New 247 Rankings

[Huskyforlife]

Is it just me, or does Solo get sorta ignored here relative to his ranking? Most years a dude ranked 33 would be our highest rated recruit. 247 now has him as the second overall SG in the entire class.

"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.

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."

Stewart still feels underrated to me.

He's so smooth.

Now if we could just find someone to coach them......
