Furphy isn't a low ranked freshman, he's an international freshman. There is no way to evaluate the kid properly against the US crop. He'll also be 19 as a frosh, a year younger than Ross.

I have no idea why you are so glued to certain guys for the weirdest reasons. Ross is more likely a binky, similar to Samson. Great kid, culture carrier, limited upside, company guy to a coach who is a loyalist. There's a place for him.

Per Sam V: Had a great day at the Australian U20 Nationals. Best player I saw: Jacob Furphy (not related to Johnny). Just an absolute hooper. Tough as hell. Competitive. Winner. Insane hoops IQ. Super skilled. Felt same way watching him that I did the first time I saw Jaime Jaquez in 2018.

Tom Penders: A former Texas player of mine told me that Furphy was a possible lottery pick after year one. That former player played and coached in Australia. He now owns a basketball academy down under. Dan Hurley’s UCONN staff now recruits the world!

Have you seen anyone with that cred ever say that about Ross? Time to get the head out of the sand .
