FWIW Phinisee is ahead of Tyger Campbell in the rivals rankings now.

I find it hard to believe that there are 5 better players than Romeo. That being said I think this is actually a lot more fair than the previous rankings. Jerome is a top 40-50 player and Phinisee should be in the top 100 somewhere. Still unsure about Damezi and Forrester. 

Agreed - I actually think Romeo is probably #1

Agreed - I actually think Romeo is probably #1

RJ Barrett then the debates 2-10 are probably all reasonable.

I'd put RJ Barrett over him and that is it. I really think Romeo will be a top 3 pick in the NBA Draft. I'm sorry but I think Zion is overrated. He will be successful at Duke and I think that is it. He is only 6'6 and really don't see him translating to the NBA.

He better start watching Charles Barkley's game film.

From the "round mound of rebound" to the "round mound of throw-down".

Yeah, Zion Williamson is a load at the college level.  I could see him struggling in the NBA until he finds his niche and learns to shoot.

 

maybe he can become another Corliss Williamson and mimic his namesake.

One thing Zion has going for him is athleticism. It’s off the charts. I think he’ll be fine in the NBA

I do understand that.  he'll at least be fun in NBA2k.

"He had offers from Austin Peay, IUPUI, Siena, Western Michigan, Loyola-Chicago and Toledo, but last week Maryland became the first high-major program to offer."

Maryland's Priller has arrived.

Priller didn't even have that level of offers, did he?  Nothing against Priller of course.

Oof. The second or third best player on his high school team (which has Brandon Newman), and has a "chronic back condition." In this article, his coach states that going into Ramsey's junior year, "I just didn't know if he was tough enough to be a varsity player. That was going to determine how many minutes he got."

Well, you always need a few guys at the end of the bench who are just happy to be there.

Just took a look at the Maryland board. Very post-Priller IU board-ish: a few saying things like "(insert name) wasn't highly recruited and look at how great he turned out!", and more than that saying "Gulp...nauseous feeling...gulp."
