Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 1177256, member: 2458"] Yeah, I remember Blackwell getting John Wallace comparisons coming out of HS. He was definitely a top 25 recruit. I remember Ramel Lloyd being in the top 25 range too. Hart was more like top 40-50. Going strictly off memory here though, but I'm pretty sure about it. Etan's ratings seemed to be more all over the place. Some had him around 50, some had him around 100. I remember one magazine called him Dedrick Thomas, another called him Derrick Thomas...and when he got to Cuse he was Etan Thomas. I only remember it because I was real excited for that class. And yeah, the following years classes were not strong and the best players were very under the radar recruit like Damone Brown and Shumpert. The 96 class was definitely an exception in that era and was our first real strong class in awhile and the last one until the Edelin-Warrick-Pace-Forth-Konecny class. [/QUOTE]
