jasper johnson ??

[electricat2]

i dont keep up with it like i used to but i know alot of you do.
my question is.. why has he dropped into the 30s in alot of rankings?
every time ive seen him against high comp he is every bit as good as anyone.
seems odd.
but it dont matter i am stoked to get him to uk. just curious

Who cares. We've had plenty of top 5 guys end up being shite and plenty sub 20 being awesome. If Pope thinks he can use him to win games then we've gotta trust the guy until he proves he can't win with his recruits.

I didn’t know he did, strange. 18 on Rivals but Acaden Lewis jumped to 20th.

I hadn’t noticed that the rankings had came out. What service has him in the 30’s?

Dang. Dude asked a question. If you don't know, no reason to be a jerk.

 

[Lempface]

24/7 still has him 18 fwiw.

Not being a jerk, but if you haven't figured out recruiting class rankings don't equal wins after watching UK the past 10 years then you're not keeping up.

I still think Jasper is on level of tyty and Cason Wallace, and a starter level player in sec

I know they don't, but the op just wanted to know why he fell in rankings. Was he hurt, ineffective, or just the Kentucky effect?

Kentucky effect

Also remember bronny james ranked higher than dilly in some rankings

 

[bucsrule8872]

I could be wrong, but I feel like the “recruiting gurus” just don’t know what to do with these guys playing for Overtime Elite.

Remember Dillingham was somewhat underrated as well.

Ote can not measure anything actually

Rob was inefficient in ote, 3pt shooting was poor and finally was highly effective scorer in UK

oh me too i love jasper. i just thought it was odd. and he may not have slipped in all of them like i said i dont keep up with it much anymore

 

[Lempface]

I get your point, I wasn't thinking about it from that perspective. 👍🏻

 

[electricat2]

i went back and pulled up rankings. he is listed anywhere between 17 and 25.
but i swear i seen him listed at 33 the other day. might have been on a podcast or something.

still to low imo

Well said. That’sa great type of player to have on the team if you don’t have to rely fully on them, which doesn’t seem to be Pope’s MO.

Is that really true?

 

[BlueInBrooklyn]

I’d take SGA and Herro over BJ Boston and Quade.

Sometimes being slighted gets em a little angry.

 

[chasingwildcat]

Is that really true?

Yes, bronny ranked higher than dilly in some final rankings

well bronny is a nba player...........before anyone jumps on me that is sarcasm

evidently you do, you commented on it

I don't get the assholes in here

 

[3Eye]

Johnson fits what Coach Pope wants. Rankings among top high school players are a crap shoot. When they move up to college competition, that’s when the rankings pan out or not.

 

[Fancatstik]

I've heard he's never met a shot he doesn't like

 

[FatestCat]

Not being a jerk, but if you haven't figured out recruiting class rankings don't equal wins after watching UK the past 10 years then you're not keeping up.

Just because you say you aren’t being a jerk doesn’t mean you weren’t. He asked a simple question and you went on a rant that had nothing to do with it. Non-biased ruling…. You were being a jerk.

And the Strawberry Shortcake pigtails need to go.

1.) Not every recruiting class is created equal.
2.) It also depends as to where they are ranked.
3.) It also depends who is coaching them.
4.) With NIL, it's more likely that those top tier guys will stay.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

As long as he makes them.

 

[Zissou87]

If the guy can hoop, who cares. Those players don't share the same culture nor are they from the same generation as a large portion of the fanbase, myself included.
