The only thing I can think of is a lack of eye popping athleticism. He’s a functional athlete, but doesn’t blow you away in that regard. The good thing for us is that will probably keep him in college longer.
Motor isn’t always on. It comes and goes. Needs to lean up a bit. But yea really solid prospect. He can be very physical in the post and really smooth shot on the perimeter. Should be a day 1 contributor. 247 has him at 71 composite. I believe that’s right where Bouknight was when we landed. Good to see us recruiting nationally again.
After watching enough high school basketball I’ve realized this is generally true for most players. Be it a lack of motivation or conditioning. But I don’t think this should uniquely impact Stewart’s ranking.
Not a Ball/Jackson athlete, but he seems like a solid athlete & has potential to improve in that area. We got another good one.
I wonder where Earl Kelley falls on that list...
This kinda gets to my respect to Ross post, as Jaylins commitment likely impacts him more than anyone else, yet he showed up, encouraged & bought in fully to the strategy
No, Calhoun did not bring in transfers every year. That was the beautiful thing with him. Watching players grow up and develop in the program.
Different time. Not relevant in any case.
To be fair, the college basketball environment wasn’t even close then to what it is now. JC was such a great coach he would have adapted to what he needed to do. I am certain he would have utilized the transfer portal if he were coaching today.
Honestly, Stewart seems like the #2 “ready” guy after Castle. Anybody know why he’s so low in the rankings?
You hear, ‘I can’t get five transfers and play the way I want to play,’” Calhoun said. “What I see is not a good ending. I don’t know what the good ending is. I know people say, ‘kids should to be able to transfer.’ Yeah ... I hate to throw everything at the NCAA because they have an impossible job, I understand that. But when they picked and chose who got a waiver and who didn’t, that kind of set this whole thing up.

You’re right, but he was always looking to recruit over his current players. Many former players have said they were always looking over their shoulder and knew JC would recruit over them given the opportunity. He wanted the best players he could get.
I know but I’m not the one who said that’s what Calhoun did.
Why would he need to when what he did worked?
I feel like bringing in a recruit is different than bringing in a junior or senior expecting to play because that’s why they came.
What he did worked cause the environment of college basketball at the time.
