Ok then we will use Alex Thompson who was rated 127. The fact is we don’t know how good anyone is based on their ranking. Hopefully Rock is the real deal
I think I see the problem here. When people are saying that Rock was Top 100, you’re reading that as “he was 100”.
Before JT reclassified, his rankings were in the sixties and seventies for his class—and had he stayed in high school, easily could have gone higher. Maybe Top 50.
He was downgraded after reclassifying so late, and when compared to older kids. I think his highest reranking for the ‘23 class was 80. So, still nowhere near 125.
A better general comparison at the HS stage would probably be Loren Meyer. If you want to get picky about specific abilities, a cross between Meyer and the outside game of Brad Lohaus.
Hopefully without Loren’s tendency to wander when classes are canceled due to weather.
Hope that clarifies a bit.
