Don't all of these college basketball websites have clickbait articles? What else are they going to write about during the summer? It's about recruiting in general because they're at the Peach Jam Tournament.
Clingan wasn’t a top 10 recruit. Kyle was in the Andre Jackson range if I remember correctly.
Assuming you mean draft range by recruiting. Pretty sure Filipowski was pegged as late lottery to 20s.
Was he? I just remember his decision being tough cause he might not go first round, hence going back to Duke. He could be the rare exception I guess.
I think both were smart to come back. There’s a strong argument to be made for underclassmen that can improve or develop portions of their game to make themselves lottery picks. By many accounts next year’s draft is not as deep as this year’s. That’s a smart business move to wait until next year as well. The difference in guaranteed money between being taken say 8th overall versus 28th is huge. Plus teams are investing so heavily in lottery picks that it’s in their interest to give the player the best chance to succeed possible and a long leash.Zags says he Kyle was a projected top 20 pick before returning.
Makes sense for Clingan to come back though with him being able to move from fringe 1st rounder to top 10 pick.

Filipowski was rated way above AJ (#4 on 247) and, with the year he had (he was the guy that made Duke look good), it was surprising he didn't leave early.
Yes, they're not remotely similar physically or athletically. Sanogo and Timme are undersized, back to the basket bigs who do their work mostly in the paint. Adama showed some range this year, Timme always took a small amount of 3's. Filipowski is a 7 footer who stretches the floor and can shoot. He took as many 3's as a freshman at Duke (124) as Sanogo and Timme took in 7 years combined in college basketball (129)
I mean there's a difference between writing regular summer articles and writing a "panic at Kentucky" article when only 9 of the top 25 have even committed.
That was only a very small part of the article. How can somebody make a comment on an article that they didn't read? Lol
Flagg should probably reclass into 2024. He's draft eligible in 2025, so there's little reason he shouldn't, unless he wants to form a super team at Duke in 2025 with Boozers.
