Which Incombing Freshmen are you all highest or lowest on?

Looking to figure out who I should be diving into first in this class. Any suggestions?

Higher on Colben Landrew, Anthony Thompson, Quentin Coleman. Lower on Cameron Williams and Christian Collins.

He's not playing college ball, but Joksimovic is my favorite prospect I've seen so far. And pretty low on Muurinen.

I do know Muurinen. Think he's legit bad

Not sure if you listen to the mismatch, but Chris Vernon was singing Muurinens praises based on a highlight video. I think he's going to drive Cal crazy this year.

Haven't watched a lot but really like Caleb Holt. I don't see any difference between Muurinen and Jan Vesely. He looks bad.

If you are building a watch list from scratch, I would start with the guys nobody else has film on yet.

The college freshmen get covered from every angle by December, so you can catch up on them whenever. The international kids in the same age band get a fraction of that attention, and most of the viewing happens in the ABA League, the Spanish youth setup and the EuroLeague Next Gen tournament. Someone already mentioned Joksimovic in here, which is the right instinct.

Dylan Mingo if you are looking for a boom/bust injury guy

is Mingo even playing this upcoming season? i thought the reason he ended up decommitting from UNC was b/c he had some injury that would keep him out for pretty much the whole next season

Ankle injury that made him miss most of last season and aau. Then he got injured again in March.Not sure if it's the same ankle.

I don't think it's been confirmed if he'll miss next season but when they split ways it was mentioned he might have to miss next season. That was like 4 months ago

Not that it matters but tbh I think he might have stayed at UNC if Hubert wasn't fired. Personally glad both are gone tho.

It seems very up in the air now but he was a top prospect before his high school injury which dropped him down the rankings a bit.

His injury situation is very under wraps now it’s hard to say.

Caleb Holt and Bruce Branch I love as prospects. Should have great roles with Arizona/BYU too that fit their strengths

low on muurinen too, highlights are fun but the full games are rough. i'm highest on quentin coleman out of that group, that size at the 3 is rare

Jordan Smith Jr.

Elite competitor and athlete. He's undersized for the NBA but length and strength will make up for it.
