2023 Recruiting: Stephon Castle on Reclassifying

[BGesus4]

It's AAU... most of it is meaningless, especially before Peach Jam.

Does he play in peach jam? I think he’s under armor circuit

You're right. Even more true then... AAU is just a showcase most of the time.

Kids are still competing. I think his numbers have to do with his extraordinarily high usage.

But like, he’s not taking contested 30 footers, to my knowledge. Isn’t AAU known for terrible defense?

But he’d be a high usage guy for us, against much better comp. He’s probably not ready.

Or maybe he’s just having a tough shooting stretch lol. As others said, it’s AAU, not the most strategic basketball.

How many games have they played so far? Maybe it’s a small sample.

Every time I see there's a new post in this thread I get hopeful, but it's always highlights :/

I doubt he'll get the kind of training he needs to keep improving his athleticism in HS. His hops are pretty good and he's strong for his age and size--it's the hip fluidity and foot speed that need some tinkering.

But yeah this kid is going to be a beast. Looks more like a one and done every time I see him.

What's the ratio of kids who come here who are proclaimed to be possible one and dones to those who are actually one and dones? I'm fairly certain the ratio is a very substantial number to one.

And then I get a little sad. And then I say "I might as well watch the highlights" and then I get super pumped for '23.

 

[Samoo]

Is that one of the Hanson brothers guarding him? Hope he hadn't put on the foil...

The best of the best…

Same but if there’s an announcement their will be a new thread. We both know that, but still are like:

I think he is staying in 23" class.

I think people said already that reclassification can't happen until the player graduates. For someone like Caste, that may require summer classes. So it just isn't possible for it to be announced right now.

He's only 23"?

Your facts are no match for my reactionary reading of The Boneyard.

(But agree.)

 

[CL82]

I was thinking his vertical seems higher than that.

It’s possible he doesn’t want to get ahead of himself. But couldn’t he say he intends to reclassify if/once he’s deemed eligible? Not like you have to put all that in the social media edit.
