B - B - B - D - A - D - B - D - D - C - D - B
16.4 ppg, 4.8 apg, 5.6 rpg, 2.3 spg, 1.8 bpg
Magazine: regional 25 (OV), 7 (POS)
WSSN: regional 25 (OV), 7 (POS)
He's a 1.0/1.5 freshman. How?
First, remember his letter scouting grades reflect POTENTIAL, not CURRENT.
Secondly, I've found far too many recruits/players whose overall ratings bounce around meaninglessly. This is a prime example of a player whose overall is likely to bounce up next year, then plummet back to 1.0/1.5 and end up 2.5/3.0.
Compare his actual ratings to your other players for a better indication of how good the player is for your team. I've also had many players go up across the board in ratings and drop in overall rating to have any belief in the overall ratings.
As has been suggested, play the kid and see how he does.
