How is this team decided? I assume it's by high school performance and not recruit ranking, but why no Alkins?

I don't care that he didn't make it. But is he good enough or close to being good enough to make it?

Truth about Alkins came out where he wasn't leaving CTK because of that bogus Florida rumor but instead because he used up his 4 high school years.  He's at a prep school now as a 5th year senior and ineligible for the game.

Ponds wasn't expected to make it. There are too many guards listed ahead of him in most rankings services. Makes no difference, we got ourselves a steal and I think he'll prove to be better than several of those McD's guards selected ahead of him.

Committee voters. Comprised of media + scouts. Some voters are very out of touch.

The last thing we need is another "savior". Let him put the uniform on and be part of the team. He doesn't need the added pressure that would certainly come with an accolade like this. Ponds is not a sleeper, and he doesn't need the ink. I think it's a great thing that kids like Ponds and Ahmed can come into the program with minimal hype.

Hope this puts a chip on his shoulder much like it did with Mark Jackson when he was taking a back seat to Pearl Washington and Kenny Smith out of HS.

Ponds isn't getting underrated or overlooked.  He's a highly rated player who is going to have an adjustment period when he gets to STJ.  And they've (Jefferson) lost a lot of games so far.

I think some think he's top 25 when indeed he's top 50. Nothing wrong with that especially since this class is super deep.
