kstate fans have an irrational aversion to hoopscoop.

Still burned by the #1 class in the nation, "Wooldridge is turning this thing around", etc.

I mean, just look at this:

Quote
Wednesday, November 20, 2002

The HOOP SCOOP has confirmed that Kansas State has landed 6'8 Jeremiah Massey from Oxnard (JC) CA, who is ranked as the #2 power forward in the junior college ranks by Lindy's Basketball Pre-Season Yearbook and as the #8 power forward in the junior college ranks by the Sporting News Pre-Season Yearbook.  This is big, because Massey is exactly what the Wildcats will need to replace 6'9 Jr Previs Pasco inside a year from now.  Actually Massey, who both scores and rebounds well around the basket, is better offensively right now than Pasco and, as a result, it continues to look like it's only a matter of time before Kansas State head coach Jim Wooldridge elevates the Wildcats into one of the powerhouse teams in the tough Big-12 Conference.  If you will recall, two years ago Kansas State had the 19th best recruiting class by the HOOP SCOOP and a year ago they followed that up with the 10th best recruiting class, which explains why Kansas State has the 13th highest talent rating in the nation based on our Exclusive HOOP SCOOP Talent Ratings for all Teams in the Top 10 Division I Conferences.   It also explains why we think this may be one of the biggest sleepers in the college basketball this season.  And this year Kansas State appears to be on the verge of its third straight top 20 recruiting class, as they currently have the #11-ranked recruiting class in the nation on our list of the Top Recruiting Classes To-Date for the Class of 2003.  If you will recall, we've already reported that they had verbal commitments from 5'7 Dez Willingham from De Soto (H.S.) TX, 6'8 Cartier Martin from Aldine (Nimitz) TX, and 6'4 Lance Harris from Columbia (Hickman) MO, but we also have learned that the Wildcats have landed 6'10 Tyler Hughes from Olathe (North Olathe) KS.  Which means Kansas State should continue to improve a year from now, despite the fact three starters - Pasco, 6'8 Sr Matt Siebrandt, and 6'5 Gilson DeJesus - will graduate after this season.  In addition to Massey, who will step into Pasco's spot, 6'7 Frosh Marques Hayden should be ready to take over for Siebrandt; Martin, Harris, and 6'3 Jr Tim Ellis all will get playing time at both the two and the three spots; and the backcourt should be terrific with 6'2 Jr Frank Richards, who is ranked as the #3 incoming junior college point guard by Sporting News Pre-Season Yearbook, and 6'4 Jarrett Hart, who is ranked as the #4 incoming junior college shooting guard by Sporting News Pre-Season Yearbook, and Willingham, who is ranked #37 nationally in the senior class by the HOOP SCOOP.  In other words, it should be only a matter of time before everybody else starts jumping on this bandwagon. 


Sounds like you guys are gonna be pretty awesome in 03..

reported offer to a 2012 shooting guard.  kind of a surprise, though a year ago kstate seemed like they were looking for a wing in the 2012 class.

aau teammate of k. hill, formerly coached by pastrana.

Graham had 13 for the Florida Rams Black in the finals of the Adidas Invite that was televised last week. I wasn't paying real close attention to Graham but I do remember him knocking a couple jumpers from deep, would definitely fall under "designated shooter" category: (Link previously posted but the focus is different this time)

"The climax of the adidas Invitational Tournament was the U17 championship game. No one would have predicted New Heights and Florida Rams Black for the final two contestants, but that is what happened. The Rams out lasted New Heights 89-82 behind the sterling play of Hill, who slashed and dashed his way to a game-high 28. 2012 shooter Dillon Graham (Orlando/ First Academy) chipped in 13. 2012 SF Joel Angus (Brooklyn/ Bishop Loughlin) led New Heights with 19."

7/8 update from Adidas Invitational:

"Dillon Graham, SG, Florida Rams – If you need a shooter, this is your guy. For the Florida Rams Black, Graham had it all working with his shooting stroke. He was getting open and knocking in shots from out to 25 feet, and showing that he can also get open by moving well without the ball. Graham is more than just a shooter as he can move laterally and also has an adequate handle, but he will make his name firing from deep."
