Why do we think this guy is so bad? He’s a 3 star with several power 5 offers.
BREAKING: Georgia PG commits to 2020 recruiting class
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
Diamond in the rough with multiple P5 offers?
Heard this weekend Prohm wanted him badly. Really likes his game
Prohm has put more guards in the nba draft than vast majority of P5 coaches past 5-6 years and you all still question him bc of some rating? Lol.
Halliburton was rated nearly identical to this kid and TH will likely be a first rd draft pick after just 2 years with isu..
This kid screams TH 2.0..
This game of b-ball isn’t always about stars.. it’s the intangibles that can make teams great.

I wonder how many more guards Prohm needs to put into the NBA before people stop the hand-wringing over kids he gets commits from? Here's your checklist for future reference:
Did Prohm watch him in-person?
Did Prohm offer him a scholarship?
If the answer to both is "yes", then we're good.

Yeah, almighty Wake Forest , Mississippi St and Georgia Tech.
I get it. Y'all are fanatics and can't/unwilling to see beyond it.
Prohm has a great strategy right now. It is harder to create a poor mans UK than it is to get solid 4 yr types mixed in with transfers.

Lol I've said multiple different times that a certain recruit will never see the court for meaningful minutes or I don't understand why we took them. I'm not being a homer here, Prohm really likes him
Or we could land a near 5 star kid who has one goal and one goal only and that is to get to nba..oh wait we did.
i don’t get how some don’t trust Prohm eval of pgs..
Are you new to recruiting?
If that’s your definition of diamond in the rough, nearly every P5 program is recruiting this way.
This isn’t being forced to find scraps, this is liking a player that isn’t ranked as high as others, but still with multiple P5 offers.
I assume you and all other fanatics apply this principal when Iowa receives commitments from lowly rated point guards.
The fact that Walker was the first scheduled visit for a PG this year (over some guards with higher ratings) and that ISU was willing to take his commitment in early September says something about where the staff viewed Walker in comparison to, say, Ty Berry or Jayden Stone (both Top 150 guys).
I know there were a few PGs that Prohm had ahead of Walker in this class that have committed elsewhere, but this wasn't a desperate grab of a player at the last minute. This was a player the staff badly wanted.
Comparing a team who can't recruit PGs to a Steve Prohm coached team is incredibly stupid, especially when they're beating out mid majors for their guys
Malone was essentially saying he was bad.
I want 5 5-star guys who all stay 5 years. Got a problem with that?
Anyone being recruited to a P6 school generally has enough talent to play a roll somewhere, it's always going to be a matter of buying in and investing. Some of our recent more highly rated recruits seemingly weren't as invested as guys like Georges, Naz, Haliburton, who were less highly regarded recruits. If this kid, and any other kid Prohm offers, buys in I have no doubt he'll help the team.
I can't believe someone even remotely thought to put Prohm's guard recruiting in the same basket as Fran's.
I take little to no value from your thoughts. You're a fanatical pot stirrer and your reasoning is usually dotted with logical fallacies.
We beat out mid majors for this kid and three low-level P5 programs.
I do hope that his track record of getting point guards into the league is connected to his ability to recruit underrated talent.
Not sure this is the comparison you want to run with...
