He's a 4* ranked 41 in rivals. Last I saw.

Skillings? Nah. #106, but he's a good player. I would have been thrilled to have him, but he dawdled and a better player took his spot

The link is not working correctly.
Fwiw...mooney and the spiders are making a BIG push to bring him in their fold.

They haven't even been to the tournament in 12 years. 4-16 last season? Oofah.
FWIW, I was told we’re not done.

Well, I am just going for what's on paper. On paper we are done. What happens or is happening behind the scenes, I don't know about.
Nonetheless, that is an interesting tidbit of news. And of course, you never stop recruiting.....one never knows what will happen. Ward could opt for the draft after the season or someone may feel they might have better opportunities elsewhere.
Stockard does not count against the total of 13. We have 14 players because of the Covid rules, so technically only 2 ships.
Unlike some here, I don’t see Ward being high enough on draft boards to go pro after the season. He has a lot to prove to do that. And with the NIL rules, players shouldn’t be taking big chances with the draft.

Ward is all about potential at this point. As of this moment, he'd be outclassed in the G League, much less the NBA. But his size, length, timing and athleticism suggest a very high ceiling. We shall see.
I don't have contacts in on the staff, but I doubt seriously we are recruiting for the 22 class . They almost certainly are keeping their ears to the ground for the spring though. Never know what is going to happen

I compare Ward to someone like Brice Johnson at UNC. Similar height, build, and length. Brice was a big stronger. He averaged 17 and 11 in the ACC as a senior and was only the 25th pick. He never stayed in the league because he’s not a perimeter shooter. At 6’9-10, you have to be able to shoot from the perimeter these days.
Ward will need to have a similar 17/10 average this year and shoot around 33-35% on 3 pointer with a decent number of attempts (2-3 per game) to have a good shot at being a first round pick.

Man, that's a shame. I really thought Giannis was gonna make it.

Agreed. I think it is possible. I know they are expecting him to add some shooting from 3 this year.
Are you seriously comparing Hason to Giannis?
LMFAO… some of you have some seriously gold tinted glasses on.
