Not doing this no more don’t Villanova lead for him, I feel we wait to long to offer guys. And by the time we do it’s an uphill to climb.

What I would do is take the average of the other rankings, but tell everybody it’s a special algorithm.

Which would still be accurate. I mean, it’s not VERY special but it’s special to you.

Would actually be pretty funny if they weighted their average so you ignore ESPN rankings and give more to your own

Always divide by 2 at the end

Why not just use a dart board and say it is a highly proprietary algorithm? #1 ranked recruit is consensus 50 - 100 everywhere else? Who cares… let the internet blogging commence!

True. None of the services have either the skill or resources to accurately evaluate all the high school/prep basketball players in the country. They may get the top 15 to 25 right, but whether they are ordered correctly is a big question. And, if I am not mistaken, things are not getting better. It seems to me that personnel cuts at places like ESPN are only making matters worse. In the end, rankings are just “click” bait. Marginally meaningless. That said, I like to view them if for no other reason than I am a curious sort of guy.

While there has been some discussions about Bliss potentially moving into the 2023 class, that’s not on his mind right now it seems.

“There has definitely been talk about it but right now I really don’t have an answer for that because I am just focused on EYBL and helping my team win but there definitely has been talk about it and I don’t really have a stance on that right now,” he said.

Is he planning on taking an Official here? Article mentions Miami and Xavier coming up.

With the caveat that we’d be happy to have either, how do our resident AAU-watchers feel about Jase vs Bliss?

You’d think Michigan state would be hard to beat here but they do have a top 30 PG in 2023 class (Jeremy fears). It sounds like they’re trying to sell Jase on being a combo guard.

“They have such a great history of sending guys to the (NBA) and making deep runs in the tournament. Talking to the coaches there, like Coach (Jason) Williford I fell like they can see me at their program because I’m a two-way player.”

Reece but maybe more comfortable looking 3pt form. No idea on percentage or if his assist rate is anywhere near Reece’s though. But the way he moves is very Reece like.

Was a 5 star before the femur surgery and recovery took him out for the last year+
