Being a 5 star as a High School sophomore is more of a projection if the players skills reach their potential of size and speed. Depending on the severity of his injuries it can delay his expected development. Part of 5 star status is if the player has day 1 impact potential as a freshman which could be delayed with not playing for a long period. I suspect they are being conservative (3*) on his ranking until he can be re-evaluated.

Exactly, he was a 6'5" 15yr old power forward and now he's a 6'6" 170# 17yr old power forward with at least two injuries and he missed almost an entire year of basketball. The reason he's listed as a 3* is b/c he once was a 5*. He could certainly rise in the rankings once some evaluation of his skill set on the other side of his injuries resume.

Obviously, I was curious which part of Florida?

He looks like a SF to me.....

 

[Hayes30]

So on Rivals he went from a 5-star to an unranked 3-star just because he got hurt? That seems a bit harsh from Rivals and all the recruiting sites.

247 Still has him as a 4* and a top 75 player

247 Still has him as a 4* and a top 75 player

Wigginton = 98.69%

Horton-Tucker = 98.13%

Leech = 97.42%

The next highest of the Prohm era would be Lewis at 92.87%.

The top corner of the card if you don't see it.

We've got 3 scholarships right for 2019? I can't see any downside to taking this kid. I think with how Prohm invests in kids he could really bring this guy along.

 

[CloneLawman]

Can confirm.

Lardesque?

Lardesque?

Oh boy and some.

My thoughts exactly. It is worth a shot.

 

[Knownothing]

I think it's more than worth a shot. Also, Right now we have 3 available but that could easily be 5 schollarships available. With possibly Wigginton going pro and the normal one person transferring. I always assume now that one person will transfer. If this kid get's back to 100 percent. We got a 3 star athlete with 5 star potential. It's like a draft. You take possible upside with at least one kid.

 

[jcyclonee]

Is this a malou like situation?

@cyrocksmypants

 

[JM4CY]

I can confirm I want him in Ames.

247 Still has him as a 4* and a top 75 player

I think he said that because Halsted said he will take a significant drop to a 3* when the next 19 update comes out

 

[rholtgraves]

Looks like there have been different reports on what his injury was and how severe it was. Some say stress fracture, some say compound fracture. Saw he was also kicked off his HS team this year.

That makes sense. There has to be something bigger than a stress fracture causing teams to back off.

Hopefully this is a deal like Jok, where the rankings end up being wrong.
