I think Glenn could be good at UCF or South Florida.
Needs to go to a team which will allow him to have the ball his hands some.

The takeaway is that āfour-starā is a dumb term because thereās a massive difference between the 31st recruit and the 135th recruit and all are called āfour starsā.
Glenn also definitely doesnāt qualify as a lack of research given his relationship with Juwan Howard and his family.
Barnes and Tschetter were late risers during a time when the world was shut down.
Jace is the head coachās son. Thinking the research was fine.
Kobe Bufkin was a āfour-starā and he turned into a first round pick in two seasons.

Ok my bad, I swear I looked up Jace and the headline said Jace was a 4 star but canāt find it now, lol. Well heās still a bust at least! 
If Howard somehow knew we werenāt going to make the tourney last year do you think he would have played some of those guys more to at least develop or evaluate? I guess he probably got enough evaluations out of practices I guess.

Heās playing about how youād think the 400th rated guy in his class should be expected to play. Hard to call that a bust

I give Jace a lot of credit for his hustle at least heās trying. If only Jett got some of those cells, maybe Jace used them all up and there was nothing left. We clearly need more hustle from top to bottom and it feels like next year weāll be better in that regard at least.

If hustle is the main ingredient then start Cheddar at every position simultaneously. Boom Hustled!!
Odd topic, especially within the Glenn thread, which we know why he was recruited here specificallyā¦
Some of the evaluation āmissesā across the country are simply due to some limited recruiting access during the pandemic. I just think that gets very lost amid the complications our coach has had to face in the beginning of his career. Itās not like he could lean on Phil or Saddi for the new landscape of recruiting.

Point taken. But some things like rebounds are about who wants it more not always whoās more skilled thatās all I meant.
I donāt post much, didnāt expect to be called a troll but thatās fine. Iāve been a fan since the Gary Grant days and Iām always emotionally attached to the teams. Love UM bball and this site. Iāll just disappear nowā¦

The correct Star rankings are powers of 2.
1-2 8 stars
3-4 7 stars
5-8 6 stars
9-16 5 stars
17-32 4 stars
33-64 3 stars
65-128 (most of the guys you mention) 2 stars
129 ok sure good luck in the BIG10
Basketball recruiting scouting is pretty good and the do a nice job at the top the class.

Glenn, Barnes and Tschetter were all outside the top 100. You arenāt a 4 star at that point imo. Itās not unexpected for that level of player to not be rotation caliber in the B1G
I donāt think a single site had any of those guys in the top 100. They all got the basic āyouāre committed to a top 20 programā rank

There are over 200,000 high school varsity boys basketball players in America. 75-80 thousand of them are seniors. Say what you will, but any player who is ranked 101 or 110 or 120 is a hlluva player. What an amazing accomplishment it would be to be more highly ranked than 99.85% of ALL the high schools boysā basketball players in America. I can only imagine. Think about itā¦
Of course, star ratings are somewhat arbitrary, but a player ranked outside of the top 100 may still be tremendously talented, more talented than I have ever personally known.
- There are approximately 17,000 high schools in America that sponsor boys basketball, that I know. Most schools have 12 or 13 players on their varsity team. I estimated that about 40% of varsity players are seniors, though thatās certainly not cut in stone and may even be on the low end percentage wise. So, I admit my numbers arenāt exact but I believe them to be close approximations and probably a pretty fair representation of the numbers.

By the way, just to let everyone know, using the numbers Iāve used in my illustration above and using Jaceās number 389 composite ranking (247), he was ranked better than 99.51% of high school seniors during his senior year. While some may claim that heās not āgood enoughā to play at Michigan, and I donāt disagree that he might have been a greater contributor, on the floor, in games, at a mid or lower tier DI school, he is, nevertheless, a talented player. I will also say this, if there are people who want to complain about how much playing time Jace gets, I would suggest those folk take it up with the coach whose job it is to make those determinations. Nahā¦didnāt think so, but what a concept.

So thereās no more questioning a playerās playing time. Well, that doesnāt seem to be the standard on sportās sites.
