Reviewing some of Rivals.com's reviews
BY DUSTIN DOW | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Rivals.com is great at creating buzz about players coming out of high school. But how good is the analysis? Here's a quick breakdown. Here's what Rivals.com said about ...

Randolph Morris from Kentucky, ranked No. 10 in the class of 2004:
"Morris, 6 feet 11, 250 pounds, is a big man with a throwback, back-to-the-basket game. The addition of Morris also will fill a void in the post for the Cats. Erik Daniels graduated and the two 7-footers, Lukasz Obrzut and Shagari Alleyne, did not progress the way (coach Tubby) Smith had hoped they would."
Current Enquirer analysis: Can still prove he's a top-10 recruit, but the only other top-10 player from 2004 still playing college basketball is UK's Joe Crawford, who was probably overrated at No. 9. Rivals.com expects its Top 20 prospects to be NBA-ready after a year or two of college. Morris, a junior, has demonstrated he's not quite there yet.

Justin Cage from Xavier, ranked No. 110 in the class of 2003:

"Cage impressed us with his ability to play both inside and out. He has a rugged build, which aids him in forays to the basket, yet also displayed keen passing ability from the high post."
Current Enquirer analysis: Rivals.com was right about Cage's attributes, but there aren't anywhere near 109 college seniors today who are better than Cage, who was the Most Outstanding Player of the Atlantic 10 Tournament last season.

Hernol Hall from Cincinnati, ranked No. 4 in the junior-college class of 2006:
"Hernol is a physical paint player who works hard for position and gets high-percentage shots. He has a nice touch from 15 feet, is a good passer, has a strong body and has the potential to be a big-time player as he learns the game."
Current Enquirer analysis: To be determined. Hall was seen as a steal when he first committed to Duquesne out of junior college. Then-Duquesne coach Danny Nee considered Hall the best recruit he ever landed, so the ranking looks good for now.

Greg Oden from Ohio State, ranked No. 1 in the class of 2006:
"Will be a dominating force from Day 1. Oden has been considered the No. 1 prospect in the class of 2006 since early in his sophomore season."
Current Enquirer analysis: Oden's wrist injury is going to keep him sidelined for a few more weeks, but there's been nothing so far to suggest he's not the top player in last season's class; in fact, he even made the cover of ESPN The Magazine.
David Padgett from Louisville, ranked No. 7 in the class of 2003
"Padgett is one of the best players in the 2003 class and one of the most sought-after student/athletes."
Current Enquirer analysis: Since his freshman year at Kansas when he averaged 6.5 points a game, Padgett has fallen well short of his top-10 expectations.
