Omaha is 11th in the 247 composite and projected as a top 5 pick in some mocks in 2024. So he cant get too much higher.
Tyrese Halliburton is a pretty crazy case. I didn’t pay attention to recruiting backgrounds. I went to the Mizzou game and he just absolutely stood out. I don’t think he had crazy stats but he just did EVERYTHING right on both ends of the court and was just great.
As an nba fan I instantly thought Tyrese was by far ISU’s best prospect since Fizer in his first ISU game, just blows my mind people do it for a job and said 3*. I hesitated to say it at time because threads like this would kill me, but it was obvious.
With Omaha I mean he’s probably #6 instead of #11 if you put a Duke brand on it. The explosiveness just makes the 5* a no brainer even without the brand name.
Of course we can compare Omaha to nba players when I frequently see less talented and more raw rookies, it doesn’t mean he’s going to start in the nba in a couple years, but those are the relevant player comps.
