Obviously player development matters. Juwan Morgan was ranked in the low 100s and ended up being one of IU's better players. But most--not all by any means--wind up having roughly the kind of impact other players similarly ranked have. It is not inaccurate to say the odds are Duncomb will have the kind of impact other players similarly ranked will have. He's top 100 and that's solid. If Duncomb wasn't a top 100 player, IU would probably not have recruited him.

Baumgart is saying we are out on Kaufman, but IU just got a crystal ball prediction for Kaufman from Chad Lykins...

If anything this helps with Kaufman.

Baumgart is dead up wrong on this.

Kind of premature to predict what kind of player we are getting on ranking alone. Development is everything. There is no guarentee of ceiling.

No, you're wrong, Durham has definitely reached his. How do I know this you ask?

 I'm psychic like that.

He’s 106 in the 247composite. Juwan was a 4 and played like one. Duncomb is a 5. I think we would be lucky if he can average 5 points, 5 boards and a 1-2 blocks for his career.

Serious questions. Are you positive about anything? Why do you always come off as your opinions are the only right ones?

I think the kid is 16 right now. For all we know he could grow to 7 ft.

True that he’s only 16, and while 7’0” is a pipe-dream, I’ve read that he’s still growing.

"We would be lucky" if a top 100ish center averages 5 points and 5 boards over his career?  Get bent.

He’s a composite 106 but he’s 80th in 247 and like 130th or something in rivals. So their is certainly disagreement about how good he is.  

I wouldn't say 80 and 130 are that different, especially for a Junior.  I also know think Rivals tends to be a little behind in their ratings traditionally....they didn't have him in their top 150 until last fall and I think they tend to kind of just move players up and down gradually instead of all at once.
