Jamal Murray

Jackson averaged 11 ppg last year for UNC and you know coach K is much more willing to give a freshman the ball than roy is.
Also I agree there haven't been many super skinny freshman to take over the college game but there also haven't been too many ranked as a top four player coming out of high school either.
No need for that, It doesn't add anything and makes it look as if you are trying to detract from the focus of the discussion because your credence in your argument is waning.
My credence isn't waning. It's a prediction. Everybody's memory only extends a few months these days. Everyone forgets Duke's previous issues.
The question is when will they update it. I want UK to have the #1 class, officially. It won't happen when RSCI has Murray ranked at #71 in the class...
That is why I said, "Just based on your description."
You did say, "Name me a super-slight forward that took cbb by storm" and Davis would qualify, IMHO.
Based on that comment alone, Davis is a "strong comparison."
I did say, "I am not saying Ingram is Davis?" as a qualifier.
Just talking about skinny forwards that made an impact as a Freshman.
I think Davis did that.
Its July, people that come up with player rankings and class ratings have moved on and are focused on the 2016 class.
It's their big headline in April, when the average fan is paying attention to who their team is going to sign. Right now, it's not a big deal to most fans.
We wouldn't be the number one class anyway. Unless you are referencing a different ranking service. Even if Murray was moved up to top 15 in all of the services, that would still only move us up to 2nd on rsci.
Assuming Murray would move up to the top 15, Charles Matthews is still 50th. Duke's lowest guy is 21st. Based on rankings, that clearly gives them the edge. I agree with others that say I think we have guys who will make a bigger immediate impact, but that's not what this is about.
I'm skinny at 6'2/180. Ingram is 6'8/180
There was a dancer my daughter went to school with who had stick legs like Ingram. It's ridiculous/amazing to think there's a highly regarded athlete with a frame like that. (I should have practiced!) Louie Orr (another skinny forward whom only old timers will recognize) looked like Charles Atlas in comparison.
