It looks like there's a decent chance that we land Parker Friday. What's the scouting report on him as a player? I saw a blurb where he's a "former top 30 recruit", but yet he's now ranked as a 3* on 247 (not that I care about ratings... just genuinely curious). He's still a 4* top 100 overall player on the Composite. Why the rating slide? His stats look awesome. 24.8 ppg, 14.2 rpg, 7.1 apg, 2.4 bpg. Looks extremely well-rounded (statistically, at least). Something doesn't quite add up. What caliber of a player would we be getting? Are there any good scouting reports out there? He must be good if we're willing to use another scholarship on an incoming HS recruit rather than hold off for a portal guy.

I'm not sure why he has dropped so much for 247. They have him at 171 and every other service has him as a top 100 guy. He very well may have been overrated as a top 30ish guy, but dropping ~140 spots seems like a potential overcorrection. I agree with you though, if our staff really does want him and is willing to take him right now then I want him too. Our staff has a pretty good track record with finding fits. And these 4* fringe top 100 type guys that will stick around for at least two-three years are how you build a consistently talented roster in this day and age.


This isn't really much of a scouting report, but this blurb was in a Tipton article a couple of days ago:

quote:

Scouting Report

Kris Parker Scouting Report from On3’s Jamie Shaw:

“Kris Parker is a long and rangy wing. He has confidence on the ball in the half-court, and his ability as a shotmaker continues to rise. He will need to continue adding strength and overall sharpening his tools and shot selection. There is a lot of natural talent here. There is an upside still to go, and the intrigue lies with the fact he continues to get better a little better each time out.”

Jordan Harper at the Rivals site says he is hearing it's between Missouri and Villanova with Nova as the leader. Didn't Harper used to post here? I'm guessing he doesn't anymore

I don’t think we are taking anymore HS guys. Unless it’s a reclass. We are 100% portal shopping to fill out the rest of our roster
