Recruitment Rankings

[admin]

Some early recruitment rankings from HoopScoopOnline, without any alterations from the player's Fall rankings. We will still have one more scholarship to give, and Childress I assume will finish a 3 star player.

On our rating 1-10 rating scale a top five player nationally is worth 10 points, a top 10 player nationally is worth nine points, a player in the 11-40 range nationally is worth eight points, a player in the 41-70 range nationally is worth six points, a player in the 71-100 range nationally is worth four points, a player in the 101-300 range nationally is worth three points, a player in the 301-1000 range nationally is worth two points, and anybody not ranked among the top 1000 gets one point. Junior college and prep school are factored in as if they were the equivalent of a high school senior.

66. WISCONSIN-MILWAUKEE (12 Points)..........3 Recruits..........4.0 Talent Rating Average Per Recruit..........Horizon League..........(6) Walter Waters, 6'10, C, Schoolcraft (JC) MI; (4) James Douglas, 6'3, 2G, Schoolcraft (JC) MI; (2) Ryan Childress, 6'8, C, Cincinnati (Moeller) OH.

Please note that we have a higher star average than UWGB. UWGB is only ranked higher right now because they have filled their scholarships. We will finish higher once our final recruit signs. Plus, childress should move to a 3star.

Holy sh*t, Waters is a 6star. A 6 freaking star center. #71-100 top player in the nation, the Horizon League's top recruit for next season. Easily this places him in the top center recruits in the nation...thus Georgetown, Pittsburg, Michigan, etc were after him.

Don't forget Douglas either...HE'S A FOUR STAR! ;D

Things are only getting better on the east side.

GO MILWAUKEE!
