That is just stupid after watching the video above.
yeah, the ranking doesn't make sense right now and i'm sure it's going to move up a lot very quickly, but the ranking does make a little sense when you look at his aau performance last summer. instead of playing with those his own age, he played up (17u versus 16u) and saw only spot duty in a back-up role. also, i think he went from averaging about 10 or perhaps a little less as a sophomore for his high school team to averaging about 20 last season. he's really blossomed.

in regards to playing up, that often hurts the recruiting rankings for players. ledee played up, too, which is why i think he dropped in the rankings after being a top 25 player his sophomore (and freshman?) season. and then there are the guys who are old for their class, play down (or with, that is) as long as possible, and purposely build a lofty ranking that later proves not to be warranted. see: mickey mitchell. although with mitchell, the injury did have an effect on his ranking drop, but his high early ranking was in large part due to being really old compared to his peers. his parents gamed the system. plenty parents of athletes hold back their kids just to gain a size, strength, and skill advantage. it's shameful. but i guess that's a topic for another thread. /rant

Top-50 forward Zeke Nnaji schedules visit tour
...

A 6-foot-10 power forward from the state of Minnesota, Nnaji has become a Big 10 priority in recent months but has also not lacked for national interest. Capable of practically picking the school of his choosing, Nnaji will be busy over the course of the next few weeks as seven unofficial visits have been set.

...

August 25: Ohio State

...

Look for Nnaji to narrow things down some in September before scheduling his official visits. From there, a commitment could occur in the fall leading to a signing in November.
