In response to SomeGuy
Along the same lines, I predict that the best freshman in next year’s class will not be MLL. And that is nothing against MLL, who I am very excited about.
Yeah, I'm really excited to have MLL also, but I don't see him coming in and playing a lot of minutes from word go so doubt he would be in the mix for best freshman. I think with Woods, Donahue and Silpe graduating that someone like Dingle or Monroe or Charles or Martz (or more than one of them) could come in and have an impact early as all the guard and wings recruits seem to be off to a good start in their senior years.
MLL on the other hand had a great first game and then has really trailed off stats-wise and pub-wise while Harvard's recruit Ledlum is absolutely demolishing people... he scored 51 points this weekend to set new NMH record. He looks like the best player coming in next year.
Without seeing games it is hard to see what is going on with MLL - he appears to be shooting a good %, but frankly not shooting much from the boxscores (continues to rebound pretty well) and Ledlum is literally shooting 2-3X the number of shots of anyone on NMH so not a lot to go around (but in fairness Ledlum is scoring efficiently with all those shots and it is a beast). I think MLL is more ready as a post defender, rebounder, blocker, so either way something we really need and at 6'10" those are the kind of kids that can take a little longer to develop.
