hskr4life Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Never to early to look ahead. Check out the Number 1 player for the class of 2023! If this needs to be moved to the recruiting forum let me know. I think we should go hard after this kid! He already has a few offers according to dad. http://middleschoolelite.com/2014/10/13/mse-top-50-national-player-rankings-for-4th-grade-class-of-2023/ It't getting to the point where the NCAA needs to step in and be like... no more. I mean seriously! The top 50 players who are fourth graders. Thats just nuts! Someone has to much time on their hands. Quote
colhusker Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 A 4th grader is all, think how many times the rules may change with recruiting before he is even a senior in high school. Quote

AuroranHusker Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Truly Bron Bron. Sick handles & play-making - hopefully Nebrasketball has him on 'our' radar! Quote
HuskerFever Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 I've got two questions... 1) How is his leg hair situation?, and 2) Do his knees bend the correct way? Quote
Handy Johnson Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Let's not forget we got a verbal from Arop after his FRESHMAN year in High School... Quote
Norm Peterson Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Well, he's equally adept laying it up left- or right-handed. Nice dribble-between-the-legs-step-back deuce. Decent form for a 4th grader, I guess. But I think Kidney's girls could take them. Just superior coaching. Makes up for talent. HB 1 Quote
FredsSlacks Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 he will go to ohio state... Quote
49r Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 he will go to ohio state... Yep, I mean after all, his dad went there: Wait...what??? Quote
Handy Johnson Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 That's the typical Grandstanding Bulls**t you expect from THE Ohio St. University. Why don't we retire Nate Archibald or Bob Cousy's jerseys, they both played/coached for the Omaha Kings? That chaps my A** to the point I hope we smoke 'em tonight in Columbus. Quote
Norm Peterson Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 he will go to ohio state... Maybe for a couple of years, but then he'll transfer to Miami. ladyhusker, Red Rum, 49r and 3 others 6 Quote
atskooc Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 he will go to ohio state... Maybe for a couple of years, but then he'll transfer to Miami. Well played, sir! Quote
AuroranHusker Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 he will go to ohio state... Maybe for a couple of years, but then he'll transfer to Miami. You mean, "take his talents to South Beach!" Quote
Dean Smith Posted March 3, 2015 Report Posted March 3, 2015 He does look like he has good court vision and he is bigger/talller and probably (definitely?) doing things faster than the team I watched, but I saw a 4th grade team this weekend in Nebraska playing and winning against 6th grade teams. They had one player who appeared to have comparable court vision, two who appeared to have better left hands, three of them completed Eurosteps (one with an added pass fake that turned the defense literally in a circle on two occasions so that the defender had their back to the hoop as he laid it in), one who consistently hit runners/floaters in the lane agains 6th graders up to a foot plus taller, two who penetrated into the lane and on the jump stop would hit jump hooks over bigger players, and one who had a lunge cross over move that sent the defense falling in the wrong direction more than once. Now I am describing different combinations of the same four kids but they had a couple more that together scored repeatedly on things like shot fakes & pull ups and hitting the back door cut (which I think is a completely underused option in every offense). The point is Bron Jr. right now is now is skilled but not greatly more skilled than a lot of fourth graders. The difference is who he was genetically created by. The 4th graders I saw will probably be descent high school players, but what makes LJ jr. so much more attractive then those kids to recruiters is that he is going to continue to grow to 6'8ish and will in all likelihood be drastically quicker, faster, and stronger when puberty kicks in.

And that just goes to show that these rankings are crap. Thanks for this! What I am saying is, if it was truly the "best" 50 players in the class, a few Nebraska kids should be on it from the sounds of it! Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Posted March 3, 2015 my son said he saw where LJ sr. had a press conference and said that this isn't good for his child or and child this young and it needs to stop. He also that any more colleges that offer scholarships will be taken off any list when he is old enough to go to college. Quote
