I usually am skeptical of highlights since they only show the guy making shots. But IR shows a lot of court vision, seems to really know what's going on around him. Not only looks like the most athletic guy out there, but also the smartest.

We're aiming for 8 stars by the time final rankings are released next summer!

 

If he'd had offers from Kansas, MIchigan St., etc, he'd already have at least that many!

His film reminds me of another Illinois kid from not too long ago:

Ive seen Paul a couple times in person.  I think he is more mature physcially than Roby is but the one thing I like about Roby is the fact he is/was the man on his HS and AAU team.  I think that definitely helps your game when you are the main focus.  With White no matter his HS or AAU team he was not the top rated guy with Jahlil Okafor is HS and Charles Matthews on the AAU team.  I do agree though both are similar players but feel White is more of a down low player and will rely on others to create for him and feel Roby can be more of a facilitator/play maker and feel some of that is from the above but just from what I have seen on film or in person.

This is why there are more AAU teams now and also why some High School teams are staying together instead of breaking off into AAU teams.

I'll be honest:  This news kinda excites me.  Now, if only we could find a serviceable, athletic rebounder and rim protector, because there's not a center among them and none of them is taller than 6'8".

 

So, question:  If we find a starting center between now and next school year, which Rivals 4-star will be coming off the bench?

 

Whoa, did I really just type that?  :o

In my opinion, stars become far less meaningful for college transfers. I would think that particular evaluation would be superseded by the abilities demonstrated at their previous college. Obviously there are exceptions, and White may be one, given the circumstances at KU.

Well.  That might be true.

 

But, until this year, Rivals 4-stars of any variety, transfers or otherwise, were as rare as unicorns farting rainbows on this roster.
