Ranking Shaka HS recruits at Marquette

[JoanofArcMascot]

Not counting Sheek Pearson and Ian Miletic in this ranking because they haven't played yet. Also, guessing on others who have played so little and the ones who left because there's no way of knowing how it would have worked out if they had stayed, here's a ranking of Shaka's high school recruits since taking the Marquette job:
1. Chase Ross, 2. Nigel James, 3. Michael Phillips, 4. David Joplin, 5. Adrian Stevens, 6. Josh Clark, 7. Royce Parham, 8. Ben Gold, 9. Zaide Lowery, 10. Sean Jones, 11. Damarius Owens, 12. Tre Norman, 13. Keeyan Itejere, 14. Caedin Hamilton, 15. Al Amadou, 16. Emarion Ellis.
I'm sure most would rank Phillips and Clark lower but I just have a feeling about their upsides. The one I hope ends up being the most underrated on this list is Owens, because he flashed so much potetnial last year. ... Ellis is on the roster at Graceland University, an NAIA school in Lamoni, Iowa. Hasn't appeared in any games yet. Not sure if he is injured and/or redshirting. He spent a year at Bradley, where he averaged about two points a game, and a year at Nicholls State, where he averaged 4 ppg. ... Itejere is at his third school, having spent two years at Northern Kentucky and is at Rhode Island this year. Averaging about 8 points, 5 rebounds, shooting .833, blocking a shot per game. Had similar stats at Northern Kentucky, where he blocked 1.5 shots per game. Amadou averaging 1.5 and 1 in limited action for St. Joseph.

Ranking Michael Phillips ahead of David Joplin is wild.

wat u got in dat cup?

I would not know how to rank them all, other than Chase being lead dog .   The jury is out on most of Shaka's recruits.    Doing what Shaka does, he has to be right 75% of the time on recruits.    That is not so easy to do.   But not impossible either.

This is insane. Phillips and James ahead of Joplin and Clark ahead of Parham, Gold and Lowery?

This is just you thinking the unknown is better than the known.

With 15 scholarships, 50% would seem sufficient, and reasonable.

Its easy to second guess.

[JakeBarnes]

Ramsey prolly first.

7- or 8-man rotation, and just hope no one ever gets injured?

[WhiteTrash]

Its easy to second guess.

Yes easy, but not appropriate?

Paragraphs are your friend.

If 50% are hits, then at least a couple more can fill in minutes.  It's not like a 7.5 man rotation is that uncommon, or undesirable.
