Looks like from 24/7 Sports. I think we only have three freshman recruits coming in next year. Should be some excellent competition which will only make the team better.
Is this based on the national ranking of each player or the ranking within their respective state? If so, then it would indicate UH would rank #1 or #2 in the country with only our freshman class; otherwise, how could any team recruit 4 players within the Top 11 without being ranked #1 or #2 in the country?
This is an all-time national rating ranking for UH only HS commits in the modern era. So, by way of example, while Quentin Grimes would have ranked #1 on the UH list, he ranked #10 on the Kansas list.
This is because while Quentin ranked as the #10 player in his HS class, Kansas has had nine other players that ranked higher than him - two #1s, a #3, a #4, two #5s, a #6, a #7 and a #8. Blue blood recruiting is at a whole other level.
Loved Chicken but figured he was a tad overrated when I saw a 6-3 center from Brazosport push him around in a tourney.not really sure why he was rated so high
To be fair he weighed 115 pounds soaking wet. I’m not a big dude and i remember shaking hands with him his soph year (his first year playing) and thought i might take his arm off.
Chicken never quit on us. Danrad holds a special place in my heart for that.
And while we’re on the subject even when joe young was on the team i was always pissed at him. He’d hit a 3 from 30 ft and then give up back to back layups or something like that all the time. He would NOT play D. So annoying. Thomas was the best all-around player from that time.
The not playing defense probably doomed young and knowles. I don’t know, but I bet that Dickey let them do whatever they wanted to. Sampson came in and probably had them run sprints and they bailed for OU, ATM and Oregon.
If Joe had still been here for sure, though he left the season before Sampson got here. If House and Thomas had stuck around with one offseason for Sampson to instill his culture I think we probably would have been a solid NIT team rather than a tourney team.
