New 247 Rankings

Hawkins can clearly shoot and is definitely going to have a professional career somewhere, but he needs to still work on his handle to get separation without being solely reliant on screens. Ball handling at the 2 position is a must if you want to play at the highest levels.

I think you're underrating Romologou a bit. Not sure he'll crack the rotation next year but I'd expect him to be a lot closer to the top 10 rotation than being forced off the team

then i guess it's either him or springs for the 13th spot

Any word on how the two international guys have been doing in practice? In other words.. Positive vibes or just ok? Haven't heard anything on them..
 
Castle in rare air as a top 10 recruit for us. I don’t know the full rundown for some of the earlier guys, for whom the ranking data isn’t as well documented, but for later guys, I know:

Rudy
Charlie V
Kemba
Bynum
Drummond (at least pre last minute reclass)

Who am I missing?

I'd agree with that. Year 5 of Richie Springs I think it's time for an honest evaluation. Whether that's competing for a rotation spot or moving a level down I'm not sure, but a development spot for a 5th year guy just doesn't seem like a great use of a scholarship

"A product of Garfield High in Seattle, Stewart isn’t as flashy as some others in the class but he gets the job done. He’s strong, he’s skilled and he offers a lot of versatility because he’ll be able to play on the wing or as a small ball four when the Huskies really want to get out and run."

The kid is hitting step back iso three's and finishes iwth 360's dunks on the break. Great to see him get a rankings bump, but he's still underrated and clearly isn't being watched that closely. Jaylin Stewart's a surefire top 50 player, probably top 30, in my novice opinion.

Donyell for sure. He was top 10. Don't think Rip or KEA were top 10. They were more 20'ish.

He’s going to be very good from day 1. I think he’s going to end up having the most impactful Husky career of the fab 5. Castle is likely only to be around for one season

Maybe because mentally he’d be able to handle the NBA more, but he’s not Bouknight skill wise right now.

His isolation game is just not there.
Expand ...
He’s a better shooter (could be an elite level skill for him) and I would say a better defender.

As long as he hits at good rate and plays good defense he will have a NBA career that last a while

I thought newton was a junior? Why am I all of a sudden seeing “Senior”next to his name on the roster? And I thought the only seniors were Alleyne and joey c?
Expand ...
Not sure why you’re thinking that. He’s in the exact situation as Alleyne, played 3 years at previous school. So he’s a senior but has a Covid year remaining if he wants it. This is Joey’s Covid year; he’s the only one on the roster with no eligibility left.

I think KEA was a MCDAA. Not sure of his rank or how that translated then to now.

KEA and RIP were both burger boys but outside top 10 in their class.

Taliek was #10

Has there ever been a city that put out a better trio of PG recruits than NYC that year

Taliek, Omar Cook, and Andre Barrett. Pretty sure they were all top 15 and burger boys. It’s was great they all stayed home and played in the BE

At this rate he’s not going anywhere.

My bad. I should really rely more on the BY experts than ppl getting paid to do this.

He’s averaging 14.6 over the past 5 games. % aren’t great but the kid has a shot on him. Our recency bias as a fan group is comical sometimes

If Hawkins, Karaban, and Clingan stay and play with this incoming group we will have a great team. A legit title contender,

He's going to get that bump up on Rivals also. Just saw this article from 8 days ago.

2. STEPHON CASTLE​

CURRENT RANKING: 24
WHY HE’S EARNED A BUMP: Castle already carries a lofty, top 25 ranking but his development as a do-it-all guard has that ranking feeling a little low. Few guards in the class impact the game in as many ways as Castle, whose length, court vision, motor and improved shooting ability have helped him stuff stat sheets this season. In addition to possessing true three-level scoring ability, he’s a threat to rack up double-digit assists or rebounds every time he takes the floor. He has seemingly cut back on bad turnovers as a senior as well. Castle is becoming even more dangerous off the bounce, as he’s difficult to keep away from the rim without fouling.
RECRUITMENT: Castle has signed with UConn.

Rivals just released only their top 10. Castle up to #10. Sounds like we're getting a very good one.

10. STEPHON CASTLE (UConn)​

Cassidy says ... "A newcomer to the top 10, Stephon Castle jumped up 14 spots in this update on the back of added muscle and a string of dominant performances against elite competition on big stages. Few guards in the class are capable of stuffing the box score like the UConn signee, who has become a much better facilitator and rebounder this year.

"There were questions about whether or not he could play the 1 in college, and the answer to that question is starting to look like “yes.” He still needs to become a more consistent shooter, but his versatility and upside suggest he could move up the rankings even more down the road."
