Message: [QUOTE="Austin316, post: 3154743, member: 8091"] There isnt much on big Rick aside from what we have from rivals. Seeing as rivals puts him ahead of Jon Bol Ajak, Syracuse commit 3* 0.8535 per 247 and Raymond Hawkins, Alabama commit 0.8992 per 247 I think it’s safe to say he’s a 3* high 80’s guy for you 247 nerds. All these recruiting websites vary, of course, in rankings so it’s very difficult to guesstimate a ranking. Rick has BIG12 offers but it doesn’t seem like he’s visited anywhere outside of UConn which is good for us but can be one of those “proceed with caution” as he hasn’t had a proper evaluation from the big time recruiting outlets. In a recent TCU basketball recruiting article: “Playing for Bella Vista coach Kyle Weaver, a TCU alum himself, has certainly helped the shot-blocking dynamo build a relationship with the basketball staff, and it’s likely to come down to the Frogs or Bears when it comes to winning the big man’s services.” HS coach is a TCU alum. Meh. Raw talent, sure. But with Josh picking up a majority of the minutes, competing with him and Akok regularly, and the mere fact you can’t teach size I would love to have him. 7’1” is pretty damn tall! [/QUOTE]
