Maybe he knows Bill Pickel.Wonder what school Steve Pickell coaches at ? Does he ever run into Gary Schiano ?
Maybe he knows Bill Pickel.
LC, I remember as a kid trying to watch any game so I could find a Rutgers player and it was pretty much only Deron Cherry and Bill Pickel. Now if we get to 20 in the NFL, it is an off year.
So that's Xavier, Minnesota and Maryland in the past two days. He must be playing well in Champaign
RUChoppin, it has not been a long time since we had twenty in the NFL. I realize some guys may get cut by the opener, but right now, according to scarlet knights.com, we have 26 in the NFL. Some years at the opener, we have been in the high 20’s.I could not tell you how many we have had on opening day for the last ten years or so, but it would be the exception to have dipped under 20. We also have some players currently in the CFL.
I believe these NCAA Academies feature a combination of games as well as skill sessions. I know some coaches who were more interested in seeing the skill sessions than the games.The only question I saw on Twitter this was whether or not the competition at some of the various NCAA run camps, was considered good enough or would these camps attract enough high level players. That doesn't appear to be a deterrent.
I've got questions.Kid is underranked ...probably top 140-160. High 3 star.
Absolutely want him
I'll take a stab at it... Under ranked based on not being ranked on Rivals and being 295 on TOS.I've got questions.
He is under ranked based on what?
140-160 is high three-star? How many prospects are you ranking? 200?
Just because someone is not ranked or ranked 295 doesn't mean they are under ranked. More likely it means that when the rankings were last updated the prospect hadn't performed well enough to be ranked higher. Some kids get better over time and sometimes they get better over a period of three or four months.I'll take a stab at it... Under ranked based on not being ranked on Rivals and being 295 on TOS.
140-160 could be high 3... I mean the 120th player is ranked a 4 star so 20 spots from a 4 should be high 3 range

From the little I've seen he seems a little soft, and just bulking a kid up doesn't necessarily make him tougher. That would be my concern. With limited basketball scholarships I think I would wait for better even if it meant losing him.Just because someone is not ranked or ranked 295 doesn't mean they are under ranked.

For example, between MLK Day and Easter weekend 2014 I watched Tacko Fall go from a kid who couldn't catch a simple entry pass cleanly to a kid who was a legit mid-major prospect.
I'll give you your second point. I personally don't believe we should give four-stars to anyone ranked outside of the top-100.
As for Mitchell, he has had a good July and might get ranked in our next update. He gets pushed around on the glass and struggles to score in traffic or through contact too much for me.
However, I think his upside is pretty good.
There are a couple of schools that have offered him that was not offered him if he was soft. But I do understand where you get the impression that he isFrom the little I've seen he seems a little soft, and just bulking a kid up doesn't necessarily make him tougher. That would be my concern.
