Following Potential 2025 Draftees

Is the 2024 NCAAB freshman class abnormally productive this year? I dont always follow this closely, but it feels like it is.

I'm sure once conference play starts the production might taper off.

I've been thinking about this, and still not sure how this Freshman class compares to previous ones, but it's obviously very good.

I think the answer why is obviously NIL. You don't see guys going alternative routes as much any more, and it feels like more of the top Europeans are coming here to play college ball.

The other factor, I'm not sure about, is if we have less of the 5 and 6 year guys playing now? I believe the Covid exceptions are done now, but not sure?
 
And then you go too far.
IDK, he's just hyper skilled in a way no one else in this class is. It's extremely rare to see a Euro make the European to College transition so seamlessly with having no American HS experience.

He's got great PG size. He's got elite shooting. Elite passing. Elite rebounder. He has over a 50% 3pt rate and over a 50% FTR. He's shown to be a better defender than Harper so far this season. He's playing well against the good teams he faces. He's crafty as hell. He's a true PG and one who could probably stand to shoot the ball a lot more than he does, but he likes to playmake and set others up. Only knock on him is he isnt a high level athlete.

I dont think Leif is that far off when he called him College Doncic.

I strongly disagree on the defense part, but I'm mostly going off of the Cashiggy videos, so maybe I'm not seeing enough.

I have been thinking about this as well. I don’t know if I’m tripping but I’d be very happy to end up with like 4-5 guys at the moment.
 
The crazy thing about Kasparas is that he's still 18 and he's got an extremely mature game as a floor general.

A lot of the class on top is very young, so not as big of a standout as usual in terms of age, but still very young.
