A lot of the evaluation of him being really good next year is coming from within the program. Many have said he is the best player on the team this year. I think sometimes different players thrive in different situations. Virginia doesn't really play on offensive system that takes advantage of players talents. He is a versatile player that could be an all Big 12 caliber of player.

Just to add to the analysis of Wednesday's game; I was there, and as always I am impressed with how Self teaches spacing to his players. The Kansas offense was as effective as I have seen from them this season. Their energy level was excellent, as well. And on defense, it was obvious Self wasn't going to let Wigginton and/or Jackson beat them - KU defended the three point line very well.
Mainly an outcome based on one talented team playing up to their capability against a young team still trying to mesh, and find their identity. I was proud of the Cyclones for playing hard right up to the end.

Snapshot impression of Shayok from that tournament game I watched- he looked bigger than he was, and played bigger than he was, but moved like he was smaller. I actually googled him during the game to check his size and position.
Uh, yeah it is. THT is ranked #31 on Rivals. The two Texas recruits are #40 and #48. Come on, man, you need to know where your own recruits are ranked.
Well,
Would you like the opinion of one recruiting service, or 3 combined?
247 composite, "man".
THT is criminally underrated by ESPN which throws the composite off by a LOT. If they would ever reevaluate him he should be better than the Texas kids.
Completely agree.
Was just pointing out that those Texas kids are still top 50 kids and (currently) ranked higher than THT.
THT is actually criminally underrated by 247 and they said he will get a big bump on the next udpate
THIS. With the inclusion of ESPN's ridiculously terrible rankings, the composites are pretty worthless. ESPN makes little effort to update their rankings over time.
I stick with Rivals; they probably put the most time into keeping their lists up to date.
Ok, I don't follow them all very closely, but I knew he was in the 70s for ESPN which is silly.
Is ESPN well respected for any of their recruiting info anymore? I don't think they are good at football either now. Rivals and 247 actually put in some work.
1st Team All-Big 12 like someone said is an overly optimistic expectation. Which is fine because it's reasonable to expect Lindell to be in that ballpark next year. But describing Shayok as a stud is very accurate and he will be a fantastic complementary piece. You'll probably have a difficult time finding an immediately eligible grad transfer this spring I would rather have than Shayok.
The bylaws of Homerism dictate that you should always refer to your own team's recruit by their highest ranking.
