What's new

Following Potential 2025 Draftees

NIL is good for the players and for the programs with a lot of money. But I really hate how everyone is a hired mercenary on a 1 year contract. It's just weird. And now NCAA basketball programs are signing legit pro players from overseas. Everyone has infinite eligibility.
Ya I hate what NIL has done to college sports and Im a BYU fan (a program that seems to be benefiting from NIL)
 
I've watched a bit more Rilely given Locke's affinity for him.

I can see why someone would get excited about him. He is a pretty good creator for a guy his size. He looks extremely raw physically and has that extreme acne that reinforces how young he is. He might not have great length for his height, but you wont find many better ball-handlers at 6'8 barefoot than Will Rilely.
 
Watched some more VJ... Urgh... He makes me uneasy. Not gonna lie. He looks so robotic with pretty much everything he does. Not much looks smooth or natural on offense. Not he shot, not the handle... I have the sneaky feeling he will end up outside my top 5 at the end. He's like... the anti-Tre... And I can't believe it but I think I'm leaning Tre at this point.
The no ceilings guys pointed out his finishing around the rim is really bad. Like 30th something percentile. Also didn’t really out perform Tre in athletic testing. And while taller than expected, his wingspan wasn’t as long as expected.
 
I’m also into the idea of allowing one transfer that doesn’t force you to sit out a year, but just one.
Maybe you dont have to sit out a year if your coach who recruited you were to leave

Updated my big board with Pettiford out.
 
Superstar tier: Flagg
Hopeful star tier: Harper
Hopefully high end role player tier: Tre, Fears, Kon, Ace
Decent chance to be a good role player: Maluach, Coward, Bryant, Fleming
Can be a star if they learn how to shoot, but they probably won't learn how to shoot tier: CMB, Thiero, Queen
Boring but could be an OK role player if things go right tier: Noa, Newell, Beringer, Jase Richardson, Jaku, Sorber
Ehhh tier: Traore, Drake
Not a fan tier: Will Riley, Egor, Broome
This guy isn't a real prospect tier: Yang
Need to watch more: The rest of these guys

What do people think of Bogoljub Markovic.
 
That Yaxel Lendeborg decision is a bit of a head-scratcher. I thought there would be NBA teams interested in snagging him with a 20-30 pick. Yes, he's 22, but the dude is physical with tons of talent.

No one promising Miles Byrd is the first is weirder to me, he's soooo good other than his shooting (which, I know, he's not a real NBA player without shooting 37%+ from three)
