Would an overall rating of 450 be the same for DivII & DivIII?

yes, ratings mean the same in every division

In theory yes, but certain ratings will perform much better in lower divisions. Like a 90 speed guy will be a better player in D3 than a 90 speed at D1 due to so many guys being 90 speed. In fact I can say with a pretty good amount of confidence that if the only above average rating a D3 perimeter player was his 90 speed he'd still be a good player.

So if I just drafted(Recruited, for the typo obsessive) a guard who, using conservative estimates for potential, could end up

Speed: 86 - 99 (Speed 65, high potential)
ATH: 43 - 56 (ATH 36, Avg potential)
PASS: 70 - 83 (Pass 49, High potential)
BH: 30 - 43 (BH 23, Average potential)
PER: 34 - 47 (Per: 27, Average potential)
DEF: 37 - 50 (Def: 30, Average potential)

Good prospect? The low BH worries me, but I couldn't pass up on a 65 speed with high potential combined with the 49 passing with high potential at dIII. . . especially on a team largely running a fast-break/press.

when did HD let coaches start drafting?

Why is that typo even remotely relevant? Obviously meant recruited. Said drafted. Whoops.

maybe you found some sort of loophole, no need to be so defensive.

That's an awful guard - he can't take care of the ball or shoot. No matter how fast he is, the guy can't play basketball.

This is division three, not division one. There is, or so I have been told, a difference.

That guard will be above avg in d3

when recruiting for my DIII team, I start looking at 50 for BH and P as a minimum for PG, for SG will possibly drop in the 40's for BH and P as long as PER is in the 50's

Been awhile since I've had a D3 team, but I would think that his speed will cover up alot of the other problems he may have.

If it is a press as well, with a fast break? Would that make a difference, given how impressive

well above average.

once he matures, there is not a team in d3 that wouldnt love to have him and he would start for the majoirty.

the key difference between him being a pretty good player and a really good player will be getting every last point that you can in his BH and PE. i dont agree that bh will kill him, even at 30something, but if you can get that and the PE to mid40ish, the kid starts to look reeeeal good.

i wouldnt worry as much about the def and pass.

good luck
