To answer your question, check out his competition, if the nikka can pull off a highlight real on a school like oak hill, montverde, DeMatha

Then he's clear cut but as of now he just leaping on nikkas seventh woods style

That's the reason I have Romeo over him right now

Covered them both for years, and Bagley is the clear #1 in his class. Saying Zion is the #1 kid and using mixtapes as examples, you might as well go nuts and say Lamelo is the best PG you've seen in years.

Jerry Meyer from 247, he's different because he'll correct his mistakes here and there, but he is a master of the prisoner of the moment. The plus side to that is he'll change the rankings weekly. The bad side is he'll change the rankings weekly. Using 247 as an example might be worse than the point I've made about Zion and Lamelo. Zion is the truth, but I'll see what he does in the Nike EYBL, where everybody is nice. He is my #2, but there are some flaws that stands out in his game, but I'll talk about it another time.

Yeah I think Garner Road. I'm hearing he might role with Team CP3, and I hope he does. Romeo too. Way more comp, though Adidas is not bad. One of my favorite AAU teams, Mass Rivals, swept through the whole thing last year.

Nah I hope they stay on the adidas circuit. The 2018 adidas class looks good.

Meyers the only one who judges his ranking on what he thinks of them as pro prospects no other sites does that

I remember he had Towns at the top of the class when ESPN and others had him like 12

Doesn't mean he's always right but I also like that his rankings are strictly about them as pro prospects and the fact that politics aren't involved in his rankings unlike the other major sites

KG also left to play tougher competition.

Nah...he was facing Lynching charges so they sent him away. He was facing between 5 to 30 yrs....meaning he could have still been in jail right now.

Point is....SC players don't get much hype....but when they do they are usually as advertised.

Alex English
Ty Corbin
Larry Nance
Xavier McDaniel
Ray Allen
Kevin Garnett
Jermaine O'Neal
Trevor Booker

The exceptions are Stanley Roberts and Zam Fredrick

We'll see if lil homie Seventh Woods keep progressing as well as Zion
