Ricardo Ledo (Providence, R.I./South Kent School)
2012, SG, 6-6, 178 pounds
His talent and potential were immediately noticeable once the five-on-five action began. Even when he isn't at his absolute best, he simply makes the type of plays that others can't. He literally is able to effortlessly go from one side of the rim to the other in mid-air to finish with dunks and has the full complement of size, athleticism and basketball skill. He over-dribbles at times and gets caught up in trying to do too much, but his long term potential is as high as anyone in the class.
-
Has he mentioned anything about what schools he's interested in? Assuming St. John's doesn't get all of the intended 2011 recruiting targets (and if they're smart), this kid would be a nice tall guard to lock down. And if he came with Khem and Jevon Thomas... nasty.

He's been very vague, but primarily BE/SEC/ACC schools. He's actually a reclassified 2011 kid-on his third hs. It'll be interesting to see what goes on with Omar Calhoun, a smaller, less athletic, local version of Ledo with a higher bb IQ.

St. John's didn't make his final seven.

My guess is Syracuse for this kid. It is total specualtion on my part.
When the Orange get close with kids they are really going after, they usually get their man.
-
Syracuse seems to be getting better and better talent each year.
-
Saw him play. He is the real deal. Impact first year player.
-
He tore it up today dropped 35 at Hoop Group Tip Off. He has really deep range and can take it to the rack. Kind of reminds me of Tracy Mcgrady somewhat.

Any insight into why?

Back injury.

Ricky Ledo commits to Providence....wow! job saver for Keno Davis
-
One guy saves nothing. Remember how Sylvan saved UVA?

Ive been saying for a few years Keno should have waited another year to take a job. Same with Willard
-

I fail to see how one situation has to do with another. The promise of a blue chip recruit saves a job there is no way around that.
-
A few things about Ledo he's a big time player who can shoulder a scoring load. The first thing anyone would say when someone asked, "where is he going?" is "anywhere he wants"
Also I wonder how Keno will feel about Rick Pitino coaching the Puerto Rican national team which Ledo will be playing for.
-
This guy and Vincent Council should be a nice backcourt. I like Council's game,strong player. How big of a nice person is Jamine Peterson, he'd be 1 of the best players in the Big East this year

From everything I've read its a long shot he makes that team anyway.
-
Providence has lost the last two verbals from top recruits. This may play out differently, but 2012 is far away and this kid will be getting a lot of attention.
I hope he stays committed because we need the Catholic schools to step it up from top to bottom.

No way in h'ell he makes that roster if everyone who is eligible plays IMO. PR has a ton of talent at the wing spots.

He has a spot on the team if he wants it. Ledo is a freak one of the best wing players I've seen this winter.

Your saying he's a lock for Puerto Rican team?

My point is that bringing in one top recruit guarantees nothing. UVA is better now that Landesberg is gone.
One guy can make a good team a great team, but this guy is not going to carry a bad Providence team that's
going to be without the BE's leading scorer—a very good player, who's led them to what?

No way, Dave. Ledo is good, but he is just a boy and can't compete with professional men right now. Carlos Arroyo, David Huertas, Jose Juan Barea, Ricky Sanchez, Renaldo Balkman, and Guillermo Diaz would all play over him without a doubt. There are also kids currently in college that have bodies ready to compete and give more to that team than Ledo.
It's a 12 man roster and I just named six pros 1-3 without even mentioning any big men--of which they will need at least 4-5.

Maybe more important, Ledo has become a poster child for today’s college basketball culture, one that’s very different from what it was a decade or two ago. For this is no longer about getting a college scholarship, no longer about going to the NCAA Tournament, or graduating from high school. It’s no longer about any of the traditional markers of success.
This is about the promise of money.
This is about American Idol in baggy shorts and expensive sneakers. This is hopefully about going to college for only a year or so before going off to the NBA, where the checks are big and you don’t have to worry about passing western civ. This is the world Ledo is right in the middle of, and it’s not your father’s basketball world, not even close.
“Kids used to have entourages when they were in college,” Hart said the other day, when the news broke that Ledo had changed his mind about committing to the Friars. “Now they have them in high school.”

Hearing grumblings of Ricky Ledo to UConn

They must show recruits a good time :2funny:

He was on campus according to Zags. Pay back for Gomes, lol.
-
Uconn can certainly afford him
-
Uconn would be smart to stay away from this kid.

I'm not sure why you would say that. He's pro talent

Ledo is a player with some baggage, but a player with great potential. I cannot see too many schools saying no to him he was interested.
It would be interesting if he contacted Coach Lavin. What another SG?

Providence hanging in there with Ledo:

Kentucky, Syracuse, Providence and Connecticut are the four currently standing out for Ledo, but Texas, Florida, Arizona and Maryland are also heavily involved.
"I want to go somewhere I can win," he said. "Playing time is also important."

This kid hasn't met a shot he hasn't liked. He was hoisting from everywhere on Friday. Mind you he does make a lot. But I wonder how that fits into a structured offense. Unless he's going somewhere he gets freedom to do whatever he wants.

No clue how he can become eligible by January. The kid has hit up 3 High Schools in the last 2 years. One of which being 'reputable' Nortre Dame prep.
