Chatter's comments:
As usual, Clark Francis has Louisville's recruits a bit overrated.....he's such a homer. I haven't seen their recruits rated as highly as he has them, on other recruiting services. As for Memphis, if you haven't heard, Kendrick Perkins is putting up MONSTER STATS and is almost guaranteed to go pro out of high school.......I've read that by most services......he appears to be as advertised, so Memphis will have one good recruit so far in Sean Banks. UC's doesn't count James White because he's a transfer.....so there's is really even better. If they get an Alexander or Watkins.....they surely move to #1. I think DePaul's class is better than he has hit rated. I know Mejia, Smith, and Wesley Green are all suppose to be pretty good players that were highly recruited. UAB got the highly rated Taylor brothers....which was a steal. Charlotte has Iti, and I haven't read much about him so far since B-ball season started......he was rumored to be wanting to go pro straight out of prep school......but no flashy news about him makes me think he's been ordinary so far.....so I'm sure he goes to Charlotte for atleast a year.....but we all know what freshmen do. I've read several good stories about Dameon Mason, Marquette's prize recruit......he's been lighting it up so far in high school. If you look at the average talent rating per school.....you can see that after UC, Louisville, and Memphis, only UAB and Charlotte are really getting some quality players. Geez, I've never heard of any of Houston's recruits....all from Texas.
