In response to mrjames
I try to provide context everywhere I can.
From a prioritization perspective, the prizes in the Ivy this year were Jaelin, Freedman and Noah. A full step beyond that would be guys like Taurus Samuels and Mason Forbes. Then, there are a bunch that are all - depends on who you talk to, mostly positive to mostly negative, but all guys that are expected to have an impact in the rotation at some point in their Ivy careers. Wang is somewhere in that group.
Thanks Mr J. I would ask where in your grouping was Ryan Betley? I am pretty sure there is a long list of IL recruits in his class that were considered to have an impact in the league long before he would have had and right now he has to be considered in a pretty exclusive group in a very strong class. I realize this is just one example and I don't put a lot of value in my own cherry picking I do recognize the value of a recruit that fits into a program and coaches that recognize that fit early.
I think Mike Wang was a pretty high priority for the Penn Coaches from the beginning and they are quite pleased with his commitment. I don't know if he will be a star in year 1 but to say he was anything other than a top target for Penn would be inaccurate.
