****Official Class of 2017 Recruiting Thread****

[FinalFourCy]

They keep growing over in Iowa City while ours shrink, it sucks.

I'm not familiar with what you're talking about, but yes, getting recruits that grow a couple inches into better prospects is always luck. I think we enjoyed that with Young, but it had been awhile before him. Wesley Johnson perhaps.

He makes the game of basketball look so easy in that video. Mr. Smooth.

You missed his joke. haha It was making fun of how every Iowa recruit gains like 3 inches while talking to Iowa fans

Just a bad joke, Lewis been listed as 6'-6" for as long as he's been in our radar.

 

[Cyforce]

Lewis goes for 50 in Milwaukee All-Star game

Reminded me of Buddy Hield

Oh, I see. He looks closer to 6'4" than 6'6" to me, but perhaps it's the shoes.

Seriously, I thought the same thing watching that. He looked shorter than I'd expected due to his other videos

 

[rholtgraves]

Lewis has such a pretty shot. Definitely looks like a wing that could easily end up 6'5" 220. Reminds me more of Chris Babb in that video than Clyburn.

Reminds me more of a better Ray Allen

 

[State43]

Reminds me of a more athletic Michael Jordan!

I see it in the face, but Lewis has a better shot.

now that is just crazy! He doesn't have a gambling problem.

You can't get too much out of all-star games because there isn't much defense being played, however, one thing you can always judge is someone's jump shot, and Lewis has a tremendous shot.

I know he's no Buddy Hield or Ray Allen, not many guys are, but those are two pretty decent comparisons to Lewis' game IMO. I think Lewis will be an amazing shooter for us, and if guys play him close out there he also has the ability to get to the rim as well. I don't think he'll help us a whole lot on the boards though. Much more of a perimeter player that can drive it too, but plays mostly outside.

Good thing we did away with our baseball program. He could quit after his second year and go to the baseball team. Except we don't have one.

I noticed elite juco recruiter (and former Chipola CC coach) Greg Heiar left WSU for LSU. Wonder if that drove the switch in Edwards to visit LSU.

And (without fact checking their roster) LSU is trash and he probably sees an opportunity to make an impact there.

[Hayes30]

Maybe it was just the jersey number but the way he plays is so smooth he honestly looked like a shorter T-MAC.

I know ESPN rankings aren't a favorite of the people who follow the prospects but...

@PaulBianicardi Our final player rankings from 2017 will be out tomorrow & class rankings. 2018,2019 & 20' will be after the spring evaluation period.

Curious where Wigginton/Lewis move to.
Also if McNeil/Brooks make it.

Will Wade was recruiting him heavily at VCU and he is now the HC at LSU. Nothing more than that, just a solid relationship

They are one of the 4 services that 24/7 use in their composite, so it matters.
