I highly doubt we would take a commit from this kid at this point with the door still open on Heron, Alkins, Ahmed etc. Would we?

He is a 4 star recruit on ESPN and Rivals for what it is worth. That puts him borderline top 100, do we turn a guy down like that? Would be very tough to do for me.

Four stars puts you firmly in the top 100.

Visiting Virginia today after being at Villanova yesterday.  Probably, will shortly shoot up in the class rankings.

Maybe it's time to take this back?

Nope lol. He's not in top 100 and neither is Lovett who is a four star on ESPN also

Hunter will rise in the rankings.  I also like a composite of rankings.  LoVett is considered a top 100 recruit, per composite rankings.

Personally, Rivals and 247 Sports does a better job than ESPN.

Rivals has been doing rankings the longest and is the one I generally look at as the most "reliable" if that is possible.

247 didn't rank Lovett either but he ended up at 76 in the final RSCI rankings anyway.   

ND just offered. Which means this kid 1) definitely has the grades to qualify and isn't a flake and 2) doesn't have his hands out. Good signs.   Hope we lock him in

Ellison is a more complete player.  I'd rather go in different directions:  Heron, Ahmed, and/or Freudenberg.

Not true. Just means the quality of player the scouts think the prospect is. This is generally thought of as a very top heavy and deep class.

Hunter played really well during Memorial Day weekend in front of ESPN, Rivals, and Scout and he didn't crack top 100. I personally think he is deserving and has the potential but they felt other guys were more deserving.

Rivals has been doing rankings the longest and is the one I generally look at as the most "reliable" if that is possible.

Rivals has been doing it the longest and I think Eric Bossi is one of the best evaluators and one of the most unbiased guys out there. Not afraid to be out on an island on a guy.

I hope that Rivals gets more national guys. Scout and ESPN both have 4 national guys.

Jerry Meyer was one of the original guys at Rivals and is now at 247. He's another guy who I respect a great deal but they are in same boat as Rivals and don't have as many resources. I do enjoy going to that site to get the composite rankings and other info.

Had more to do with what class he was going to be in. Some of the reclass guys get removed from the rankings. You won't see Thon Maker in some rankings either even though he'd be a top 5 player.

That's true.  For example Maverick is only ranked by two sites in the class of 15 and it's easy to understand why.  But Lovett was class of 15 the entire year so I don't understand why that applies.  I'm not on top of all this, was he post grad originally 14?  Some site also wouldn't or don't rank post grad players which puts them at a disadvantage as well.
