Maybe Cal should have looked at this kid. A three star guard from a small town in Southwest Virginia. He is a sophomore and has averaged 25 points per game in the last five games (all wins) and has been named Big East player two weeks in a row. He is the all time leading scorer in Virginia High School basketball. Sometimes the stars don't mean everything.
Mac McClung at Georgetown
- Thread starter kl40504_rivals
- Start date
He won’t make it in the pros, so he’s irrelevant to Cal. Kentucky is about preparing players for their professional basketball careers, not winning games.
And yet Kentucky won more games than any other D1 school from 2010-2019.
Incredible coincidence.
Dude, you gotta stop being so condescending and negative in every thread on this board. Just stop.
While I'm sure this isn't 100% true it is in the high 90s.
Usually both work to accomplish the same goals because you have to have good players to win. However there are exceptions.
Three star recruit. He was all over UTube with highlight dunks. Only 6'2" but could jump out of the gym.
Richards nor Montgomery will sniff the nba either but he still got them.
They both may make it because of size if nothing else.
I remember people on here talking about him. Most said he is just a 3 star, we don't want a 3 star here. The same ones that said that also said he is not quick enough, and he is only good because he doesn't play against any body. He looks pretty good to me.
Nope.. He had maybe 4 P5 offers.. Everyone thought he was at best a mid major athlete.. He basically was only known for his dunks.. Dudes got close to a 50" vertical..
Not sure why McClung was only rated a three star.
Dude has unbelievable athleticism, put up crazy impressive stats (broke Allen Iverson's state scoring records) and carried his team to the state championship. What did the scouts not like?

Looks good to me. He is also shooting 95 percent from the free throw line.
Signed three pretty good guards in that class. Two of them still playing key roles. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess, but nobody gets them all.
We went and watched one of his high school games.. Man he put on a show.. Unbelievable dunks.. Went to gate city high school.. Before get to kingsport..
He is a white kid from a small town. Don't know why he didn't get more looks. He originally committed to Rutgers and changed his mind after a visit to his home by Patrick Ewing from Georgetown.
Why don’t we just look at every random school and wonder why we didn’t recruit a certain player.
If either make it would be Richards. Montgomery has zero shot to play in the NBA. There are plenty of people his size that never sniffed the nba, he will be one of them barring a major transformation in the next year and a half.
They never watched him play, that is why they didn't like about him. Most scouts only rate players by watching them in the wild and crazy world of aau, and only great athletes stand out in that type of play, it never enters their minds wheather a guy and actually play basketball or not. Only thing that matters to most scouts is how quick a guy is or how high they can jump.

Not to mention Joe B. Hall took Richard “Master Blaster” Madison when Dan Majerle was there for the taking. Sucks.
Asking why we didnt go after a 3-star player, when 90% of them suck balls, isnt a good take.
Or to mention that Georgetown's leading scorer is Omer Yurtseven, a 7 footer averaging 18/10 and 2 blocks.
I mean, if you're going to pine for Georgetown players, why not him?
I have some ideas about that, but Merry Christmas.
I hate to tell you but college basketball is full of 3 star rated players that can play. Your way of thinking is why most other people think that Kentucky fans are stupid.
Great player. Hate his name. Like flinging wet poop against a canvas and calling it art.
Would love to have him though

Name me 10 3-star players that would have contributed for us by the end of their Sophomore years (well past our fanbases expectations, mind you).. and I'll name you 500 that wouldn't.
dont say it; if you do this thread will go like 12 pages and I’ll have to read a bunch of junk from many posters I don’t care for.
I live near Gate City. I've been a Kentucky fan for 50 years and understand our talent level. Mac is high energy and could play significant minutes on this team. However, Cal would never look at a three star four year player.
