I agree but recruiting rankings have almost always been based off of ceiling, production is not the most important of the criteria. For example, Derek Lively averaged 14 ppg his senior season and was a top 3 consensus recruit. And he’s been really, really bad for Duke this season.Stewart just feels way too low. His game is going to translate to the college game fairly easily from what I've watched.

Or puberty.Why did the Ball drop? This isnt times square.

When the class shakes out perhaps a transfer or two will fill out this concern, but until that happens, we seem to have enough that don't like to shoot or can't consistently. Hurley has emphasized defense but even there, we seem to be sliding toward average with our bigs having to cover quick guards that get to the rim.Shooting struggles with Brewster.
I will say what concerns me most about this class, and our future make up, is shooting. Stewart is a good shooting combo forward but not an elite shooter overall. None of the other recruits can really shoot. The majority of our rotation next year could be below average or non-shooters. Ball, SC, AJax, DC, YS, SJ, HD… yet DC needs space to be effective.
Seems to be a stable of Hurley recruits. High level athletes with shooting deficiencies which probably pushes their ranks down a bit. The challenge is turning one of these kids into shooters on the court, which he hasn’t shown the ability to do yet.Shooting struggles with Brewster.

Jayden Ross is supposedly a very good shooter.None of the other recruits can really shoot.
Looks pretty but he’s a little streaky. He’s also more a developmental piece so won’t be involved. But overall looking forward shooting may be an issue. Who knows maybe Hawkins returns and shooting is a strength.Jayden Ross is supposedly a very good shooter.
Currently in mock drafts as late first rounder. I don't see how he comes back assuming conditions hold.Looks pretty but he’s a little streaky.
