Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3143726, member: 26"] No one knows for sure how "good" any of the kids will be until Geno gets the chance to coach them up. Aubrey Griffin is ranked anywhere from 20-90 or so (I think she's about 20 on ASGR). Yet... she was one of the last 4 cut when trying out for the Team USA U17 or U18 team. Of the final 12, Fudd and Brink made the team ahead of Griffin - and they are a year younger. So in theory, one could argue that there are 10 or so players "better" than Griffin in her class. Point is the momentum Griffin seems to be generating indicates she's close to a top 15 kid, nowhere near the 90 or so that Prospects Nation has her. I don't know if Makurat is considered as good as Nurse. Most of us thought Nurse was a legit top 10 kid in her class, and her career at UCONN pretty much proved that. If I had to guess, I'd say Makurat is at least in the top 20 of her class compared to the Americans. Probably the same for Muhl. BUT it's much harder with foreign kids so it's really just speculation and hypothesis based on film and success. Makurat did play for the Polish team in the FIBA worlds - I think the U17 teams, and played well. [/QUOTE]
