This isn’t meant to be a freak out over stars, but this is a very abnormal signing class for Howland as compared to his prior 4. Is he intentionally laying low in light of the FBI hearings or did he just whiff on his top targets this year?

- I like this kid's words about why he committed, what he is looking forward to within the program, etc.
- Panama, huh? Is he the son of some ex-pats living down there or something? Kid has a solid grasp on English for being from a country where few speak it fluently and being in the US for just a year.
- He is already at his second high school/academy in the US. Red flag in my book. The more high schools/academies/prep schools a player attends before college, the more likely they are to transfer in college. And the more schools they attend before college, the sooner they transfer once in college(as in after freshman year). I hope this kid comes in and sticks around.
- The ability to come to a new country as a teenager, assimilate, and get an education is always impressive. All while improving on basketball too. Its neat to read about kids who can do this. There is some impressive drive and determination needed to do those things.

In the last 4 years, Howland has signed three Top 25 classes with the only exception being a year that he only signed 2 guys. That year, one of the two guys was Nick Weatherspoon

So far with the 2019 class, it’s ranked outside the Top 60 and next to last in the SEC. I’m not saying that anyone sucks. I’m just saying that one of these classes is not like any of the others, and it’s not even close at this point

What's really impressive is how well he's playing considering that from what I have heard, Iverson doesn't show up to practice.

We have benefited greatly from legacies in recent years, and there aren’t really any in this class.

It’s not an exact science. Howland’s best class on paper was the 2016 class, and the top three ranked commits in that class were Kegler, Herard, and Wright. That class was inflated a little by how big it was.

It’s also not accurate to say this class isn’t even close to any other class that Howland signed. It’s currently ranked higher than the 2017 two person class and if we sign Jeffries it will likely jump into the Top 30 or so.
