Message: [QUOTE="73CAV, post: 2525353, member: 3916"] Well, if you believe that ESPN, Rivals, Scout-24/7 are competent at evaluating school boy basketball talent, then sure. However, keep an eye on Frankie Badocchi next year (for the moment, 6'7", 185 lbs.). He redshirted this year after undergoing successful surgery last summer. Also, he didn't play AAU ball the summer after his junior year. The various services didn't get to really evaluate him. Bennett has described him as a "hidden gem". Bennett has rarely described unproven recruits with that sort of praise. While it is true that the Virginia fan base has a tendency to over hype players who have yet to play a game, we are all a bit excited about Badocchi's prospects. [/QUOTE]
