I’m confused. What do these games have to do with Marvel Allen? I don’t see his name anywhere in there.

So hibernating you were able to find out that Marvel was on the bench but not dressed? I wonder why someone else couldn't find this information but he could tell us that the kids on his 4th team?🤔

Pretty sure Marvel was playing through a knee injury in the spring/summer, and speculation was that attributed to his drop in the rankings. But now he has shut it down to let the injury properly heal. I think YaBoy mentioned this a few months back before his departure on here.

Glad he is getting his body right. On some level, I don't understand the non-stop games these kids play in various tourneys other than to get exposure for those kids not currently being recruited. Rarely are they repping their school but just some random AAU team. This was obviously his high school and I get the idea you want to improve against the best, but at some point there is probably a negative ROI with increased play. How many games is enough? 40, 80? I prefer the Otto approach of skill development as the foundation versus non-stop rolling out of the ball. Really glad to have this kid part of the program!

Boya - any particular reason for his tumble down the rankings? Injury? Performance?

Boya - any particular reason for his tumble down the rankings? Injury? Performance? My take is Allen was hyped early in his high school career as he was a big scorer on some bad teams in Florida. Because of the numbers he put up and good size that he had early, he put himself on the national radar. Much like Aminu Mohammed, Allen matured early and was bigger/stronger than most kids he played against. As the other kids have caught up in size, Allen's game hasn't progressed enough to distinguish himself as much. He still plays bully ball as a guard, isn't a true PG or a great outside shooter - he's a tweener that shoots a lot but not that efficiently.

Marvel Allen has been injured and hasn’t played in a game since July. His rankings drop is because recruiting sites have no clue what to do with talented guys that go through extended absences so they typically default to dropping them.
