     First let me start off by thanking everyone at this fourm (especially Aran and his staff) for not going "crazy" when I post through this.  I love the game of basketball and I enjoy to see what educated fans such as yourselves think about the game.  I consider NBAdraft.net my true "home" for basketball chat and knowledge.  I have however, went on to some other sports chat fourms to talk basketball through my site..did not go very smoothly to say the least…lol…already got banned from one fourm and got into a heated debate with some "regulars" on another…lol…I am not trying to sell anything…just trying to relay pertenit basketball information…anyways….thanks again!!!

    This article is 10 high school freshmen to watch in the class of 2015.  This is by no means the "be all end all" of players.  This is just 10 names from the class of 2015 worth keeping an eye on ( IMO)

    Once again if you click on the players names and other highlighted areas you can see videos and other interesting links.  I also installed a TRANSLATOR on the site, but obviously everyone can read english.  It’s just cool to look at in Korean sometimes…LOL…anyways…here are 10 FRESH FACES!!!

    You better hope he never sees your rankings 🙂 I liked them though, all very intriguing prospects. Who knows what the future holds, not to mention whether Karl Towns Jr. decides he likes baseball more or Mickey Mitchell wants to play QB. Both of them are really good right now though, that is for sure.

    About having to build him up because of his height is what really gets me. That is just awful, I mean, he seems like a complete crazy person. I really wish Jerron the best, but his dad is putting WAY to much pressure on him and going completely overboard with his tactics. Making rankings out of spite and putting Jerron at the top, getting the guy to make a phone app and articles with him. That is out of control, shady to the nth degree type stuff. Really hard to take him seriously now. I honestly like the fact that ESPN sort of waits to evaluate players until a later age, gives them time to develop and less crazy rankings that favor people that grew the fastest. Seems like many of the best players down the line actually grow as players, along with height, over time. Meanwhile, many of the top ranked guys rarely grow that much more than they have already. Of course, depends when you rank them, but I really find this for 9th and 10th grade rankings. If you rank them before than, the odds are that they will still definitely be growing, but you will probably have left out a bunch of players who have yet to gain national attention.

     I agree…100 percent…Jerry Love is seeing $$$$…and he is pushing the envelope way 2 much….I however feel that evaluating young talent and putting together some form of un-bias ranking system (if possible) is not completely a bad thing
