Some how he fits into the Duke profile of being a prolific scorer.

I appreciate info that we get about recruits but does Ranney have any players that we even have a 1% chance of landing? Lewis and Antoine are pipe dreams.

You're welcome. If Antoine is listening to the RU pitch, which he is, RU should just keep recruiting him until he stops replying to RU calls, texts, facetime requests etc.

Also, you can't just focus on who they have now. That program will continue to attract talent going forward. You want to already have a relationship there imo.

Hey @Russ Wood who's gonna be better, Antoine or Lewis??

Wow, that is a great question.

If I knew the correct answer I could probably become really rich LOL

I really don't know the answer to your question, but I think that Lewis's ceiling may be higher than Antoine's.

When I saw them this time last year I liked them equally. This week Antoine was amazing at scoring the basketball and he was pretty good at rebounding too.

Lewis didn't score as much this week, but part of that had to do with him dislocating a finger in their first game in the City of Palms Classic. Lewis is an amazing leader. He saved one of his teammates from a technical foul today.

The official was seconds away from teeing up one of the Ranney kids who had just committed a foul and Lewis stepped in and said, to his teammate, "Hold up." Then he looked at the official and said "Mr. Ref I got this." Lewis then walked over to his teammate calmed him down and helped the kid refocus.

Also, Lewis facilitated at an elite level Saturday. The game changed when he fouled out.
