It's tough not to notice, no doubt haha. But ya just gotta be better.

Players like that are so polarizing, though, that it is hard not to exclaim or get excited when you see them in action.
I played at a Chicagoland HS and we had a player in our conference who was just dominant, ended up winning Mr. IL Basketball, going D1 and winning a National Championship (Beat ISU on the way to it, still pisses me off he haunted me in my college fandom also) but I would have my friends and other kids in the school tell me how excited they were to see him play that night. He was amazing, and I don't blame em. Our gyms were packed every time we played him and there was a certain air around the game. I loved it, but then again we weren't getting stomped in the playoffs and my student section wasn't openly chanting his name haha.

Point being, it is hard to not get excited when you see a player like Talen live. Especially when, I'm sure, all the CPS's are seeing all of the local/national twitter he gets every week.

Shout out to Anthony Davis

I'm still wondering how this kid isn't rated higher than he is!! He should move up more after the season in the final rankings, there's no reason he shouldn't.

Nope, gotta be Ryan Boatright

Does anybody have any insight on where THT might end up in the final rankings for 247 or Rivals?

I remember as a freshman watching a rival school here in Iowa that ended up sending 3 players to D1 colleges. While I didn't necessarily cheer for them, they were certainly fun to watch.

247 I'd guess in the upper 30's or lower 40's when they update their rankings. It'll be hard for him to move up on Rivals but you never know

I think he could get higher on Rivals but for some reason 247 and Jerry Meyer don't like him as much. Same last year with Wigginton. Meyer said Wigginton wasn't athletic enough.

Agree. I was thinking top 50 on 247 (which would be 60+ spot jump from where he is now). Man, it feels like they haven't updated their rankings in forever now that I check. I think it's possible he moves up to a 5 star on rivals... Currently only 3 spots away.

Yeah, Rivals and ESPN have him way too low (in the 70's which is ludicrous). Everyone that gets eyes on him thinks he's one of the best players in the country.

Rivals has him at #31

Oops, must have been looking at the wrong one. Does 247 have him up in the 70's? I found two that did.

247 has him 65 composite, 111 in their own rankings

Yup, AD was not up for Mr. Illinois BBall because he went to a private school, IIRC.

So over a month ago they said it was inaccurate but it hasn’t changed.

Yeah, odd that 247 has been slow on their rankings. Gotta be due for an update.

They just did an update yesterday. Still at 111. I don't get it. It has to be going unnoticed if Evan has flat out said that it was inaccurate.

Where did you see they did an update yesterday?

 

[ComCY]

I think he'll break the Top 25 in at least one of the rating systems when all is said and done.

I don't think I've ever seen an ISU recruit since I've been paying attention to recruiting quite like him... he just seems three steps ahead of everyone on the court, and like he knows exactly what to do.
