Now ranked at 169.
Niiiiiiiiiiice.Now ranked at 169.
Now ranked at 169.
He's almost to the ranking for him to be a good player for us.
Sarcasm here fellas.
This statement is just not true. Lol. Jim Calhoun recruited and landed many players outside the top 35. Shabazz, Jeremy lamb, and Niels Giffey ring any bells to you...Back way back we'd be pissed with anyone outside top 35 and now we're pumped we've landed a top 175 player
I should have a failing off the cliff gif but I don't

Understood. But unless I mistaken the word on Carlton is he has improved tremendously and is expected to possibly be a top 100 recruit by the time it's all said and done. Not saying he's going to dominate from day one. But I think most rational posters here think he'll be a good 4 year big for us. @JSM1970 has this weird obsession with downing this kid. It's strangeThat is true. But, to be honest, when I read "moves up 60 spots" I expected to see a jump from, like, 130 to 70.
Going from 240 to 169...are we really tripping over ourselves to be excited about a guy who's not a small distance outside the top 100?
Rankings don't mean everything, but there is a strong correlation between recruiting ranking and college success.
A few years back we recruited a kid by the name of Kyle Kuzma, a PF who was ranked 180th on the 247 list. Lost him to Utah, and he had a nothing first year - 3.3 points, 1.8 rebounds in 8 MPG.That is true. But, to be honest, when I read "moves up 60 spots" I expected to see a jump from, like, 130 to 70.

Someone has to play the 5.I was underwhelmed with him at first, but now he's putting up really nice stats on a very good team. The 60 spot jump might be the beginning of his rise. The people pretending he'll play serious min as a freshman need to calm down though.

Diarra is 6'7 and hasn't played a minute of college. Durham is no where near strong enough to play at the 5. Carlton is going to have to be primary back up as of now.I would be shocked if Enoch didn't start at the 5 next year, with Diarra or Durham sliding in if he still gets into foul trouble issues. He's our best option and he'll have to develop to fit the role we need him to play for us.
And if I were KO I would have Larrier working on his post game ASAP!

JSM doesn't have a specific issue with Carlton.
He has an issue with every single thing on the planet.

Yeah, I hated it when UConn landed Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon, Jake Voskuhl, Jeremy Lamb, Shabazz Napier, Jerome Dyson, etc. That pissed me off.
