This is an interesting guy. I have grown to be a bit of a pessimist/realist when it comes to recruits but I thought I would share my thoughts anyway.
This stood out to me. "The senior center has seen marked improvement in scoring (16 points from 10), rebounding (17 boards from 10) and even blocks (seven blocks from five) from his performance a season ago."
Thats great to see, and right now if you look at our lineup for next year we are going to need big things from him. The block and rebound numbers seem to be an indicator of his ability, and that is good because those are the things he will be asked to do as a freshman. What I question is the league he is doing this in. If he is 6-10 playing 6-5 centers and less athletic guards then his numbers will be inflated. That was my first thought. But it said his offers rolled in more so after AAU, where he would likely face bigger guys.
Here is how I see next year regardless
1 Jakubowski 6-2 191 Sr. Crawford 5-6 143 So
2 Brown 6-3 195 Jr. Kraus 6-2 187 So
3 Thomas 6-6 183 Jr Erger 6-6 185 So Calhoun 6-7 218 So
4 Craig Sealey 6-6 Fr Haynes 6-7 210 Fr McCelroy 6-8 198 So
5 Cameron Black 6-9 Fr
2 wildcards
1. We have 2 more scholarships to give.
2. Calhoun and Haynes are complete unknowns and McCelroy is up in the air as well. He has played 20 minutes in 4 games since a drug suspension including 0 last game.
Here is the list of guys we are looking at per rivals. i beleive Ray Chambers was a guy I liked alot 2 years ago after seeing him at state.
