Too bad nobody can see the class except those in that world.

You should get the pick of the litter coming off a national championship run.

I'll sum up the (freshmen) class for you

PG - 58 ath 92 spd 32 reb 74 def 13 sb 19 lp 44 per 89 bh 92 p 45 we 69 st 66 du
In my opinion this is an above average PG at best.

SG- 64 ath 80 spd 30 reb 79 def 7 sb 22 lp 88 per 63 bh 89 p 77 we 68 st 65 du
once again above average at best considering the ball handling

SF - 87 ath 70 spd 39 def 79 def 42 sb 70 lp 66 per 51 bh 69 p 64 st 53 du
great but lacks the rebounding to be elite.

PF - 51 ath 60 spd 77 reb 94 def 71 sb 80 lp 11 per 35 bh 27 p 41 we 65 st 71 du
above average, lacks ath and perimeter to be great/elite.

PF - 49 ath 60 spd 80 reb 94 def 74 sb 80 lp 48 per 27 bh 38 p 38 we 64 st 49 du
great but lacks the ATH to be elite

C - 46 ath 41 spd 90 reb 94 def 80 sb 90 lp 1 per 20 bh 47 p 77 we 53 st 94 du
ineligible, lacks the ATH to be great.

this is a VERY VERY good class. however its not the best of all time.

Basically agree with you tanner. IMO most pgs are all the same except for the few Elites that have max ath/spd and great per.

sf can still be elite with a midrange reb as well.

Neither of those PFs wow me and Cs never do.

My season 12 recruiting class in Phelan had 7 top 10 draft picks. Unfortunately, they were a bunch of chokers.

If only that were true.

no offense, but i am not sure that is even as good as the average best recruiting class in a single season (in a single world). definitely a good class though. i just think the ceiling is quite a bit higher.

Great recruiting class, but I think I had a better class than that my first year in Knight D1, and they were all 4-stars.

Of course, it was just me and tbrown in D1 that season, so I got to pick basically any player I wanted.

good review tanner, but the overall level of recruits isn't the same as it was a couple seasons back. Here are the rankings for this class, every player was Top 10 at their position. The worst was the #45 overall.

to me, there is no way to even begin to evaluate a player or class unless you know thier potentials.

arg. I can't find a format that will work for these damn threads.

I'll keep trying

(FWIW, I like the class a lot, but I'm not thinking best ever by any means)
