Mine will be a head scratcher in Carter Whitt. I think Carter could have a monster season for us. I think he needed to have a season under his belt in the program.
With the departure of JS the lob for a slam may be off the table. Not sure Repass can get up that high or at least we haven’t seen it yet. Most likey for lob/slam would Vanderwal.FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Sat Jun 03, 2023 6:16 amFurmanFan23 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2023 4:44 pmWho do you believe to be the most underrated player for this upcoming season and why?

I am looking forward to that Whitt lob pass to Repass for the slam, nobody going to see that coming

highest rated playa eva? Really? Pls explain this one....FurmanFan23 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 03, 2023 12:52 pmInteresting to see how James Repass plays this year. As Furman’s highest rated player ever I am expecting alot.
That's honestly not a very good ratings site to go by, just looking at some of the players listed for FU top 20 most of them fall during the Jeff Jackson bad years, I am not sure this ratings website has very much data for any players that have come to FU over the last 30 years, and it has zero data about players from 90's and prior decades of course.....................FurmanFan23 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 8:09 pmhttps://247sports.com/college/furman/Se ... l/Commits/
Excuse me he is number three overall. Repass has the size and tools to be something Furman has never seen. Never before have we had a true center!
I do remember Colin Reddick being rated high, and we got him because we took his brother as well when some other schools out there would not. Also Quan Prowell was rated fairly high when Larry Davis got him, but then he bolted to Auburn after his freshmen season. None of the other guys on that list were given very many looks by other D1 programs.

A better way to gauge it would be to look at the range of offers players get from schools via verbal commits.
For example using verbal commits Tyrese Hughey actually had alot more offers out of high school than Repass did:

https://www.verbalcommits.com/players/james-repass
Sadly the highest rated player we ever recruited was signed by Larry Davis, but he died I believe from an enlarged heart or something of that sort playing during his senior season in high school, his last name was Porter I think. I think he averaged around 35ppg.
