Class of 2026 G/SF Alex Constanza (FL / SpireOH) to Georgetown

White dropping to 48 is a joke and makes no sense.

Why?
It’s all relative. Maybe there were risers who impressed more. White is a nice prospect, but even through my lightly-tinted lenses, I see someone with a one-dimensional offensive game. I’m not sure it translates to the next level. Yet. Not that he can’t be effective, but if you watch his games and reels, those types of plays don’t happen as much in college.

His strength is defense and putting the ball on the floor. Shooting is not a strength. We never get complete players and they are the difference makers.

I disagree. I saw him at the Peach Jam.

He has great offensive and defensive skills (Defensive is a little ahead of the offensive) He can play a specific role or he can be the go to guy to dominate on any team. He has demonstrated the leadership skills that you want on the team. Plus he is truly a team player in cheering on his team and teammates when he is not in the game.

‘’This is kid one would want to build team around.

The fact that the Carolina schools didn’t recruit him is my biggest fear. He’s a good athlete. I’m not sure if he basketball skills are all there.

Even if Kiyan commits, this recruiting class will not move us up much in the ACC. We’re still not in the same stratosphere of the top ACC teams. White dropped to #48 in one of the recruiting sites and our last two recruits are three stars. They’re good players, but they are not difference makers. We better hit the portal for next year, but based on this year’s portal kids, we won’t get involved with any major players. Are they better recruits than what JB was getting? Yes, but that’s not hard to do.

The Aussie is not a 3 star. Use your damn eyes.

Some hotshot with his PC will find a bunch of mid-major undervalued players that will make the totality of the team elite.

At least that's what I'm banking on.

So, you use the worse ranking to indicate that he is not a difference maker? Why not use his highest ranking (#15) and say he is a player to build the class around?
 
Capt. Tuttle said:
We don’t know if they are difference makers. You know who wouldn’t have been difference makers based on HS ratings: Sherm, Hak, Rony, DNic, GMac, Andy, Buddy, Flynn, etc.
Expand...
Say what? Johnny Flynn was a 5 star and Hakim warrick and Dnic were both top 30ish in the country, they were definitely seen as potential difference makers coming in.

We saw a high light tape. Everyone looks great in a high light tape. You never see the missed shots, turnovers or getting blown by on defense. There are no hidden gems anymore. Coaches know who can play. Is he maybe good? I hope so, but don’t tell me you know he a top 50-60 kid because you saw a tape.

He had better stats than the guy UConn signed who’s a 4 star on the same team.

It’s interesting they get the four star and we the three. There’s a reason they’re going for three straight national championships. Don‘t try to compare UCONN’s level of talent to ours. It’s not even close. We’re going after the top players in CT, that UCONN has no interest in.

You’re moving the goalposts. Our guy hasn’t even been rated by the scouting services. They have no idea who he is because there was no expectation he would come stateside.

Remember that Andre Jackson kid? He couldn’t shoot it coming in as a frosh but did so many other things well plus a great athlete and was highly rated and sure was a bum…
