I feel like not the strongest looking class. I think the classes after have the players that people are more intrigued about (Naas Cunningham, Boozer bros, Cooper Flag, and so on).
One guy Im looking at with this class who isnt considered an elite prospect is TJ Power. 6'8 and probably the best shooter in the class. My favorite thing about him is how well he moves off the ball and how he already is such a great shooter in the JJ/Korver mode of being able to catch a pass then put up a clean shot right away and be damn good in that scenario, no need to have to have set feet to get a clean shot. At his size and with those two skills already pretty advanced for his age, I think he is going to be a guy that is going to carve out a nice NBA career. Not saying he is going to be a top 5 pick or anything like that, the dude isnt even a top 50 recruit (big momentum his way though with all the power house schools starting to offer him). But can see him being in college for 2-3 years and just being a solid NBA guy with his skill set.
Just wanted to bump this. TJ Power got bumped up to a 5 star and Scheyer continues his ridiculous recruiting stretch and he just committed to Duke.
Since Scheyer started recruiting, he has had one of the better recruiting stretches I can remember. These are the guys he has landed as the primary recruiter (started recruiting during the 2015 class)
21 5 star recruits (including TJ Power)
5 4 star recruits (Proctor was a 5 star until he reclassified)
This to me is early 2010s Cal at UK level of recruiting. Scheyer is pretty much at the point at the moment where if he really wants a guy, you can pretty much pencil him down as a Duke commit. At the moment Duke has 5 guys in the top 25 for the 2023 class, Duke has never done that before.
