I hate this talking point. You read it about everyone. The thing is, if he's destined to be a top 100 player, which top 100 players aren't supposed to be there? You know what you rarely read? Someone posting that their new recruit is currently ranked in the top 100 but when it's all said and done he's prolly not going to be in the top 150. But, yeah, my primary problem is I've said forever that I really want an impact pg/combo in this class. As chum has repeatedly pointed out, Frank seems to be happy with the guys we have there. And, the fact that we have arguably already oversigned tells me our only hope at signing a pg/combo is in the late stages once we've jettisoned some losers....which means we aren't getting a highly rated pg/combo.
I certainly get where you're coming from re: impact pg/combo guard. I hope the guys we have develop into playmakers, but outside of Pullen and McGruder, we're pretty unproven.
With a guy like Gipson, though, I think it's a bit superficial to get amped amped up about his player ranking. He sucks if he's not in the top-100, but he's good if he's in the top-100? The fact is that the guy has offers from 5-6 solid BCS schools. Obviously, he's a valuable player. And when these HS kids get on a college campus, all bets are off. See Judge (5*) v. Pullen (3*).
