Yep, His ranking isn't correct as of now.

He's class of 2008, so he's only a Junior. According to his profile he'll be one of the highest rated recruits out of Indiana for 2008. I don't think Scout has even done much glancing at the C.O. 2008... so expect this ranking / star count to change as they evaluate more players closer (Including him).

I don't know exactly how good/bad he'll be ranked, but as for now... pay no mind to that.

i dont mean to make this thread about race or anything, but does having a black coach help land some recruits easier?

10/26/2006 6:07:47 PM

no, its more of a help that he coached in the nba for a number of years, kids like that

10/26/2006 6:10:02 PM

if you dont think having a black coach helps you are mistaken. Not as much as being an NBA coach, but it does help

10/26/2006 6:22:01 PM

I think it does... I would bet it helps alot...

i just got a email from scout.com that says we got a new recruit but it wont let me look at anything

10/26/2006 6:41:18 PM

Just realized only 4/12 ACC coaches are white.

And 3/4 of them have won a national championship

[Edited on October 26, 2006 at 6:46 PM. Reason : a]

Probably fell in love with it because it reminded him of the ghetto

10/26/2006 9:03:11 PM

I wonder if his star rating would go up as he matures and gets older

10/26/2006 9:33:00 PM

havent you learned

he picked state, if anything his stars will go down

10/26/2006 9:33:43 PM

^^^didn't you hear, he fell in love with the plans for the awesome new softball stadium/soccer/track & field complex that's being built.

10/27/2006 12:23:53 AM

^ Greenberg is jewish does he count?









jk

10/27/2006 12:51:52 AM

Jewish is not a race. It is a religion.

10/27/2006 2:23:56 AM

they ran out of money to finish the soccer/track/softball complex. I hurt that doesn't hurt his decision!

this kid will most likely be the number one point guard in Indiana next year and will go up to either a 4-5 star prospect. Very, very good player from what I have heard.

Indiana fans wanted him really, really bad. Supposedly he blew up last summer and if he has another year like last summer will easily move up in the rankings to top 25 level.

I think this is a great get for Lowe and could be a very good pg for a more up-tempo offense.

With Hickson and Mays, Lowe is off to an amazing recruiting start and it is underestimated how much these kids can help recruit other kids. Bright start on the recruiting front.

he will be - primarily because there's fewer moving parts in basketball than football

also, Lowe understands the athletic nature of ACC bball, and understands the fundamentals of basketball such as rebounding and defense cannot be ignored in the name of some assclown Ivy league scheme

^under Herb our defense was normally solid, except the rebounding aspect (which could be considered the most important part of D).

less players on the court at one time that have to function as one

true we were typically fairly high up in the conference in points allowed per game, but that was partially attributed to our slow offense limiting the other team's possessions

this is so absurd that you just lost all credibility regarding basketball
