Looking at this kid in a vacuum and not worrying about who we missed out on, I like it. The film is actually pretty impressive more so than some higher ranked guys who we have gotten in the past like Moyer and Jalen Carey, to name two, where when you watched the film, you wondered how they could be so highly ranked. We’ve done well with some under recruited guys, Moten and Joseph are two that come to mind, and it costs us nothing to take a chance with this guy. He has skills, I guess I’m in the vast minority but I’m excited with this surprise get.
agreed
im not too up to date on who is who in this recruiting class
but I feel like people in this thread are way too focused on the ratings ...they really dont mean much.
i mean Ja Morant was a zero star unranked player...steph curry was a 3 star and apparently not even in the top 50 PGs in hs class...STEPH CURRY!!
if that doesnt tell you what you need to know, idk what to tell you.
there's simply way too many players across the country for the rankings to be accurate...
unfortunately SU hasnt really hit too well on some guys that were lower rated in the past couple years...so I get that there's some whiplash here...but it does happen frequently that lower rated guys blow up in NCAABB. do I want 5 stars? yeah...obviously...but schools like kentucky havent won much lately, either.
when i watch Womoack's tape, there's a lot to like: he moves like a guy under 6 feet (in a good way)...his shot is wet...and there's a good chance he keeps rowing and comes in around 6'8" or whatever...players that coordinated at his height are not really that common, imo (assuming he keeps growing)
my hope is that they had womack run with the current team unofficially and he did well...so they scooped him up.
as fa as missing out on the other recruits...it happens. these guys have so many options...its a numbers game. i'd rather them swing and miss than not swing at all.
keep going for the 5 stars.
team just needs to have a great season and the 5 stars will come.
what are people expecting from a team that hasnt made the tourney in 3 years????
this coming season is huge. have a great season and it changes everything, imo
