEN? A LOW KEY BASKETBALL CITY? WE HAVE A PRO TEAM AND ONE OF THE NATIONS MOST CURRENT PROLIFIC TEAMS. IM A STUDENT HERE AT THE U of M AND FOR U TO SAY THAT MAKES U FOOLISH. WE JUST HAD 3 PLAYERS GRADUATE WITH THE MOST WINS IN NCAA HISTORY...GET UR FACTS STRAIGHT MAN

[mikeNmtown]

Ay yall Will and his bro and Joe Jackson is gon come to Memphis. Kentucky who?

[roochuckroo]

Better check all their SATs

GO CARDS!

[roochuckroo]

Will Barton is a World Wide Wes kid.

Looks like Pastner is involved in the samething that Memphis fans been claiming to hate about Calicheat!

Yet Memphis now look like they are willing to "sell their soul" once again

GO CARDS!

[hunterbourland]

Memphis will have plenty of t.v. time! Our first game of the year is Kansas! Coach Pastner is doing a hell of a job! Memphis is still an elite school so don't talk about what you don't know anything about! Can't wait to watch Will play here!

Go Tigers and bring on Lance Stephenson!

[roochuckroo]

Fuck Memphis!

GO CARDS!

FUCK UK!

GO CARDS!

Pastner just made a deal with a World Wide Wes player Will Barton and I wonder how Memphis fans will take to it since they been calling foul on Wes since Cal left!

GO CARDS! Beast of the Big East!

[bcorken1012]

I know you were real proud of your lady cards basketball this season, but you can eat your bird shit. My Memphis has been in situations as bad as this one, but they continue to redeem themselves. Memphis is a basketball city. If you fuck with us you will probably lose. Get over it.

[kycats06]

I hope Will does very well at Memphis. He is taking a risk playing for an unproven coach but Pastner is taking a risk as well taking all these elite recruits right away which could make or break him really quick depending on how he develops them. Which tells me Pastner is going to be a GREAT COACH who is ready to continue what Calipari left at Memphis.

Good Luck Will and do Memphis proud! We would have loved to seen you in UK BLUE but you can't go wrong with Memphis either! Go get em Will

[kycats06]

But even with little TV exposure that Memphi8s will get, I will still be trying to catch every Memphis game to watch Will play! He is a special player and a good kid who deserves better than what you UL and Duke fans are saying about him.

Why anyone would want to go to UL or Duke with fans like you all blows my mind. Pastner is an unproven coach but he is getting the talent and time will tell if he can cut it or not, but there is no reason to put the Memphis program down. They are elite!

[kycats06]

Fuck You UL and Duke fans! I mad too that Barton didn't choose my school just like every major D-1 program in the country is mad, he is that good!

Doesn't mean you have the right to bash a kid who has never done anything to you.

Barton is every UK fans favorite 2010 player and he still is. I will be keeping a close eye on Barton when he is playing at Memphis. It should be fun to watch such a great kid! I realize it will be hard to actualy ge to see him play with UM not having tv exposure

[dukecrazy2]

Somebody better check his SAT, LOL!

Heard that Will was told that the allegations towards Memphis was a Calipari problem. I so wish that was true but I think someone was feeding Will a load of crap because as much as I wish it was a Calilpari issue it is all a Memphis issue. They have the same problems with the football team and other athletics at Memphis. That means it is a Memphis problem not Calipari.

Someone feed Will some crap and he ate it! Not very smart is he? Who cares it's UM!

[fishman6581]

so where's Duke been lately?

[paperboy215]

you were the same person hoping he was coming to dook. now you bash him smh. btw, it's someone FED will some crap and he ate it. not feed. nice to see that dook education at work.

[roochuckroo]

What does it take to get into Memphis these days? 720 on the SAT! LOL

[beomem]

u dont need the sat. they accept just act

[roochuckroo]

still doesn't make sense why Will would go to Memphis and play for a coach who hasn't proved anything when he will get ZERO tv exposure when he could've gone to a lot of places that would have been better for his future.

I guess it doesn't matter when WorldWide is calling the shots!

Pastner is now just as dirty as any other coach, LOL

GO CARDS! The BEAST of the BIG EAST BABY!

[roochuckroo]

I am just glad he isn't going to UK but I hate Memphis as well. GO CARDS!

Will is a WorldWideWes kid and Pastner just layed in the bed with whom Memphis fans call "the devil". LOL LOL LOL!

Now WorldWideWes once again proves he owns Memphis and controls their fate. Actually a smat move by Wes. I am sure Memphis powers to be were going to try to stir up somthing on him and sending Barton to Memphis is way great way to cover his ass!

Still he ain't no Petyun Seva BABY! GO UL! GO CARDS!

[saburbanhomeboi]

UK still has love for ya and UK fans son't have the hate for Memphis they have for us Colman is a beast, Williams is big and the Barton brothers are a good getgive em hell wanted willie though....

[roochuckroo]

LOL, he isn't going to Kentucky he is going to Memphis. Although I don't think putting your future in a coach who has never coached basketball before as a head coach is a smart move.

Still I'm just glad he isn't going to Kentucky, LOL

Nevertheless, someone should investigate his SAT/ACT scores. Chances are he cheated,LOL

GO CARDS!

[PenguinSuperPowers]

lol, ikr! IDK why I'm even a memphis fan. I just feel stupid by assotiation. But, Memphis bound!!!!!!!

[dukecrazy2]

Barton is a top ranked kid why in the hell would he waste his time at Maryland or Louisville. Come to Duke

[roochuckroo]

GO TO DUHVILLE! You can play with the #1 player in the 09 class according to Rivals and Scout, Peytun Seva. You would make proud alumnis of UL like me very happy and honored to have you playing at DUHVILLE!

We are also about the get the #1 playa in the 2010 class according to scouts and rivals, grant 6'7 forward.

GO TO DUHVILLE

[roochuckroo]

I would literally butt fuck Barton if he came to UL. So would most UL fans, that is how much we love our Cardinals, ask Seva who is ranked #1 by both scouts and rivals in his class.

We have the most passion and love for basketball.

GO CARDS!

[zach5690]

lol ranked #1 in what? because its not by position bc thats john wall and its sure as hell not overall... lol he aint even a 5 star

[PenguinSuperPowers]

Yeah, Wall is one in the '09 classes, but this kid is the no.1 SG in the '10 class. He is the number 7 overall ranked player by rivals, and he will be attending memphis in 2010

[MRbossman1982]

GO TO MARYLAND, FEAR THE TURTLE.

[roochuckroo]

Will Burtion is coming to Duhville and playing with Peyton Seva, that is for damb sure

[Deuzday]

hahahahahah the funniest joke ive ever heard

dont be disappointed when hes playing against UL in two years for UK

[okusaga2]

WILL SHOULD COME PLAY FOR THE TERPS, Gary Williams is an awesome coach, and its very close to home,

[BigE0010]

[kycats06]

Barton is a freakin stud!

[linuxbox25]

dude will be UK wildcat soon..count on that sh*t!

he gonna f*ck shit up right like Wall will !! yea baby.

[seanwhitaker05]

Chances are this guy is going to start Kentuckys recruiting class off and depending it Kentucky maybe gets Wall of Bledsoe, we might wind up getting Brandon Knight the #1 overall pick, according to rivals..and i have a membership... Barton is very high on UK and Calipari

[89yourmom89]

dude, you guys are rootin for the wrong type of cats, ya know how good he'd look in an Arizona uniform?

[Deuzday]

get used to it...it's Calipari time in the bluegrass state...fear our future. respect our past.

[Stillertime55]

This dude needs to come to Pitt so he can be Pitts version of Kobe while Dante Taylor can be Pitts Shaq. He is exactly the type of player Pitt needs to put them over the top.
