It was almost an uncertainty principle joke, but I decided this one was a little easier.

If he went to that game, he knows he will be able to play right away at Penn. Ugliest game of the year.

I doubt he will play right away in fall of 2017. That's a long way from December 2015. If Max and AJ aren't dominating the minutes the. Coaches should be fired.

Unless they're gonna play 40 minutes each there should be plenty of minutes in the frontcourt.

Not if Donahue plays 4 guards with the 4th being Matt Howard/Matt McDonald type. That's what he did most last year. We don't go "big" very often. We did against Yale, Columbia and GMason, who all had bigger lineups but usually our 'big' on the floor was DNH/Max/Dwyer.

2017's class is setting up to be really interesting. As everyone some of us remember, Penn bulk offered 3 NMH kids last year: Kellan Grady, Andrew Platek, and Jerome Desrosiers.
Grady now has a top 4 of Davidson, Butler, Nova, and Northwestern. Platek has offers from Miami, Penn State, Davidson, Rutgers and has rumored interest from Butler, Wisconsin, and UNC (who knows?). Desrosiers has a much more conventional offer list, but it appears Harvard will be at the top of it.
Grady went with Davidson.

Yeah and how did that work out? If we have a big that can play it would behoove the coach to get him on the floor.

It's extremely hard to separate the increased reporting on the recruiting process from the quality of the league-wide offer list, but from what I'm hearing, this is likely to be another monster class for the Ivy with a bunch of 3-stars and above in the haul.

Mike, who are you hearing is making noise with the 3-stars and up (aside from H)?

All of Harvard, Princeton, Penn and Yale should have big years (with depth relative to their needs), and a couple of the other four schools could surprise. It's hard to allocate recruits to teams because there's a trickle-down effect, depending on whether pool-expanding recruits decide to go Ivy.
My initial line would be 9.5 3-star or better recruits league-wide with 4.5 teams ending up with at least one.

I agree. And we will have at least two bigs on our roster with a year and two years experience by then. Those are the guys who will be better than a 2 star high school graduate, just like our guys weren't any good against Drexel. You win in this league (barring top 10 recruiting classes) with juniors and seniors who have been in your program and have experience. That's what Yale did last year. I believe guys like AJ and Max are younger versions of Sears and Sherrod and no 2 star HS graduate is going to come in and beat them out if our coaches are doing their job.

Mike, any 4 stars projected?
I assume 5 star talk is just that.

I don't care how many stars he has. If he can play he can play. There's far too much credence already put into these rating systems. Most have everything to do with your AAU affiliation or whose summer league you're in or who you're touring with than ability. Forgive me if I tend to lean a little old school with my evaluations. Roll the ball out and let them. I'll leave the stars to the astronomers.
