Fwiw SuperJohn (main person I’m assuming this is directed toward) never said Solo was bad that I saw. Just was making a opposite side viewpoint when people would talk about solos ranking.

He wasn’t wrong @ that point in time

Updated Rankings: ESPN Basketball Recruiting - Player Rankings

Stephon Castle: #23
Solo Ball: #50
Jayden Ross: NR
Jaylin Stewart: #97 (way way way too low, but maybe good for us...)

It's laughable how underrated Stewart is. He's better than 70+ of the people ahead of him (not exaggerating). Easily as skilled and productive as Solo and Castle.

Will the posters who freaked out over his composite 247Sports ranking be O.K. now? :)

as one of those who were freaking out- part of the issue was that ball didnt seem to be as underrated as stewart was/is. the reports on ball from our resident scouts e.g. bfield and ricker, seemed consistent with his 100+ ranking. never expected this huge jump as a result.

Unless he commits elsewhere. In that case, he's not nearly as good as Castle, Ball, or Ross :cool:

Castle in UA and Ball and Stewart in EYBL were in top five in offensive production this summer. Major reason I want Stewart and am high on this class if he commits.

Sure for the 247 ranking. For the composite Griffiths is #31, Bowen is #33, and Ball is #113.

Trash ESPN rankings dragging him down. They have him as a 3-star. We all know that this is wrong.

Composite for him is not updated. Give it time, they finally updated Castles.

BOOOM! Solo is now composite 42.

are the class rankings updated?

edit- they are and somehow we are still 7 despite our players all getting big bumps

So now On3 is the outlier on Ball. Thankfully we can confirm that the 247 composite doesn't use On3 for basketball, only for football. And we can all agree that 247 composite is the one true source and On3 is stricken from the record. Dead to us.

Ball is now 50 (ESPN), 38 (247), 47 (Rivals) and 118 (On3). There's no way he's a 247 composite 41 if they included the 118. For example, he's composite 61 on On3, which makes much more sense with the 3 top 50 ranks and one outside the top 100.

Castle is 22, 23, 24, and 27 (in same order as above). Must be a lot of volatility in the teens and 20s of other sites for him to be 20/23 in the 247/On3 composites, despite being ranked lower than that in all individual rankings.
 
FWIW, saw this in an ESPN+ article today.

It has been nearly five months since the ESPN 100 -- and ESPN 60 and ESPN 25, of course -- was completely updated. In that time, we've seen new men's basketball recruits establish themselves as five-star prospects, a handful of players make cases to be the No. 1-ranked player in the 2023 class, and plenty of commitments. Dozens and dozens of commitments.

Men's basketball recruits who climbed the rankings, the battle for No. 1 and more storylines

More prospects are making their case to be the top men's basketball recruit in the 2023 class. What about the race for the No. 1 class?
www.espn.com www.espn.com

So that's why they had Ball so low. He was a break out star this past spring and summer. The other services have updated their rankings multiple times since ESPN updated theirs.

8. More new faces into the ESPN 100​

G Solomon Ball
ESPN 100 ranking: 50

Ball, a UConn commit, has great length, speed and explosiveness. He was second on the circuit in transition points per game and was one of the most efficient volume scorers on the circuit, scoring 1.01 points per possession, according to Synergy Sports. "He has a lot of similarities to Donovan Mitchell," said Brewster Academy coach Jason Smith, who coached Mitchell before he enrolled at Louisville and was drafted in 2017. Ball finds his way to the rim most times and is a determined finisher. Though he shoots just 28% from long distance, he has the work habits to change that entering his senior season. "He has a tremendous work ethic and desire to improve daily," Smith said.
 
Solo is such a unique prospect I can see how one site would love him and another wouldn’t.

This probably isn’t worth its own thread, but Isaiah Coleman committed to…College of Charleston? I did not see that one coming.

Something tells me the recruiting services think much more highly of this guy than college coaches.

For what it’s worth, depending again on how much stock you put in these rankings, a lot of those “higher ranked guys” dropped throughout the year. Solo has now since surpassed both Griffiths & Bowen.

Solo was a great catch. Hard to believe that he was well over #100 at one time. I think he is going to be something we have been after for a long time. A big physical guard who can shoot and take it to the hole with authority. Kudos to the staff for being on him early.

He’s the second 4 star they’ve gotten this summer

I tend to lean towards it being a grades/attitude/work ethic issue that scares coaches away. Cause even if he’s over ranked as a top 50 player, some low level P5 or Big East school would take a chance on him. If he’s truly that level of talent, it would mean all the talent evaluators have been off for awhile.
