2019 Rivals 150: https://n.rivals.com/prospect_rankings/rivals150/2019

Here are Bossi, Corey Evans and Dan McDonald discussing the new rankings: https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/...d-rankings

Wiseman is #2. Matthew Hurt is #5. New Jersey teammates Bryan Antoine and Scottie Lewis are #8 & #11. Jalen Lecque is #9. Trendon Watford from Birmingham is #12.

As to the Memphis guys besides Wiseman, they mostly dropped. DJ Jeffries dropped 6 slots to #53. Chandler continues to drop, down 24 spaces to #73. Dude Collum up 1 space to #93. Malcolm Dandridge down 17 slots to #119.

Thanks for posting.

I'll say this: when Penny told us he was going head to head with the bluebloods for the very best players, he wasn't kidding.

I've seen Patrick McCaffery play as he played my daughter's high school in State last month. Maybe it was a bad game for him but I was not impressed. Not that he would go to the Tigers as he will be playing for his dad at Iowa but I am beyond shocked he is ranked that high.

Dandridge dropped 18 spots to a 3 star? No way that's right, he is getting better. Obviously others are as well, but he is highly underrated imo. Will be a really good player in college.

So,
Wiseman 2
Jefferies 53
Lawson 73
Collum 93
Dandridge 119

Not a single top 150 player in the rest of the state of Tennessee.

Also, Nickelberry's relative (brother?) Josh Nickelberry at #64,

So, who is Antavion Collum, did I miss the thread, is Penny interested, is he bound for somewhere else???

Josh is David's cousin.

Dude Collum gets mentioned occasionally, but it's low key. I don't know about his sitch. Jason Smith loves the kid.

What AAU team does he play for?

Is Wiseman really 7'? I don't recall seeing this before.

CP3 out of North Carolina

if anyone wants to see the team rosters and the Nike EYBL circuit schedule you can see it along with other info in this link. Bluff City is profiled.

Memphis just offered Trendon Watford.

Guys dropping because others are getting exposure as they get older. Not a huge deal. Legends will be one of the top teams at EYBL. I predict they will all creep back up by the end of summer.

They are going to need to improve their guard play.

With a name like Dude we have to sign that kid.

I'm shocked that Antavian Collum is ranked that high honestly.
I know him and his mom well. Good kid, fantastic mom. He's a good player, pushing 6-8 and at least 210, and has talent, but shocked he's rated that high. He left East because he could play guard at TN Prep but he's not a guard. Not at this level. If we sign him he'll be a complimentary player.

Maybe he’s improved since the last time you’ve seen him?

He's a good player. Versatile with size, no doubt. Great kid too, as I said. Dominates smaller guys and looks great doing it. Against guys his size he comes back to earth quickly.
Good player, yes. Really good/dominant, probably not.

Lawson's rating is weird. He's surrounded by 4 stars. His ranking warrants being a 4 stars. But they have him listed as a 5 star? Maybe they're saying he's a 5 star talent but he's just in a slump right now.

Also Wiseman is definitely the #1 player. What he does, how he does it, Carey can't compare. Wiseman will definitely be the better pro based on his modern set of skills.

2019 Rivals 150: https://n.rivals.com/prospect_rankings/rivals150/2019

Here are Bossi, Corey Evans and Dan McDonald discussing the new rankings: https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/...d-rankings

Wiseman is #2. Matthew Hurt is #5. New Jersey teammates Bryan Antoine and Scottie Lewis are #8 & #11. Jalen Lecque is #9. Trendon Watford from Birmingham is #12.

As to the Memphis guys besides Wiseman, they mostly dropped. DJ Jeffries dropped 6 slots to #53. Chandler continues to drop, down 24 spaces to #73. Dude Collum up 1 space to #93. Malcolm Dandridge down 17 slots to #119.

Dropping Dandridge is ridiculous. I guess they’ll have to turn around and raise his rankings because he’s playing very well this weekend in Dallas. Scoring and rebounding well. I believe he had 19 rebounds one game.
