Agreed definitely Phil and then Cliff would be next highest
Phil Sellers was before my time. I was a baby back then.
Mike Rosario was a heck of player and McDonalds AA. Unfortunately FHJ was the coach, but he could recruit.
Ah Gotcha ... yeah I was just going off the top of my head. I just remember St Anthony's was #1 in the country when he was there. It's too bad it didnt work out for him at RU.Now I'm googling... Rosario was 55 LOL
Phil Sellers is the highest all-time... was widely considered among the top 5 players in the country his senior year in high school.
It really was.Ah Gotcha ... yeah I was just going off the top of my head. I just remember St Anthony's was #1 in the country when he was there. It's too bad it didnt work out for him at RU.
This is true, but if you go based off the Rivals rankings era it is Gregory Echenique - No. 50.
I never realized Kadeem Jack was that highly ranked. Great player for us.Kadeem Jack was ranked 33rd before he reclassified.
Too young to remember Sellers but by all accounts he was the highest rated RU recruit of all time. Can’t get much higher than Top 5.
GO RU
Never saw but let me know if you recommend. God knows we have time on our hands.What was the name of the fictitious basketball player in "Cookout" who was the #1 pick of the NBA?
MO
What was Dahntay Jones ranked?
Todd Billet was rated at # 25 in the country by one publication and Kentucky was really after him. Clarence Tillman who went to Kentucky and transferred to RU was out of Philly and was ranked in the Top 15 in the country by Street & Smith. Lloyd Moore who I think transferred to RU from Marquette was ranked in the Top 20 of the nation by Street & Smith's.
Cason was #1 rated high school player in the country his junior year. Senior year didn’t compare. Accepted scholarship to Long Beach with Jerry tarkanian. Didn’t qualify and wound up at San jacinto junior collage before making his way to RU. Was never the same player he was junior year in high school.Les Cason may have been number one flop. There was also Tillie from Philly. Cason was a Vitale recruit while Tillman was a Young recruit. Sellers was also a Vitale recruit. At times and in some publications Cason was they number one kid in the nation. If you have a Street and Smith from way back you can check it out.
Playing time shouldn't be a problem for a number 1 rated recruit regardless of the school he chooses.I know we probably don't have enough playing time for him, but this kid who's a Jr at the Patrick school is one hell of a player.... Jonathan Kuminga. . He's the #1 recruit in the country for 2021. I don't see that he has any interest in RU though. Probably going to a blue chip school with a bag man involved to either parents/handler/AAU coach. who knows. Hopefully we can get to the final 4 next year and some of these top 20 recruits give us a long hard look going forward! A guy can dream right? !!!!
For the older guys how high was Mike Dabney ranked? He was all-state is all I know.

Who was the S&C coach in the Lloyd Moore time frame?Tillman could really shoot and was strong but lacked any quickness. I loved Lloyd Moore. He was huge and had a soft touch and many jokingly called him Load Moore because he was so incredibly out of shape.
I just remembered Wally Judge! Transferred from Kansas State to RU.
I had to look up his ranking he was the #18 in the country when he went to KState. He had all the physical tangibles... just didnt seem to have that mean streak that you really need at this level.
Dave - I think you even wrote that Judge would be the highest ranked player ever to play for RU ! No offense to Phil Sellers because it seems like if there were national rankings back then, Mr Sellers probably would have been our highest ranked.
