Boston is first top 5 recruit since Skal in 2015
Boston/Clarke first duo in top 10 since Fox/Bam

 

[harrison11]

Fletcher's drop makes zero sense to me.He actually really improved his 3 point shot.

 

[jwhite123]

Cue the conspiracy folks complaining about our guys falling. Not gonna lie that may be warranted here. Show me 8 guys better than Clarke because I just don’t see that

 

[RunninRichie]

ok

I thought Ware had a great game against Mobley and really improved, I don't see how it's possible he would drop since I assume this is based on these kids high school seasons.

 

[ThunderMash]

I find it strange that Puke has four 5-stars (of course two of them are barely hanging on as 5-stars) and two 4-stars, none of which are ranked lower than Fletcher, yet they have they #3 overall class.

As for UK, I guess having two top 10 guys, yet the rest are 4-stars, is enough to be #1. I'll take it.

Edit: Did I read the rankings right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[FFWhite]

Don't understand the Wate drop. He had a very good season.

 

[Sparkaces1]

Just a general observation about these final rankings is that because there was no all star circuit these rankings are basically strictly on high school seasons and not the McDonalds game, etc. I have a feeling Clarke would have thrived in those games!

 

[KentuckyCat420]

None of it makes sense, none of them have played basketball since the last updates.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

That’s straight GARBAGE. That’s fine, I bet Clarke comes in with a chip on his shoulder next year. The Clarke, Fletcher and Ware drops are very puzzling.

 

[GonzoCat90]

I suppose admitting that their job is useless as is, but particularly when there are no state tournaments, all star circuit or AAU is a bad business model.

so here are some dramatic ranking changes for players at one of the three schools whose fans click on these lists!

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Lot of our guys are dropping unexpectedly, and going against everything we've heard. I'll await RSCI's composite rankings.

 

[Lil Spears]

These ranking are silly. Like all of us, these experts have not seen any sports or these guys play since early on. Not sure what they based the rankings on. Nothing to go by but the past efforts. Sure some have improved, cant see any getting worse.

 

[YaySports]

Am i the only person who thinks outside of Boston, every single one of our guys is under ranked?

Yeah, I think it was pretty clear during the high school season that Boston had improved and was dominating against top competition. From reports it appeared Ware had improved as well. I have no idea about Clarke and Fletcher, but I find it hard to believe that there was enough video from high school games to justify big moves for those guys one way or another!

Clarke at #9 is truly laughable. It’s exposing the way they do these rankings. Based off pub and eyes!!!!

 

[JwUKFan11]

Let’s complain now about how they aren’t ranked high enough and then when they get here we can complain about how they were ranked way too high because they can’t even dribble. Or whatever mistake it is they make. Rinse and repeat.

Preach

 

[YardCat]

Where's Memphis and All da Smoke in recruiting this year?

 

[Sparkaces1]

Preach

I understand what you are saying but in regard to Whitney I don't have any clue why he was ranked as high as he was and I was talking about that as soon as I saw him play on the all star circuit. Dude straight up missed a free throw left backboard only (hard) in the Jordan game!

 

[Padsfs07]

It's funny how Anselem is dropping so fast. 85 to 114 to 121 in the composite rankings.

 

[Padsfs07]

Composite rankings with updated 247:

Boston - 4, Clarke - 7, Askew - 26, Jackson - 29, Ware - 35, Fletcher - 56

Seem more accurate to me.

 

[Deli owl]

What happened to Jackson’s huge jump he was supposed to get?

 

[jrpross]

Cue the conspiracy folks complaining about our guys falling. Not gonna lie that may be warranted here. Show me 8 guys better than Clarke because I just don’t see that

I don’t know as much about the other guys that dropped but I’m fairly certain the problem with Clarke is simply that his school does very little to hype him. There are like zero videos of him and nobody really knows what his senior year has been like, but that kid is legit.

 

[UKfan215]

What happened to Jackson’s huge jump he was supposed to get?

I think he was supposed to make the big jump on Rivals.

#126, one 3 star recruit in their class currently.

so here are some dramatic ranking changes for players at one of the three schools whose fans click on these lists!

and that agenda spins a positive narrative for cal and uk’s ability to develop players from top 50 out of high school to top 30 in the nba draft in less than one year. not a bad narrative to have in a one and done era if you prefer talent.

That is the very reason I am not as sold on Clarke as Boston- I have seen Boston play and Clarke I have not. Don't have a clue about him other than what people write.

Boston on the other hand...wow

they are both long and have good handles for their length. i’d say clarke’s is tighter. boston is obviously the better perimeter scorer. the overall scoring from clarke and where on the floor he’ll like to get it is what i’m excited about seeing develop. i’m guessing clearouts like rj barrett, but i think clarke knows how to score in other ways more, less like a forward who needs room and more like a guard who maneuvers tight spaces. if he’s getting points like this it will be a very interesting dynamic versus boston who you just kind of give it to him on the wing and have to respect his jumper. if the season is cancelled it would be truly tragic.

 

[kyups01]

If I recall correctly this is the second drop for Clarke in final rankings. Bizare to me seeings how Jerry Meyer said he was right there for the best guard prospect hes ever scouted and another analyst (cant remember the name but I posted here at one point) said that he would put Clarke only behind emoni bates in his rankings of best overall recruits regardless of class.

Those rankings are pretty fair overall. The only one I truly oppose is Clarke. There are not 8 better players in the class than him. He should be in the Top 5 along with Boston, kid is a stud.

You only get one shot to prove you're real. All the hype, it amounts to nothing if you don' produce - and I suspect once lost, it's hard to get back. You come in talking a bunch, you better deliver, else kids will go to the next hot thing, or back to the last one. One more piece of evidence that Cal's "this draft is the biggest day in UK history", though wildly overstated, was said with a particular point in mind.

 

[wildcatbd21]

I'll take it. Drop all of our players if they want. They can play next season with a chip on their shoulders. Take this class, add Brooks and Allen from last years team (though Allen didn't play, he learned), and the transfer in of Mintz and Sarr. This will be a very good team.
I actually though Fletcher improved tremendously last season. Shocking he dropped at all. Let alone that much. Just fuel to his fire.

Well, Whitney couldn’t dribble tho.

 

[JwUKFan11]

Correct. But can you imagine how mad our fans would have been if they dropped his ranking this time last year?

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Exactly what I think as well. Just look at the jumps that Boston has made compared to the drops for Clarke. Then look at their respective high school teams and the exposure of said teams. There’s a drastic difference there -huge gap.

I look for Clarke to flat out blow up here next season. He’s a stud. Top 5 in any class IMO. Same for Boston.

 

[ksharpless]

Ask me about these exactly a year from now.

 

[shaudyshaud]

Correct. But can you imagine how mad our fans would have been if they dropped his ranking this time last year?

Yup. Honestly unless you’re evaluating all of these High School kids I don’t know how folks can be that outraged about the rankings in some cases.

That’s why I’m fine with the rankings . Up to the guys to prove them wrong at the end of the day .
