Popular Post Class of '66 Old Fart Posted June 30, 2021 Popular Post Posted June 30, 2021 Trying something new. Instead of posting the rankings in the individual recruit year threads, I'm posting all of them in one spot. If nothing else, as the ranking sources update, I hope it will be easier to follow the changes in an individual recruit's rank. And a couple of program notes. It's pretty obvious that a number of kids with '22 offers are no longer on the radar and not being pursued but until they're officially off the board I'll track their ranking. The category I captioned Players of Interest are names that have very recently been mentioned and/or are players we know the staff watched at the June events and it certainly doesn't imply those are the only prospects we're following. 2022 OFFERS Avg. 247 Top 150 - 06.30.21 ESPN Top 100 @ 06.30.21 Rivals Top 150 - 06.16.21 Zion Cruz 23 18 31 19 Ernest Udeh 63 22 53 115 Jalen Washington 24 25 21 26 Jalen Hood-Schifino 31 27 34 32 Vincent Iwuchukwu 28 32 22 29 Julian Phillips 29 36 30 21 Kyle Filipowski 36 40 20 48 Tyrell Ward 53 52 62 45 A.

Kenya needs to get to work. 3) Freeman and, particularly, Parks are absolutely top 100 kids. Stromboli 1 Quote

Unranked by ESPN. Queen is a fascinating player. I watch him and think if he grows another couple of inches he could evolve into sort of a DeMarcus Cousins type super skilled below the rim big. But, he plays with the ball in his hands so much and he’s a natural facilitator. Kind of like Krutwig at Loyola, but miles more talented. He’s so much fun to watch. Really looking forward to following him. Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted October 20, 2021 Author Posted October 20, 2021 Senior moment. I overlooked Bryson Tucker '24 who just received an IU offer earlier this month. He's #3 on the Rivals list and wasn't ranked on the ESPN Top 25. Quote
