I went back and pulled up Season 65 numbers.
Black for me was ranked at 12.15 and I regret ignoring him. His stats didn't look so appealing in high school 13.5 pts, 3 rb, 3 apg, 1 stl, 1.3 to, 0.3 blpg
He turned out to be a +8 EGEEGF who's playing better in college.
18.4 ppg, 3.3 rb, 3.1 apg, 0.3 spg, 1.1 topg, 0.1 blpg
Bit higher TOs than desirable but ratio is good and he can score.
Thanks for the info. An 8.1 in my system is an elite player. He'd rate as the 3rd best PG in this class.
My system is different than yours. The post above shows how different factors affect a PG's stats. So in order to find out a player's true stats, you've got to see how PGs with the same ratings did and compare like that. Without getting into a long explanation of linear regression, I project what HS stats a player would have as a PG playing on a pretty good team (Good team ratings in every stat).
For example, Black's HS stats came on a team that was Exc shooting, which negatively affects a PG's scoring. This year's Boca HS senior average 15, 17, and 18 pts. Black didn't score because he didn't need to score.
I projected his "true" stats as 20.7 pts, 3.4 reb, 3.5 ast, 0.8 stl, 0.8 ast, 0.4 blk.
--------------------
Weirdest game I can remember. Picked up a 56-51 win over a 5-1 Decatur squad. Led the whole game and they closed the margin at the end. Weird to say in such a low scoring game. Decatur averages 63 pts/game. Duluth averages 74.
Duluth allowed 18 and 15 points to Decatur's SG and SF, 14 to the starting frontcourt and 4 pts to the bench. Decatur shot 21-47.
Meanwhile, Duluth was a one man team. SG Ernest Morin entered the game averaging around 25 pts/game, top 10 in the league. Decatur held him to 6 pts on 2-11 shooting. He was actually outscored by Sr bSG Xavier Medley with 8 points. He continues to be very steady averaging 7.4 pts in 14 min.
Sr Adam Cox carried the team in 36 minutes of play. He scored 26 pts on 9-14 shooting and 7-9 SF with 6 reb. I needed every point and every minute.
The weirdest thing about this game is that both teams hit 21 shots. Decatur had 9 ast and Duluth had 6.
No change in recruiting. I'm starting to feel very good. Ran some scrimmages for my net and I've got some fantastic possibilities at SF. I went into the season looking for help at PG and SG. I took a flier on a local big who was too effective of a scorer to pass up. Looking at my roster, I think I'm set for next year at SG and C. Hopefully one of my bigs will emerge from the pack at PF.
