Boston #4 in final Rivals rankings
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
Love his game and love this year's class with the freshman coming in, as well as the transfers (Pending Sarr eligibility). Should be special if we have a season!!
Crazy to think he is our 1st Rivals top 5 kid since 2015. Duke has had 8 during that time and still hasn't won a title. I don't hear the media talking about how Coach K has failed though.
I look at the composite rankings which are a better source, IMHO.
Boston is #4 there as well. Clarke is #7.
Both should be lottery picks by the end of the season.
Get Sarr eligible and we are good to go.

What has caused Clarke to drop in the rankings? I remember when he first reclassified people were debating if he was the best player in the class.
No more top5's for them now haha. They only have 1 top20 recruit. Seems UNC might have the better class. They seem to have peelefd off a few late and a few of their guys are on the rise.
Suggs should be near 20 range, and I'm not nearly as high on Scottie Barnes as majority of people, but each their own.

Clarke was dropped to 7th with either no basketball being played or next to none........

Why isn’t anyone talking about UK signee, 5 Star Isaiah Jackson 26th player in the country?
Get this: Five of the top eight ranked schools are from the SEC.
I don't recall ever seeing anything remotely close to that before.

He didnt play enough in the public eyes hes kinda of a hidden superstar if that's possible cause we know the guy is star it's like he wasn't seen enough ....how is that even possible? I dont care if the coach tries to hide his team!!
since the last update a few months ago...... no one has played much in the public eye. not enough to change the rankings. most people figured these sites would just keep rankings as they were.
If the players don't actually go to college should they be in the rankings? Get rid of Green so our boys can move up a slot.
Clarke outside the top 5 is vastly underrating him. He will be very special next year.
If there are 6 players better than Clarke I’ll eat all 6 of my Reds hats.
I don't know about you guys, but Clarke at #7 is a joke. Boston definitely deserves to be #4, but from what I have seen, Clarke is better than Boston. Clarke has an insane motor, great handle and some serious dog. Boston appears to be a Kevin Knox type of guy, can shoot, but has a bit of a reserved personality, but I get the feeling Clarke wants to rip your head off and feed it to you.
Can't wait to see those two play in bigtime college games.

Boston is #2 IMO and Clarke #3 In fact I bet the top 3 in nexts year draft are Cunningham Boston and Clarke the 3 best players in HS now.
just a giant middle finger respectively to everyone putting Mobley ahead of Clarke..... 100% just for potential.
is there a game of his online where he dominated? every single one I watched this past season was him getting beat by better players.

They haven’t even made a F4, either.
The 4 best guards in this class BY FAR are Boston, Clarke, Green, and Cunningham and we have TWO on that list suiting up next year.
Just lack of eyes on him and spotlight. Brewster doesn't allow media coverage. They try to maintain scholastic environment before anything.
Can't get the day out of my head last summer that Suggs was basically violated by Cade.
this final list is mostly garbage
they have some players jumping 20 spots and other players falling 20 spots all while there has been no basketball

there had better damn well be a college basketball season. March madness being cancelled was a disgrace. If there's not then we're on bread lines and living in open warfare with each other and sports doesn't much matter quite frankly
Great point. @TNCatfanforever @KyFaninNC, 8 top 5 kids for pUKe after 2015, ZERO titles........ZERO FINAL FOURS !!
Composite rankings:
Boston- 4
Clarke- 7
Askew-27
Jackson- 30
Ware- 36
Fletcher- 60
Boston and Clarke are the only composite 5-stars.
They will be starters, along with Brooks and Sarr.
I think Mintz beats out Askew for the fifth starter spot. His experience will be invaluable to this club.

SEC gonna be tough this coming season. Tennesee has a couple of 5 star shooting guards and they some nice players returning. Auburn should be right there too.
Auburn loses a crap ton of experience, though. I can never trust a full rebuild. Only some coaches can pull that off, and I'm not convinced if Bruce Pearl is one of them
It’s changed since I posted this.
Askew is down to 30. Jackson up to 28. Fletcher up to 59.
Askew has taken a hit here at the end of the season. Was a composite 5-star a few weeks ago. Now a composite 4-star.
Glad we have Mintz, because I think Askew will struggle as a Freshman. Just my opinion. He isn’t a typical super athletic Cal PG.
Clarke is T-Mac with a kill switch. Easy top 5. His body is really strong relative to his weight kinda like Fox was. Clarke is a dawg/warrior type who plays both sides of the ball, and I would take him over Cade any day of the week.
Who with any credibility says Cal’s a failure? You got a few lunatics on this board. You have some scumbag journalists that deliberately stir up the lunatics. Beyond that, anyone with any basketball knowledge and sense knows he’d been a huge success. To do what he has done with essentially children is amazing.
I agree. I think Askew will struggle too but I'm higher on Mintz than most. He's kind of a forgotten man because he didn't play last year but he was a pretty good player two years ago for a top 25 team. And you can't replace his experience. If he doesn't turn the ball over a ton then he's probably better than Hagans.
He looks soft to me, too, and slow as molasses. I think Cal will get him conditioned and stronger. If not, the kid will be abused. Rankings aren't everything.
I agree with this poster, based on that work out vid with Askew at a UPS, Clarke was a monster who even was mean to the cones in a cone drill.
Askew was ranked as the #10 overall recruit in the composite rankings when he signed with Kentucky out of the 2021 class. He dropped from #10 to #18 upon reclassifying and has dropped 12 spots since that time.
Khristian Lander was ranked as the #11 overall recruit in the composite rankings for 2021 and is now #25 in 2020.
Both players had their actual rating drop about half a point just for reclassifying, which I find odd.
Agree on Mintz! Has all that great experience against Villanova, has actually played in NCAA tourney and played well!
