I think there is some unwritten rule that every good athlete from alaska must have that nickname.

NORTH CAROLINA'S Freshman class this year (HS '20) Is going to be the best class they've pulled in the 2000's.
Day'Ron Sharpe is already committed, but thats just the tip of the iceberg. they are gonna land a MONSTER haul this year. No doubt about it.
Ziaire Williams who I've posted about several times already in this thread, who's a west-coast kid, is supposed to be a heavy UNC lean..
Cam Johnson, who the suns just took in the lottery, also has a brother who goes by Puff, who's about 6'8 and can shoot it..
They will end up loaded all 5- positions tho, i'm calling it now..
Jaden Springer 6'3" combo guard is the top ranked player in the state of North Carolina this year, and he's quite good and they offered on him long ago..

While this is bumped, I just wanna predict a player comparison that will be thrown around in the media. Cade Cunningham i think they will compare to Ben Simmons...
He's going to go very, very high... now, his shot isn't broken like ben's and he's 3" shorter.
Whats important is an NBA team is going to take him very high and put the ball in his hands and u can plug in scoring guards at "PG" next to him.... so basically utah would love to have him, but he's gonna be WAY out of range..
I actually think Cade is better than BEn Simmons.. He's gonna eat from day 1 on an NBA team that was bad the year before.. In a scenario like that why wouldnt u unleash Cade with heavy minutes as a rookie? he's gonna be like a 4:1 or better on the ROY type player.
Cade Cunningham ofc also qualifies for the "better than Hayward" distinction, which I promise to keep pointing out SF's better than Hayward for the duration of my stay here. LOL. this one isn't even close...
This kid would get drafted top-5 straight outa HS. the 1-n-done rule restricts a player like this.

The top ranked player in the state of Utah HS c/o '20 Mady Sissoko, 6'8" C at Wasatch Academy is obviously gonna be a pro in some form too. He's earned a shout in this thread.
His wingspan looks like it's about 7'5" to me..... Obviously u can see that on this video he's quite the lob target...

I'll throw in another 4-star sleeper thats caught my attention. I think Tony Bennett might have found his Ty Jerome replacement with Reece Beekman 2020. He seems to have promise and a well rounded game.
In this video #1 on his team the big kid thats the aforementioned Jalen Johnson who just committed to duke..

Score one for me early in this thread with the call on Ziare Williams, He got a Duke offer, he's gonna go anywhere he wants.. He's cemented in the top-10. Saw that coming.

c'mon son. Mind u - I'm a NY'er, this is a west coast kid were talkin bout. I fired off the initial warning shot here last summer when he was ranked 40-60ish. There is a strong regional aspect to this whole thing. Even in a region as strong as Cali tho, a kid like this was glaringly underrated..
this is precisely the type of call that i am deadly accurate with and have been for years.. and honestly no one here can even touch my accuracy on consistently making calls like these... i've been here process of eliminating down 4-star prospects with NBA size/athletecism/skillsets/potential for years...
it's a matter of pedigree or precedent. there's certain combinations i'm able to sleuth out just a lil quicker, tall athletic lanky wings who can truly create offense like Zaire Williams fit the mold with ease.

BJ Boston to UK!!!
@Dr. Jones Very excited about this. I'll be shocked if he doesnt end up in the top-20.
Bigtime pull. Been tracking his story for a whilenow, his J has always looked real good, he's always looked very confident and cool..
always thought he reminded me of a SG sized Brandon Ingram... He has very real ball-skills and a skillset to create offense, like Ingram. Thats part of the appeal, why he's gonna go high, that pull-up J.
I am a big believer in the Georgia, specifically Atlanta, recruiting hotspot/pipeline, and this kid was one I knew was legit in part because of that. There is a lot of bias in recruting, some too much for the south, but i'm convinced just from tracking it closely y-o-y that states like Georgia, Texas and Florida are actually so chock full of talent sleepers emerge constantly and some of the top tier guys are truly top tier (like Boston..)
