You got the BPG? Curious to see if Williams is solid defensively or not. Curious to see Ado's too.
Certain posters are wanting RB to succeed so bad, they're are overlooking the same things we blasted DT and Cuonzo for - weak recruiting .
Or maybe his ranking is deserved. From Charlotte, but No ACC offers is a little concerning. His offer list says pass......IMO
Obviously it's not the only indication, but it does usually say a good deal about the player's athleticism and motor defensively, no? Unless you're just a behemoth blocking lesser competition. At 6'7, 230 lbs and playing ball in high school, he's not really undersized is he? Being that big it's more than likely he can overpower guys who weigh less; that won't happen in the SEC. All I'm getting at is, if he's a poor man Stokes and can't really block shots (idk if he can or not, which is why I was wondering his BPG), what will Williams bring to the table? Curious to see what VQ has said on Williams.Shot blocking isn't the only defensive stat to prove whether someone is solid defensively...as an undersized big you'd have to assume Williams isn't gonna be a shot blocker, same as Stokes and Maymon. At nearly 7' playing against other high schoolers you would naturally expect Ado to be an impressive shot blocker, at least IMO.

This kid is closer to 6'5" than 6'7". That is why he does not have many offers. He is more like Moore than Stokes. He does not have Moore's hops or quickness but he is a gamer.
Even though they can't give athletic scholarships, they usually put together "academic stipends" for athletes which are not athletic scholarships in name but might as well be
I would definitely like to know his legit height, I've seen listed from 6'5" to 6'8". Of course many said 6'6" for Maymon was generous, so who knows, but I do agree if he's 6'5" that's a little more of a concern to me than if he's closer to 6'7".
Rob Lewis says he's 6-5, based on watching him at Tennessee's camp.
I definitely don't recall seeing that from Rob, as I've mentioned he is also a year young, so it's plausible he's still developing. I don't think there's much doubt that he's the guy most now question most, I just find it funny as many questioned Fulkerson and all of a sudden he's now a fringe top 150 guy, those people now look quite foolish for not holding off a bit.
Not even close IMO
Contributor=solid minutes, maybe a starter later in a career
