ESPN Basketball Recruiting - Player Rankings

 

[BackAftaThis]

I still don't know how Akok is being evaluated considering he isn't playing. He's become more of a 2018 recruit that is redshirting vs. a 2019 recruit at this rate.

 

[goskis2018]

Sheesh that's a hard fall for Akok. Did diallo fall after commiting to Kentucky?

 

[Towney007]

Yeah I kinda think everyone's where they should be more or less really except Gaffney. Who I think it a really, really, really, really good basketball player.

No. But Akok's ranking is also completely based on one weekend of good play. He was overrated.

 

[kansashusky]

Can we please sign Tre Mitchell up? After his performance at Hoop Hall, this should be a no brainier.

 

[gtcam]

Harlond Beverly at 95 is a stud and is way underrated

 

[Towney007]

No. But Akok's ranking is also completely based on one weekend of good play. He was overrated.

FWIW, I don't think he's a top 30 guy either. Love him. He'll be really good. Just not yet.

Agreed, I think Gaffney is gonna be a total stud. Hard to move up much once your ranking is set before senior year. They had him criminally low for his talent, still an over 60 spot jump is big.

Whoops, I was thinking this was 247 new rankings. I think ESPN always had Gaffney ranked around where he is now.

 

[goskis2018]

I guess ultimately the ranking doesn't matter. I expect his shot blocking will translate up a level and whether or not his 3 ball is for real will determine how long he stays at UConn. If he can shoot this kid will be a lottery pick in the modern NBA.

 

[HawkHusky]

Akok may be a Top 30 player come Fall 2019 after a semester of practice with Hurley.

 

[Towney007]

My biggest thing is UConn, not the NBA.

And I mean - if you're in the top 100, you're a really good basketball player, period. There's a very high chance you're going to be very good. From there on, out - it's more of a question of fit, need, chemistry, work habits, what kind of kid they are... Their 'fit' basically.

I like Akok a lot, I think he'll really fit well here. He could be #100 or #1 for all I care. Good players. Good fits. Check and check.

 

[Towney007]

Oh for sure. I mean we'll see what happens in four years or whatever, but put a gun to my head right now and i think he's the guy we look back at this class and say 'yeah, he was really good.'

Just everything is there for him to be a really fantastic 2-4 year player in college.

Drops our class ranking to 16. Which is astounding considering we aren't in the Big East

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Donnell’s cousin?

 

[AdamaNation]

Prescious dropping means he’s coming our way right? Doesn’t everyone drop when linked to us?

 

[FlippinCrazy!]

What was bouknight before?

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

What was bouknight before?

It was something like
Akok-40
Bouknight-83
Gaffney-97

But James Wiseman tho.......

Serious ca$h changing hands there methinks

 

[Leebo]

Why would you need to jump to money to explain a Memphis kid who played AAU ball for Penny committing to Memphis when Penny becomes the coach?

 

[Towney007]

But James Wiseman tho..

Serious ca$h changing hands there methinks

lol wasn't like Penny wasn't his AAU coach 8 minutes ago...

 

[UCDaveD]
