Skal Labissiere factoid

He is Calipari's first recruit to ever be ranked #1 in both Rivals, as well as Scout in the final rankings.
Davis was not, Wall was not, Noel was not, so on and so forth.
I get more excited by the day to get this kid on the court. Credit Ben Roberts for making this known.

 

[Pope John Wall II]

Who was ranked ahead of Davis again? Austin Rivers?

Yeah. That was hilarious.

 

[Mozes-Prince22]

And Avery Bradley was ranked above Wall in ESPN's rankings. How stupid was that

 

[Nubb16]

Yeah I laughed over rivers being number one then and even harder now

What was severely idiotic about that was the way that ESPN kept referring to Wall's #5 ranking all through his year at UK, long after it became obvious he was going to be a 1st team AA and challenge for POY. However, it wasn't just Bradley that was rated ahead of Wall. Derrick Favors was the consensus #1 that year, and it was really only Rivals that had Wall at #1.

This isn't a great class. So it's really nice to have the #1 player! He may be the only legit superstar in this class, though there will be others drafted next year. .

Rivers over Davis is hilarious.

How'd that Turn out ESPN?

I would probably add Ben Simmons to that. He is also very good.

Ben Simmons will definitely be a superstar in college.
