Tamin Lipsey recruiting thread

[Aclone]

There was reduced evaluation by the recruiting services this past spring/summer but those same services also increased the recruiting stock of Tyrese Hunter while decreasing Lipsey's. I agree Lipsey's career arc could end up resembling Jok's and there will be plenty of opportunity for Lipsey to increase his stock during the upcoming HS season and next spring/summer on the AAU circuit.

People keep saying “spring/summer”, but there were no events in the spring, and only a relative handful in the late summer.

Of which Lipsey attended a relative handful compared to Tyrese Hunter because of his commitment to football.

comparing apples and oranges.

Not really. The updated rankings were released prior to any BB events that Lipsey would have missed for football. I do stand corrected on my previous reference to spring events.

He's still #27 PG and #166 overall y'all act like he dropped to the 300's

Man, the kid's elbows have just gotten really pointy, you know?

This thread has me laughing, I’m willing to bet he is in the top 100, probably even higher when it’s all said and done. There so much time left. He’s already proven he’s fully recovered.

This is a screen shot of one of our current freshmen. The first ranking is his first evaluation and then he got injured. Not apples to apples but...for those that get caught up in rankings this guys would be loved and hated by the same person.

He went into July ranked 166 and is now ranked 166

Jaden Walker is going to be a stud.

People talk about his size development slowing have it wrong. Kid has the Gretzky factor for BB movement figured out.

Is this Blackwell?

Not sure the Jok comparison is too relevant. Jok slipped because he never got his athleticism back, certainly not while he was in HS, if he ever really did.

Lipsey is fully back athletically. The only reasons he might stay a little lower are concern for reinjury and possibly earlier rankings baked in some additional height being added.

I really like this kids game. Legit blow-by quickness.

My youngest is a HS senior, he tore his ACL at age 9. Surgeon here in Des Moines wanted to use a cadaver ACL. It had a 55% chance of rupture.

Ended up going with Wolf in Iowa City. He wound two hamstrings from his calf. After a year the chance of rupture was no more than someone with a healthy ACL. He's probably grown about a foot over the past 8 years.

Just saying reinjurying isn't exactly a high risk today.

Holy **** tearing an acl at 9.

 

[Cyforce]

Holy **** tearing an acl at 9.

Yeah, took a helmet to the side of the knee, meniscus damage as well. Wolf said he was his youngest ACL surgery.

Wow, that's crazy. I can't even imagine.

Felt terrible to hear of a great athlete and kid like Tamin go through a major injury but it might act in ISU's favor as far as recruiting. He is/was very interested in schools like Michigan and UNC recruiting him. He's still got time to raise his stock but I'm not sure he's going to be that level of recruit now. Which likely makes it a battle between ISU and Nebraska.

He's still priority #1 in 2022 imo and would be a major get. Great athlete, great leader. A young backcourt pairing of him and Tyrese Hunter would be tough.

I think he ends up with 10 plus power five offers.

I agree - I think it's pretty low risk. My daughter did rehab with the same group that Lipsey trains with. Hers was a totally different type of injury, but in no time she was not just recovered but got way stronger than I would've guessed was possible.

I think Lipsey is going to end up with more good offers. He might not end up with the elite length and athleticism that the blue bloods need, but somebody is going to end up with a good PG, and I hope it is ISU.

If he plays a full summer schedule next year, against top competition, he should skyrocket.

And I hope very much he stays home.
