At what point does a high school rating cease to be relevant?

It's irrelevant to me now, other than as a point of reference that at one time he had the goods. To me, this is all about him. There's a fabulous opportunity here to show his skills if he puts in the work and, yes, shows some leadership qualities. When's he come to campus? What's his offseason workout regimen going to be? Will he follow it diligently? Can they hook him up with someone like Trey Freeman? Can he work with ODU strength and conditioning? How hungry is he to prove himself?

Those are the questions I'd like to get answers to, and they'll tell a lot about this season's prospects.

I think there is one more big question. Can JJ figure out how to deal with a 7'1" center and actually be willing to play him.

He did help coach Ralph Sampson, didn't he?
