Crater fell, but Buford hit 5-star status. Offutt fell a bit, and so did Babbitt (from a high to medium 4 star). Everyone knew Crater was falling, the question was just how much. Falling to a 3 seems a bit drastic, but after the way he played the last month, he didn't deserve to be a 5 star anymore. He'll probably bounce back and be a 4 star guy when all is said and done. Brian Snow on rivals prepared us for this. He also prepared us for Buford's meteoric rise. Snow's usually on the money.

I don't see how you can deem a guy a five star and then deem him a 3 star...
When you see a 5 star guy you see a guy that is a can't miss, he can do it all, and there is no second guessing...
I understand that guys fall and guys climb in the rankings, but when not one recruiting service, but he 2 main recruiting services have him as the a 5 star #2 PG in the country, then all of a sudden he has a good high school season, decides to play on an AAU team where he has to try and find his way, and he struggles, doesn call for a fall like this...
IMO it has more to do with the fact that he has already verbaled...

I think it has more to do with how much stock they place into the AAU circuit. Buford has had a couple of really solid weeks and he rises, while Crater struggles and falls. Both verballed ... to the same school, but different movement on the rankings based on AAU performance.
Not that it's necessarily a fair assessment of one's ability to place that much stock in glorified pick-up games... but it has far more to do with that than his verbal.

Rivals are the same morons that don't have Mike Adams as a top 100 player in the nation.
If Noopy was from the south or Cali, he would be rated higher. He didn't play well, but a 3 star and #114 in the nation.....gimme a break.

This is the same guy that absolutely dominated the ABCD camp last summer...Had a good high school season...
It should be the overall body of work, that they see him, counting his film, along with all the offers he was receiving and the like...
The guys that were after him before he verballed arent the likes that offer a 3 star pg...

Regardless of what is ranking is or will be in the future.....their is no doubt in my mind that he is one of the top PGs in the nation.......his drop is due to just two AAU events....what a joke. Crater was the player of the year in Michigan and I personally do not get caught up in the rankings......trust me when I say that every major program would have taken Crater in a second. When it is all said and done.....it would not suprise me to see him back as a five star....
The sky is not falling.......I guess we can label him as a sleeper now.  |
