OK, I'll bite. I've seen Calathes only twice, but he really impressed me both times -- more, to be frank, than Kosta. Not that I am in any way disappointed in Koufos, but I think the Gaytors got a good one. Great court vision, high hoop IQ, good passer. Agreed that the athleticism isn't there, but Steve Kerr, Mateen Cleaves and Mark Price didn't set any decathlon records either.

In all the high school games I saw he was by far a STAR. I never seen a 7'2 guy bring the ball up the court to beat full court pressure and then he hits 3's . Please name one high school kid that is over 7 that ever did those things in a game. Yes, he needs some strength . The all star games are a show for the kids to move up there ranking with the NBA teams. Kosta didn't get one pass to him while, he was getting assists. In the state game he was double or triple teamed all game. Kinda like the Pistons against Lebron last night

Was the truth ever uncovered why Herb Pope left the east coast to go to New Mexico State University?

Also there is no way that KK should be ranked in the top 10... I would put him at number 7 right behind Love, and I think that Walker should be taken out of these rankings... I would also put Tuner in the top 50 somewhere... Also Lauderdale is too low, and same with Wallace...

Regardless, 5 of the top 116 is nothing to scoff at.
A few years ago, if someone told us that our recruiting class would consist of the following ranked players, we'd be rioting in the streets in bliss. Rivals has done some homework, now let's let our boys get on the court and show them how wrong or right they were. Hopefully the latter. Good stuff.

Either way I am very happy about this class, and they might take their lumps early next season, but come big ten season they will be ready to go...

he may turn out to be a very good player by the time he graduates, but the rankings from scout and rivals are evaluations of the players as they are now. there is very little about calathes that i've seen that would lead me to rank him ahead of, say, diebler--let alone a great number of other players. i agree that "no way no how" should calathes be ranked ahead of koufos. that is an absolute joke. i think the same can be claimed when contrasting calathes to almost any other player in the top 25.

Of course, I could be wrong. In any event, I'm overjoyed with the Buckeye freshman class of '07.   GO BUCKS!

if diebler had on his high school team half the player that parsons was for calathes, my statements would be all the more apparent. who on diebler's team went up for so many alley oops that make highlight clips for calathes? who on diebler's team played around the rim so much that it opened up the outside like it did for calathes? who on diebler's team was so good that defenders were forced not to double- and triple-team him? however, this really isn't about calathes versus diebler. this is about all of the players that were rated behind calathes who in no way should be considered inferior. whatever. in the end, the scout and rivals player rankings matter only off the court. we'll see soon enough what the true rankings are. finally, i'm not even sure what to say to someone who thinks that calathes is one of the 5 best players to become a college freshman. wow... just... wow. that just boggles my mind that someone would claim that.
