I'm not better than the recruiting gurus. However, if he didn't think he would compete with Thompson than I highly doubt McDermott would have recruited him.
I also don't think I'm better at judging talent than our basketball coach either. And I don't make assumptions about his basketball ability without seeing him play.
Jiri wasn't highly rated either but he was our only All-Big 12 player last year.
