I don’t put a ton of credence into the rankings I cited. But, when I was posting, I googled lists, chose the first three that I recognized, and the first two didn’t even have numbers. They only went up to 100, and we didn’t have anyone on either top 100 list. The third one did have numbers, and was one commonly referenced on this forum, so that was that.

Either way—it’s a tough task to rank players like that. But, still—those numbers do mean something. And if it were the other way around, the people who are now saying the numbers mean this or that or don’t mean this or that would be crowing about them if we did have a highly-regarded guy. Like they do with “#6” Freeman.

But, whatever. I was merely refuting an assertion. Optimism is great. Delusion and misrepresentation are not so great. I’ve been positive about Lampkin, and even posited defensive arguments about his potential defense. I’m the one who found and cited Carlos’ cluster of insanely high scoring HS games. Davis is from my hometown and played his Hs games walking distance from where I grew up. I have high hopes for each of them and think they all fit needs. But the realistic/practical side worries that we needed to make bigger impacts. No one knows what will result and I still think we’ll be good enough for a bid, but it’s like we are still just working on getting to the fringe, and that’s just too close for comfort. “The mind wobbles” when people say that we’re ’crushing it’ and the like.
