When do we get another 5* recruit? By the end of the decade? 2025? We have had 3 in the last 15 years, right? CP, AFA, and Walker

Feel like Walker could have had a different career with Skip.

Ty wasn't a consensus 5 star. He was only a few spots about Woods in RSCI. If I remember correctly, he sat the bench on his AAU team and there was a pretty wide disparity on what people thought his potential was.
That's not to say he didn't suck or shouldn't have been much better than he was. He simply didn't work hard enough. It's on him.
Christian Brown, PF — Brown struggled some with minor injuries but continued to play, anyway, and the baby-faced freshman will be a featured name within the state for the years to come. He’s a broad-shouldered athlete with good hands, straight-up leaping ability, a blue collar style and desire to compete. He may fill out into more of a hybrid forward than a combo — and he needs to improve his shooting — while others disagree with that assessment and believe he’ll evolve into a wing. At any rate, he’s clearly a prospect for high-major programs to track.
A.C. Flora forward Christian Brown caught our eye in drills, so much that I wrote his number on my hand. As luck would have it we caught him in a matchup that pitted him against Juwan Gary on multiple sequences. This matchup was the key one I wanted to see and the young 2019 studs went at one another in a big way. Brown plays with more energy and that paired with the ability to sky and a shot that is adequate he's got a lot of skills that scream at you. Really enjoyed his effort and ability to draw and take contact. Right now I don't know if I'd try to pin a position on him being so young but I can say he's a definite star if he continues to work on facets of his game during these next four seasons. I would expect him and Gary to be national level talents sooner than later. We'll catch up with Brown for an interview this week to see which schools are showing early interest.
Christian Brown, PF — A Columbia, S.C., product, Brown rapidly is making his case one of the best overall freshmen talents in the Southeast. The 6-7 forward is more of a 4/3 right now but could transition into a 3/4 over time. Regardless of his position, Brown is a fine athlete whose understanding of how he can be effective belies his years. He plays with a confidence and maturity that are highly impressive, while of course he must cultivate a more expansive skill set over the next several years. Of course, he also may keep growing and become a true post player, and the only real certainty from here is that he’ll continue adding his name to major conference radars.

From Phenom Hoop Report National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw: While he is the youngest player on the team, he is also perhaps the best basketball prospect in the entire state of South Carolina. 6’7” Freshman Christian Brown has special written all over him. He is gifted with easy athleticism put on a long, broad shouldered 6’7” frame. He has the ability to handle in the half court, the confidence to speak up in the huddle, and most impressively the work ethic to improve each time on the court. Brown works his tail off, and is a national level Top 100 type recruit. The sky is the limit for this one.
And which one won the Mr. Hustle award?Is he the white guy or the black guy in the photo?
I've said the same... Agreed!Feel like Walker could have had a different career with Skip.
Is this true? I thought he was a pretty integral part of a state championship squad and set some sort of record for blocksTy wasn't a consensus 5 star. He was only a few spots about Woods in RSCI.

I think he did. He is a great shot blocker. He was at Wake too. Sucked at pretty much everything else.
He was on a loaded Boo Williams AAU team and played behind Ed Davis, it looks like. My only point was that he was not regarded as highly as CP and Aminu. He was more comparable to Woods and Big E (High 4 Stars). Big E was a surprise in making the McDAA team given his ranking but I don't recall many being shocked that Ty didn't make it.
