royalfan 1,622 Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Anyone know the story about their cousin? I thought I saw a while ago they have a highly touted cousin. Wonder if we are working on him at all now? If anyone has the name, I would appreciate it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently, Fran ran out of kids. There's another, but he's only an 8th grader right now.

All the time. Probably every single year. Not only were Markelle Fultz, Ben Simmons and Anthony Edwards 5 star recruits, but they were the #1 overall picks in the NBA draft and their teams didn't make the tournament. In basketball, unlike football, 5 stars don't all go to blue blood programs. basketballjones 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

millerhusker 498 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 (edited) 7 minutes ago, basketballjones said: It's gotta be a short list though, right? Honestly, no. Off the top of my head, for just this year, Arizona State has Josh Christopher (5 star and future first round pick), and they're below .500. I'll fact check this later, but I'd guess every year there are multiple teams with 5 star recruits who don't make the tournament. Edit: Last year, Washington had three 5-stars on their team and went below .500 Edited January 11 by millerhusker basketballjones 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck Taylor 766 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 The first ones I thought of were Mitchell Robinson and Charles Bassey in consecutive years at W. Ky. Robinson's with the Knicks, Bassey's still with the Hilltoppers, so he could still make the tournament this year as a junior. Delano played with him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
