I canât believe it took 4 pages for this to play.
Agreed. I guess what I'm saying is, as ineffective as Iti was, Reed was even more ineffective. Even if all Iti could do was dunk, that was more effective than Reed's jumpshot. If all Iti could do on defense is block shots, that's still more effective than Reed's non-block and also leaving his man wide open. Reed didn't even start most of the time.
Question. Was Tory Reed the highest ranking high school center coming out of high school? End of discussion.

It didnât. See Lacrosseâs post on Page 1 âŚ

No he wasnât, Reed played PF. :biggrin: Itiâs highest ranking was only by ONE recruiting service. Somebody else pointed out that Reed was ranked the #2 PF by another recruiting service. 1 vs 2, fairly comparable if you ask me. Iâve pointed out that I know Iti was ranked the #6 and #7 center in the country by another 2 recruiting services. If Reed was ranked the 5th best PF by the other recruiting services, then he would have a lowered combined ranking between the 3 different services than Iti.

I think its more important to consider what the fans expectations of someone are over what recruiting services say. When a player comes in with one service saying that he is the best center in the country and a top ten recruit overall, then that is what will be publicized over and over. Combining the servicesâ ratings of a player is pointless.
All Iâm going to say is, there is only one player at Charlotte who I have not liked. I may be off base in my reasoning, but I think not. He is the only person Iâve ever felt like was truly a cancer to our school.
That said, some players sure werenât as good as some people thought they would be, but I canât begrudge anyone who came to our school to play for us.

I wasnât aware Reed was ranked that high, I wasnât keeping up with it back then, but still. Iti was the biggest flop in 49er history. Hands down.

Would you be referencing Demon Brown?
No way, I was a big Demon fan and still am.

Weâre waiting⌠you canât just say something like that and leave us hanging.
Oh, I thought every one knew who I meantâŚ
Curtis Nash.
nash? i remember his mom (supposedly) posting on here.

Nevermind!

nash? i remember his mom (supposedly) posting on here.Yeah that led to some uh, heated conversations. Good thing the shoutbox wasn't around then.

I agree with that and thatâs what I said originally. I believe we as fans over hyped Iti, not the recruiting services.
Combining the services' ratings of a player is pointless.
??? I guess if you want to be naive its pointless. That would be like saying the AP poll was legit if they only had one sports writer creating the poll. To me, if one service has a player ranked #1 among centers and another site doesnât have that same player in the top 10, thatâs an immediate red flag.

they should make him the cheerleader and goldduster coach, attendance would triple
I remember trying to go in the basement of the Mineshaft/Belk Gym for meetings or workout in the old racquetball weight room, and I would see Stacia in tights, and my attention span would be toast the rest of the day.
1/2 the volleyball team looked like the pole vault thread
There have been several list threads about the best players in team history. This is the thread about the most disappointing players in team history. My list is just the guys that have been around in my time.Your list sucks. Beasley didnât even play here. How could he be a bust? Neither Mitch or Deangelo were close to being a bust. As a matter of fact Alexander had similar senior stats to Leemire. We all know how this board loves them some Leemire.
- Michael Beasley
- Martin Iti
- Carlos Williams
- Mitchell Baldwinâs senior year
- Deangelo Alexander (overall a good player, but certainly didnât fill the shoes left by Eddie and Plav)
