Original, Get a life! You are most likely one of the people who ripped Pike and our recruits. No one said you had to read what I wrote.

Game for Mag junior year. This is prior to Prolific getting Jalen Greene this year, an NBA lottery pick, who dominates the games. Number 25 on Prolific is a McDonalds All-American and number 33 is Colman Hawkins, who RU wanted, but he chose Illinois. Mag is #3.



Notice how Hawkins was not a starter..

Look to be fair I am not saying they don’t deserve ships. These three would be perfect complimentary recruits with two studs like a Cliff O and another top 150 guard or shooting forward. If this ends up being our three man class though it will hurt. Will reserve judgement until the final class is set.
We're you saying the same thing when we recruited Geo, Montez, and Harper. These kids were not national recruits. You, me and every other RU fan have no idea how these recruits will actually pan out. I look at it this way -4 years ago we were horrific - this year we would have gone dancing. It is not only who you get its do they fit the system the coach wants to run, have they shown improvement from Jr to Senior year, are they coachable, do they have good character, will they mesh with current roster. If I am coach these are things I look for in a recruit not just what is there star ranking

Just another personal opinion, but Mag is a very good fit for Pikiell.

I think he has a bright future here. He reminds me of a more skilled Omoruyi.

How so?

Look at Magwot, reiber and The Swede rankings
You are so hung up on rankings. There is so much more to be coming an elite team than just star rankings. Every coach I have heard talk about recruiting - in any sport - states recruiting to their system is first and foremost in with regards to who they target.

Rankings are just that opinions. There are as many guys that are 4 and 5 stars guys that completely washout, as there are 2 and 3 star guys that work their *** off to become 4-5 star-like players. Pike has that natural ability to know who those under recruited or work-hard players are, he's batting over .500 when it come to his recruiting. He's earned that trust from me. If we land Cliff O and get 2 of the 3 incoming freshman to fill the Yeboah role on the team, we will be a top 25 team most of next year. Hopefully, 3/29/20 will be a date of excitement for 2020-21 season.
