Interesting that Glide is on board with that guys way of thinking, since that tweet is from the same guy who tweeted this: Wonder what that says about what Glide actually thinks about McClung? Click on the link I commented there. And if you read all most post and research on McClung I love the kid and even had one of pics as my avi. He's a point guard, a leader who will make good decisions on the ball. Get his teammates involved and to make them better. McClung talks like a point guard. Go back and read you won't have to wonder. I always mentioned we'd need another point guard to play alongside Mac as well. Villanova is a prime example of this. I'm not blind as some here are. Nice try on that one pal. lol I never said I was onboard with anyone's way of thinking. I just know in this recruiting it's all about getting the best player you can to keep your job as a coach. Coaches over-recruit too. Not to say Ewing is doing this. Maybe he or the kid left out the word "another point guard." I don't know and you don't either. So, to bash this guy All-Met, who is highly respect in the DMV of hoops knowledge is crazy to be honest with you. You all talk about respecting peoples' opinions but you don't. Some of you can be very hypocritical when it comes to this. No disrespect either. I can think on my own. Peace.

I disagree with that,if you are not in top 150-175 at least you’re not going to be able to compete in high major conference.you have to have talent to compete in the big east.this 1 and 2 star players will not cut it . I think you need top 25-50 ranked recruits to win in big east. Getting 1 top 100 recruit a year and the rest 2-3 star players will get you fired. You need talent to win. Again, we're talking about * ratings. Please understand.

Interesting that Glide is on board with that guys way of thinking, since that tweet is from the same guy who tweeted this: Wonder what that says about what Glide actually thinks about McClung? That's just the dumbest tweets/responses from All Met & Hoyas247. What is Coach Ewing suppose to say in a Home visit for Akinjo or any other prospect "we're good at your position, don't need any help there buttttt....if you want to come on board I guesssss you can?" Based on their tweets they both don't have a clue of the Hoyas 2018-2019 roster that as of right now only has 2 ball handling playmakers. Tbh Coach Ewing staff won't really know what any incoming player will be able to do until they get a chance to coach them on a daily basis. Lastly a lot of teams play 2PG simultaneously. Those tweets are just highly ignorant... Don't act like this doesn't happen. And who really knows what Ewing said to this kid. You should be old enough communication gets mixed up sometimes. You nor I weren't there. Patrick could have said the word "another point guard" but the kid relayed it differently or Patrick could've meant to say "another point guard" who knows. But to respect All-Met tweet/comment it's his opinion, so I respect it. Coaches do over-recruit. When I first saw Ewing go after this kid I commented I hope Mac doesn't take this personal,but I also mentioned I don't think Mac is this type of player, but I don't what would be in Mac's if this did happen. This is old anyways. I wouldn't call those tweets highly ignorant at all. If anything there can be some truth or not not to those tweets. I know these people they highly respected in what they know and do. If anything there's a lot of ignorance here. Not saying you are though. Respect. Hoyas247 did say anything wrong.

I don't know where some of you get your information from, but here's a good football story of a "NO STAR" recruit. "It’s true that some athletes have every college in the country trying to break down their doors. They’re the top recruits, the guys on national recruitment lists and high school All-America teams. They’re the ones who sometimes get money thrown at them (shhhh, no one’s supposed to talk about this). These are the guys with “5-star” or “4-star” next to their names. The next tier of college football prospects are pursued, albeit more quietly than the top recruits. Lastly, there are the guys who don’t get recruited at all. They dream of a college football scholarship, but no coaches are calling. I call these players “no-star recruits.” I was a no-star recruit. Here’s how the recruiting process works. All the different recruiting services evaluate each high school prospect and give him a rating of 2-5, with five stars being the best. As a “no-star recruit,” I didn’t even land on the rating system. I was nowhere to be found on Rivals, Scout, or ESPN, the big three sites that monitor recruiting. Yet I ended up at the University of Miami as a football player, became a two-year starter, made the All-ACC team my junior and senior seasons, was named a captain my senior year, and was able to enjoy a cup of coffee in the NFL (last month, I wrote about my life as an NFL journeyman). How did it all happen?" www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/the-no-star-recruit

Besides Morant and Culver who’s the other 3 Neither Rui or Hayes were ranked top 100.. Think coach is lumping Hunter in there thus the "Now some sights change rankings when a player Blows up" disclaimer. Hunter was mostly considered a 3 star recruit until late in his hs career. I do think for the most part rankings overall are pretty solid, I just don't think it matters much when evaluating individual talent. If I'm a coach and I think a kid has it, I don't really care if Bossi, Snow, or Biancardi do not agree. They get a lot right. They get a lot wrong. It's the nature of the business. Watch them play in a game setting and trust your eyes.

Nothing like social media to claim a "small unknown school" is Washington State University, enrollment 30,614 and a member of the Pacific-12 conference.

Steph had bulked up a bit more in college than I remember. I thought he was a bean pole coming out, but that pic shows he had started to put on some muscle.

I watch a lot of college bball and I hadn't heard of Dame or CJ before their senior yrs....and if not for CJ singlehandedly beating Duke, I wouldn't have heard of him....

The school is really irrelevant because each year there is a new small school with a great player.....this year it was Murray St, Campbell and Belmont....so no it wasn't "pretty clear".....

I guess I should’ve said “pretty clear to those who were paying attention,” my bad. You’re missing the point. The school was relevant because that’s what what the poster was alluding to, probably based on how the tweet was written, which focused on unknown schools, not unknown players. Also, your point that good players come from small schools too - what are you even trying to argue? It has happened since the beginning of time and will continue to happen, in varying degrees.

I'm just curious, then, how any Hoya could say that Weber St. is an unknown school when we beat them in the NCAA Tournament one year at the buzzer on Don Reid's basket. That was Weber St., right?
