THAT IS FREAKING NUTS!!! I knew Webber, Juwan Howard and Jalen Rose were highly ranked. HAD NO IDEA the others were. That is CRAZY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, for all five averaged together, Duke's class was better, but the top 4 would go to Michigan's class. Kinda semantics when the rankings are like that, though! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at this list, I'm curious where that would stack up against the best classes of the last 10 years. https://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2019/7/31/20699622/college-basketball-recruiting-rankings-decade-duke-kentucky-virginia @McLoofus Best way to get that type of reference, at least on paper, is to do the class calculator & compare it to the last 10 classes on the composite (Sub Cade Cunningham for Kuminga for point value purposes & Thor instead of Sanogo) on the composite. It would be 3rd (71.03), just a whisker behind Duke's 2018 class (71.06) & UK's 2013 class (71.08). That being said I wish we wouldn't talk openly about stuff like that before we land our big targets. We've had enough jinxes & bad juju this season. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This class will not ever be topped imo. They had 4 of the top 15 players. They had the top 2 players in the country in RJ and Cam Reddish. When Zion ranking wise is your THIRD most highly rated in your class?!?! Yah you got a absolutely STACKED class. https://247sports.com/college/duke/Season/2018-Basketball/Commits/ Lol. UK's 2013 class was slightly better on paper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cross referenced the fab 5 using their rankings to current players using class calculator & their class would be 70.98 (3rd the past decade). The reason they weren't higher was because the article I saw had Ray Jackson 84th overall. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was the best when you combined the football and bball crutin knowledge. But he's probably making a lot more money now so great for him and I am happy he's doing well!!!!

AuburnArch13 185 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 All this chatter and hype (looking squarely at you for the hype, @GwillMac6) is getting me too got-danged excited about all this. I generally fancy myself a fairly sanguine guy, but I’m afraid I’m gonna be heartbroken if none of this ends up panning out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @DonDraper They’re VIP. Nothing you can read without a sub. And no go was a play on words based on his last name. It means AU’s odds are long to land him. And yes I know he’s doing virtual visits with AU. He may very well be behind JT Thor & Dylan Caldwell. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
