Not saying it's a knock, but you are clearly undervaluing him. You are talking about a team that didn't even make the big dance. We aren't Kansas filled with 5 star talents. On paper, he is hands down our most talented player, as he was rated one of the top 24 players in the country coming out this year. Kegler and Malik underachieved based on our expectations, but both averaged over 10 points a game their freshmen years. We had 3 people do that this year. I'm not looking up numbers or anything, but I would guess that Mcdonald's All-Americans start 90+% of the time their freshman year. So for us to assume he will be a big piece of our puzzle next year is just logical.
History tells me to undervalue the 5* Southern basketball player. Nick Spoon and Devin Booker are about the only two in the last five years that haven't been evaluated incorrectly from the recruiting services. I hope Perry is the 3rd one to be rated correctly. I need to watch some of his games.
Sexton, Duval, Knox, Carter, Vanderbilt, Washington. Just 6 of the top 20 players last year all from the south who lived up to expectations.
Harry Giles, De'Aaron Fox, Jayson Tatum, Malik Monk, Bam Adebayo, just to name a few from the year before.
You are just really reaching at this point.
I haven't changed arguments. The Southern basketball player has been proven to be overrated. Congratulations on finding some from the last two classes that weren't. I am skeptical of all 5* players till I see them on the court in maroon & white. We don't have to go farther than our own history to know that to be true. You don't have to google top 100 players to try to counter the argument. You have deemed a high school player good enough to start right away. I want him to prove it first. Argument hasn't changed one bit.
