Rivals has Oliver as a 4, Elliot as a 3 and Dixie as a 2. They're the best talent evaluation site and they don't overhype people just to get a certain number of players in each star catagory.

Don't get me wrong, those are some good pickups, and we'd be thrilled to have them, but slow your roll a little.

I'll buy that as a legitimate argument from you (even if I disagree) if you're consistent with your logic. Ben Hicks and David Moore having rankings of 5.5 on Rivals. Bowman Sells is ranked at 5.7. Are you saying that Sells is a better prospect than those 2?

Yes I agree he won't be going anywhere because commits always stick by their word two years prior to signing day.

They're both good, but I think Moore has a higher ceiling and a better running ability. That said, I'm not sure we hold onto him through NSD, so we might go have to try and steal Sells in the end.

Been wondering where you've been. haha. But it is the off season, and our biggest news lately is just having Vick stolen from us by one of LB's pupils.

Yeah man, it's been a combination of both the offseason and I just started a new business. So I've been really busy with that and ramping it up. I actually just finished off my Master's degree and had been traveling quite a bit too from March-April. Took in my first UNC-Duke game and sat about 3 rows off the floor for Duke/Wake at Cameron, was pretty sick. Then had a bunch of presentations in NYC for various consulting projects...I can tell you more if interested but it was pretty damn cool to be presenting analytics findings to the GM of the NYG and giving draft advice. Like I said, just busy more than anything. You got my digits tho, hit me up anytime. I should be getting to see a lot of prospects on the AAU circuit here. Probably be living in the gym trying to get my sister prepared for college ball this fall, I think she thinks shes just gonna step on the court and start...not exactly the way it works at the D1 level ha.

Anyways, will definitely try to be more active, especially as I follow more hoops this summer. There's quite a few kids that I've been hearing about that I'll be getting my first look at.

What kind of analytics are you involved in? I'm a data/analytics guy and love the applications for sports -- wish I could work it instead of boring telecom/finance/what-have-you.
