February 12, 201016 yr 7 players not commited and 5 of them have UK at the top of there List. I think UK gets 3 of the 5. What does everybody else think? Also the #25 PF in the country makes the team.:ohbrother: http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/recruiting/tracker/mcdonaldsallamericans?&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fncb%2frecruiting%2ftracker%2fmcdonaldsallamericans http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/basketball/womens/news/story?id=4905828 Edited February 12, 201016 yr by amos
February 12, 201016 yr Also the #25 PF in the country makes the team.:ohbrother: Not sure which is worse. The best player in NYC ranked that low or you making a snap judgment on a player you know nothing about... :ohbrother:
February 12, 201016 yr Not sure which is worse. The best player in NYC ranked that low or you making a snap judgment on a player you know nothing about... :ohbrother: What is his ranking on Rivals?
February 12, 201016 yr Not sure which is worse. The best player in NYC ranked that low or you making a snap judgment on a player you know nothing about... :ohbrother: I agree. The Burger committee normally does an excellent job at rewarding the players who are in the game. Instead of basing their judgements off basically just the AAU circuit (like most recruiting services do), a lot more emphasis is placed on their high school careers/seasons. They don't just go down the rivals/scout/espnu/etc. lists and say we'll take this guy, that guy, or what not. They base their selections on actual on court performance, numbers, and accolades.
February 12, 201016 yr 4 star and #67 overall... Sounds similar to Plumlee last year. I haven't went back and checked or anything, but give or take a few spots I think this is about the same ranking Mason Plumlee has by Rivals when he was selected for the McD's game. Just because a kids not top 40 doesn't mean he can't play. Lot of kids get overlooked because they may play football as well, or do other things that prohibit them from playing a lot, if any, summer basketball. This can cause them to go overlooked by the recruiting services. Don't get me wrong, its a great measuring stick when you have the best guys in the country going up against one another on the summer circuit. But, you can't discredit what these guys accomplish during their high school seasons, and this is something that the McD's committee and the Gatorade committee look into thoroughly.

I'm pretty sure Mason was top 40. Without looking, I wanna say 35th if not higher. Too lazy to look though
February 12, 201016 yr I'm pretty sure Mason was top 40. Without looking, I wanna say 35th if not higher. Too lazy to look though 55th on Rivals...
February 12, 201016 yr 55th on Rivals... Not to offend you...:lol:But he was 18th on Scout. Was he higher on rivals until the last ranking?
February 12, 201016 yr Not to offend you...:lol:But he was 18th on Scout. Was he higher on rivals until the last ranking? I'm no longer with Rivals so no offense taken. I think it was the 2nd to last rankings that he dropped. He didn't have a very good final AAU tour...
February 12, 201016 yr I'm no longer with Rivals so no offense taken. I think it was the 2nd to last rankings that he dropped. He didn't have a very good final AAU tour... I see. I knew he was ranked high at one point and seemed to still be on Scout, so that's my out :lol: But I'm super excited about Duke's Burger Boy this year. :banana: :dancingpa Can't wait for him to get on campus.
February 12, 201016 yr Irving is insane good, and gives Duke something they have been missing at the PG spot for a long time. The best part is he brings an intensity level that I think they have been also missing for a while. Very, very good get for your Dookies...
