He won’t be one of the first 6 2021 recruits taken, and shouldn’t have been ranked that high.

That close enough to “how it works”?

First of all, my entire issue with your stance was on his shooting. Not his overall ranking.

Second of all, no. By that logic Ayo Dosunmu and Kofi Cockburn were overrated. They weren’t overrated because they weren’t drafted as high as their ranking.

I’m still confident he won’t shoot 36% or above from 3.

His performances over the summer only solidified my stance.
 
Wtf Purdue
Gotta keep that tuition freeze going somehow. Stuffing some freshmen in closets for a while was apparently the way to go.

It is crazy to me how they accepted too many people. Like what did they think was going to happen? Lol unless they just had more people actually commit than usual and acceptance % was around the same, I don’t see how they ended up in that situation.
 
Has there been a more fxxxed up situation like Alando Tucker's exit as coach at UW?
And a former program all-time great at that.
SMH.

Would be outside the norm for easily the best developmental program in the country(let alone the b1g). Since 2013 heres the b1g first rounders and their composite ratings

- Michigan: 9 (Comp Ranks TH Jr- 161, Trey-93, Mitch-28, Nik-110, Vert-239, DJ-123, Mo-119,JP-93, Franz-114)


- Indiana: 5 (10, 136, 11, 294, 7)


- Michigan State: 5 (19, 112, 22, 12, 8.....Denzel Valentine is the 112)


- Maryland: 3 (NR(alex len), 65, 16)


- Wisconsin: 2 (242, 12)


- Ohio State: 1 (16)


- Purdue: 1 (19)

Isn’t that video from 2018 or am I mistaken?

Right? I truly don't get how they got to this spot and how this is the solution.

I walked through campus last fall and it felt like my parents pointed out 4 new luxury dorm buildings. I guess most of those are solo suites for the wealthier kids.

Purdue should be mocked for this, it's embarrassing.

Michigan’s player evaluation has been top notch since Beilien was there.

I’m more so questioning where Houstan should be ranked. He looks more like a 10 to 15 national guy than #6 in composite.

Could be, just read the guy that submitted the video said the video was not his. Also read that Purdue has done it for several years now and that students are rehoused by September.

Still though, have to quit doing this shit even if it is just going re-viral. Bad PR.

Have to assume several thousand will quit after smelling that smell.

Do you think Rivals overrated Ayo (#30) and Kofi (#45)?

Yeah my cousin from Chicago lived in one of those last year as a freshman (definitely wealthy). Insane how nice they are compared to what I stayed in (Wiley/a poor).
 
I never said he was. That's the strawman Archetype is going with.
Didn't mean to imply you did, just think that athleticism is probably a bigger hindrance to his draft stock than the release level of his shot.

Either way, the kid is gonna be a killer in college imo. The one and done types are such good pieces when they already have established college players on the team.

Is it no longer an option to "buy" into Northwestern/Chicago for a wealthy Chicago kid?

I couldn't go in but my mom said they're nice as hell.

Also a poor, I stayed in the tiny cary quad places. Luckily I got home from class one day and my rando roommate was so coked out he had me call an ambulance and subsequently got booted. So I had a room to myself.

Don’t believe she applied there. I do know she got rejected by Georgia Tech though.

Lmao that’s fvcking awesome. I lived in Wiley while they were building the new co-rec so just constant construction noise during the day. & I lived with one of my best friends but we made absolutely fvcking horrible roommates lol

Ha I had some friends do the same with their close buddies and it went poorly. Being from WL to begin with, I went the rando route. Didn't turn out much better.

There is levels to it.

The first 20 to 25 I think should be primarily focused on long term NBA potential. Such a low percentage stick in college past the first year with the one and done rule and the way NBA teams focus on drafting.

Past that they aren’t automatically going to be in the league, so you have to balance how much potential versus how much they will produce at the college level.

Do you consider Dickinson to be overrated by Rivals?

I don’t think people be drafted below their rivals rankings means they were overrated. Ayo needing 3 years to make the NBA and going 38th despite being ranked 30th in his class doesn’t mean he was overrated.

Wtf is the difference in levels between #6 and 10-15?

The difference between the 6th best player and the 15th is pretty large, especially long term. That’s the difference in scouting that gets people fired in front offices every year.

Kendall Brown, Peyton Watson, AJ Griffin, Scoot Henderson, and JD Davidson are all undoubtedly better long term prospects. Then there is another group of players that are debatable.

Kid won’t be a top 5 pick even though he is being mocked there on plenty of them.
