Battle is #7.

 

[Francis03]

Battle is #7.

Thanks man. I was blind on that one because those fools would lose all credibility if Battle wasn't ranked in the top 25.

 

[AWMKY]

No sweat. I missed him on the first glance too. Thanks for posting this stuff today!

No problem and thanks for joining the recruiting board family over here . I always enjoy the new highlight videos that you tend to find.

 

[AWMKY]

Thanks for the welcoming. It's fun finding recent footage on players the staff has shown interest in. Waiting on new Kaleb Joseph footage (this board has made this kid a must get...after JB made him a must get).

We are in on Heron? Nice, a 6'4 point guard.
Edit: Ok, I looked on three different sites, and he was listed as a PG on one, SG on another and finally as a SF on the last. I am guessing at this stage, it is often hard to pinpoint how these kids' skills will develop, and how their bodies will develop, so projecting their position is difficult.

I watched Heron play against Kaleb Joseph's team earlier in the year and he ran point for them anytime he was in the game. He has a big strong frame and is very physical, which is why I guess some project him to be a wing down the line. His jump shot was a little flat when I last saw him but he's very versatile and can do a lot of things well.

7)Battle
37)Murray
41)Cyrus
42)Washington

Murray is a top 25 talent. He's still playing his HS ball in Canada, so his exposure is going to be limited compared to others until the AAU/Camp season during the spring and summer.

Man, I want Battle in a big way. Just makes so much sense.

Did I catch in another thread that Battle might reclassify to 2015.?

Yes you did and I've been meaning to ask Francis about that too.

He's one year older for his class. So it all depends on what his credits are looking like for that to happen. He and his family could be fine with just staying in 2016, but the possible 2015 option is indeed interesting though.

 

[Antiprodigy]

That would be perfect when Joseph blows up and takes SU to yet another final four. He can slip right in when Joseph takes his talents to the NBA!

how did Diagne drop from 29th to 44th? I agree they should be embarrassed!

He committed to the wrong school to get recruiting ranking advances.

Looks like they are only ranking players at U.S. schools.

lol, I didn't believe you about Murray until I saw. Such idiots. They only had us on Diagne's "list" after he committed. Does Jerry help them out?

 

[tee1222]

Fact.

 

[rrlbees]

He committed to the wrong school to get recruiting ranking advances.

What are the right schools?

 

[tee1222]

What are the right schools?

UNC, Duke, Kentucky
Take UK for instance. Did you know that Ulis was bumped up huge over the past year? I noticed . The internet archive works wonders. Ulis is listed at 5'9. He's fast, he's talented. But he did not deserve McDs, nor did he deserve going from 60+ to 25 in a heartbeat.

Where's Waldo? Well, you won't find him here:
https://web.archive.org/web/2013030...uiting/playerrankings/_/class/2014/order/true

Doesn't sound like a conspiracy theory when you base it on fact. Sorry bees, not a personal attack on you, I just disagree. And by the way, Ulis didn't blow up lately. He's going to Kentucky.
