Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 4388303, member: 1023"] Basketball recruiting ranking is petty meaningless, if you are honest. You bring in 3-4 guys, one good one can move you way up or way down. And lots of guys with big reps never come close to being great college players, while pretty good AAU guys end up better in college. There are maybe a handful of can’t miss kids. Look at Booknight. He wasn’t considered can’t miss blue chipper by any of the recruiting services. Wasn’t really recruited by what you would call elite programs. He was considered a good player coming out of AAU, not an elite one. Is the kid from Bristol going to be another Kareem or another Justin Brown? I think he is a project, but not sure how much of a project. And sometimes just numbers can move you way up or way down. I did not expect us to be great this year. I hoped we would be better. But it is pretty clear that neither the quarterback, nor the play caller are ready for prime time. Syracuse was a better team, but we didn’t show anything in the passing game. A 25 yard run after a 2 yard catch made the passing stats look better than they really were. Central wasn’t but again, a 2 yard throw with a 50 yard run after by Turner covered Up a horrible passing game. Yesterday there were no big yac playes. And we saw what the passing game really was.
