A list

These guys are mostly almost all crapshoots no? Wasn’t Payton somewhere around 5? And he can’t seem to even get a sniff.

And I’m not saying he shouldn’t take any sincere there are exactly zero commitments. But I wouldn’t hold my breath hoping for a whole lot of help here.

I think you can find better guards here.
But great schools constantly take fliers on big guys.
Peyton is said to have played 5 all year at that team. So yeah he'll probably transfer down.

I just like this list to see who ends up taking who. WVU is always on the list for a at least one. Their guards are both juco or d2 guys.

If you are asking if Payton was ranked around #5 as a JUCO - no he was not. I never saw him on any JUCO ranking list, but he did have a couple other decent offers,

I think there might be some confusion about Payton “playing the 5” at his JUCO, Payton “being ranked in the top 5” JUCO recruits, and Payton “starting for a top 5 JUCO team.”

On an unrelated note, I wondered what happened to Nigel John. Believe he was a guy we kicked tires on late in the process when we were thinking about adding another big with Hugley in that class.

Could be that I’m just an idiot too so don’t ever discount that

JUCO recruiting ain't what it used to be. All that you really need to know is that JWF was probably the third most successful JUCO recruit at a P6 school over the past 7 or 8 years.

If a recruit isn't at JUCO because something got messed up right as he tried to enroll like Chris Duarte or Alonzo Verge Jr then the odds of them offering anything are really, really low.

You got your rare guy like Duarte but they're few and far between.

But i think the top guards can sometimes be good.

Sure, if you can get a Duarte, or a Verge, or a Teddy Allen, or the like who was a P6 level recruit but couldn't get in school that's certainly fine. But the top players this year are coming from Bradley and Wofford so there just really isn't much there.

I think Payton was a preseason top 5 JUCO player heading into last year. No idea where he was when we actually got him. His tape looked fantastic, which just goes to show how piss poor some of the competition must be.

Nobody really goes to JUCOs anymore. For one, all schools take kids who get the minimum required score and for 2, most kids do a post-grad year instead of JUCO.

Yeah i don't doubt your knowledge of these type of lists.
