ESPN 2015 Recruiting Class Rankings

[Orangutan]

ESPN's first set of recruiting class rankings are out: http://espn.go.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/class-rankings?class=2015

Personally, I'd put UConn over Lousiville and Notre Dame over Texas (and maybe Duke). Class ranks are somewhat pointless but they are fun to argue with/about.

I agree that UCONN's class should be no.1. Quantity does not supercede quality.

Vowelguy['s system is better.

I don't think I have ever seen players ranked #41 & #43 have a 5-star rating!

Me too, but VG also has Louisville's class as #1

I've only seen highlights of two players in the 2015 class.... Suggs and #8 on Team Spain..... so I will just have to go by what the experts have to say. Our class addresses our needs perfectly, so in that regard... its a good class.

I guess I shouldnt post my system and rankings........ you can imagine who I have as #1

One way I like to think of recruiting (or free agents in pro sports), is "Would the other team want this player?"

Durr is obviously UConn quality and Cole probably is too. But I don't think Jones, DeGrate, or Fuehring would ever get an offer from UConn. But I'm sure Walz would take UConn's trio in a heartbeat.

I'll be curious to see where the other services land on their class rankings. I think ND at #5 is too low but not a surprise given that they have the lowest ranking (of the five sites I look at) on Ogunbowale (#10, no lower than #7 on the other 4) and Mabrey (#26, no lower than #11 on the other 4).

Comparatively, the have the highest (or tied for the highest) ranking on all 3 of the Texas players. They also have the highest ranking on Salvadores, Lambert, and Suggs for Duke.

I agree: however, as the Soviet Military used to say in comparing their forces to the more sophisticated, but smaller, western armies..."quantity has a quality of its own."

Realistically speaking, I think Natalie Butler adds to the incoming group even though she will be a soph.

That's a good one. But you can only play 5 at once in basketball.

I agree but it can be mediocre quality! And the Russians have proved that many times!

I didn't say that the Russians were right. It's just a favorite line that I've waited a long time to use.

And, UConn has lately operated with a very short bench.
Fortunately, it seems that those days are over for awhile.

Not this year. Just 10 scholarship players. Certainly enough, but if Gabby is still in recovery phase for a while and/or 1-2 of the frosh take a little while to 'figure it out' and/or there's an injury, then we're back to a short bench.

As long as it is long enough for all to sit, even if they are scrunched up.

Look at the minutes the others are going to play. Barring injuries the bench isn't going to get in much anyway.

Stewart, KML, and Jefferson will be at approximately 90 minutes. Stokes being the only center will likely be in the 28-30 range. If Tuck's healthy she's probably going to be 20-25. That's going to leave something like 55 minutes for Chong and the freshmen.
