I suppose the “news” is Deniz Kilicli is now ranked No. 28 by ESPNU’s scouting service, which looks nice alongside Dalton Pepper checking in at No. 87 and Dan Jennings getting nominated for the McDonald’s All-American game.

Kilicli continues to rise in the eyes of many, which is pretty much on course for what was expected back in November. He had some low moments early, but he’s been on a tear lately, probably because he has a rather unusual way of scoring.

This 6-9 West Virginia recruit scores the majority of his points in and around the basket and he finishes with either hand.

Want to know why I stopped playing basketball? I couldn’t count the points I scored outside the basket.
