I am in a low D1 conference (Southland) With nicholls St. and my roster is lining up to take a Guard RS next season and as of right now I don't have a pure point guard I'm happy with. Especially running Motion, I dont want to post the actual recruit yet because recruiting has yet to start in my world however his potentials look good I just have a concern.

He is a PG and his BH with potential will be 80+ Pass 90+ Perimeter 80+ Speed 75+ ATH 60+ DEF 60+....

My issue is that last number in defense. I really like to shoot for guys that will go 70+ without knowing value of high's however he sits on a DEF on average that will get over 60 but i highly doubt over 70... Is this guy viable? He can easily become a pure point with the other ratings but DEF scares me with him... Thanks everyone!

I think so. He will be low at ATH, DEF, IMO. But if you are not playing man to man, you can hide him in zone or hope his speed will be enough for press. He will be a solid passer and will score some, against weak defender or press teams.

He would be a decent backup. 

For a low D1, I'd take him. Marginal starter, solid backup. 

As of now ive struggled against press and without a real solid point my motion seems to be more lack luster too, i do run man but my front big 3 are the best def big 3 in the conf with average of 92 def so i can definitly play + to help him out... I think he will take the RS too which will be perfect

Similar question here. Just took over D1 Cal PS in Phelan. This is my first time in D1, so will need to learn what a good low level D1 player looks like at each position. My first decision will be whether to keep or cut this PG:
Barton Erby, Soph, with potentials that will end up putting him around 58 Ath, 90+ Spd, 60 Def, 70 Per, 75 BH, 90 Pass, 80 Sta  www.whatifsports.com/hd/PlayerProfile/RatingsHistory.aspx 
I already have 9 scholarships to fill, so would keep him if he would make at least a decent backup at this level, but will cut him if he's just dead weight.

Also, can anyone point me to a listing of the categories ratings ranges (or at least the lowest acceptable ratings) for the different positions I need to have for my players in order to put together a solid low level D1 team?   

to me he'll be just fine at PG,  let him be a pass first guy and fill him up with guys that can score around him.  most teams wont have an elite scoring PG so I wouldnt be too worried about his defense
