A Top 100 player coming out of high school sounds good. Is this someone of interest to RU?

After playing two years for a major conference team, I think we're past the point where high school stars and rankings are very useful indicators.

This season, he averaged 15.4 min/g with 6.2 pts (.371 FG%, .327 3P%), 1.8 rb, 1.4 ast, and 1.3 tov.
In conference play, he averaged 12.6 min/g with 4.5 pts (.333 FG%, .179 3P%), 1.6 rb, 1.2 ast, and 1.3 tov.

Why go back to HS predictions when there's a two full seasons of actual college results to look at?
I thought you meant hs rankings in general aren’t useful cause they got this kid so wrong. Hand up, my bad. For this specific kid they aren’t very useful.

Rutgers has enough guards.What they need is a power forward like the Syracuse transfer Keith Hughes who could score and rebound.

Keith Hughes is the prototype 4 against whom all are measured for me.

Add him to the current roster and we’d definitely be top 3 team in the conference and top 15 in country.

No, I just mean that High School stars and rankings no longer mean very much after a player has had time to show what he can do at the college level.

Only thing held Keith back was he didn’t have a mean streak. I went to the same HS as Keith and watched him from high school thru college. In high school when he played against Piscataway, they had twin brothers on that team. Something set him off and he went ballistic and dominated. If he played that way consistently he would have been even better.
