Alright. I got upset. I apologize.

The discussion has been pretty civil… no reason to nuke the thread unless it gets out of hand. We are good… let’s get back to “Outside UVa Recruiting”.

Pivoting to ACC talk, I’m quite skeptical on Matthew Cleveland as an impact player. He looks the part athletically, but even with his step forward from 3 last year, his effective field goal% was still pretty bad because he shoots pretty bad from 2, especially for a guy with his length and athleticism. He produces barely any steals and blocks, and the on-off numbers aren’t good when it comes to his defensive impact. I guess the optimistic case is that 1) he was a highly ranked recruit, so he might take a big step forward developmentally and 2) FSU is bad and he will be walking into a better offensive environment. However, he’s also a part of why FSU was bad, and having two bleh seasons in a row makes me think he’s not as good as his recruit ratings suggests.

He was a 5-star recruit out of HS that couldn’t shoot… I’m not sure he would be considered a 5-star anymore…

I was pretty unimpressed by both he and Warley for FSU last year. I thought they’d make a big frosh–>soph leap and by and large, they didn’t.

Also, as portal season dies down and normal offseason banter starts to divert again from recruiting banter, don’t forget about this thread:
(ha ha, also realize that Huggy was at the top of that one, too). @jazznutUVA Can I get an OCD merit badge for this act?

I recall UNC thinking they had a chance but I guess that never materialized. I guess he is serious about NBA development …

It’d be fun if he went to Indiana.

I had no idea Rodman had a son who played. And now he’s teaming up with Bronny. Incredible.

Neither did…I.
I had seen the name in the portal, and wondered. but I was too lazy to pursue it further.
His son is legit good, right? Not just coach’s son good?

He’s at least a A-10 level recruit. But dig into the video for yourself.
