We need his 3 point shooting this year!!!

Definitely the best player in the state.

Todd, why hasn't he been evaluated and ranked by 247 yet??

Because he committed to IA, there's no need for evaluation to hype the program. He'll just show us the goods next year in person.

After the way this team shot against Purdue, there is little doubt in my mind that Jok will get a nice amount of minutes next year. Fran said that Ogelsby doesn't miss in practice. Well, he misses in games. A lot. Wide open or with a hand in his face. I don't get how you can be labeled a sharp shooter, but shoot so poorly. Now he is afraid to take open looks, which completely defeats the purpose of him playing.

Thanks Lao ....seems like they could find a couple of hours to do that sooner, but whatever, I'm confident he'll end up with an appropriate grade based on the year he's having

Interesting that they have him as a small forward and not as a shooting guard. No matter, he helped his team to another close win in OT over DM North last night with 29 pts (four 3s). He signed with IA so it's a 76, if he had signed with a more recognized school, then it's at least +10 pts.

I agree, he definitely would have gotten the "bonus" points if he'd been recruited by UNC, Kansas or sparty....but still, to have him at a '76' after re-evaluating him, that's just terrible analysis. I'm not saying he's back to the level he was as a freshman prospect, with the spring/explosion, but he's back to 90-95% of that. He was once listed as a Top 5 prospect, not at his position or in the state, a Top 5 prospect....period. That means he was projected as a 95+ grade. Doing simple math, 90% of 95 is 85.5 ...and that's where he should be graded at minimum.

A '76' grade, according to ESPN:

70-79: Mid-major plus prospect (3 stars)
Player is a fringe high-major recruit who contributes or a standout mid-level recruit.

A '85' grade, according to ESPN:

85-89: High-major prospect (4 stars)
Player is the centerpiece to a high-major program who starts three to four years.

Which one do you all think is a better description of Jok?

In Fran We Trust.

Okay, Mr. Iowa is #3, that makes sense. IA fans will see next season. Go Hawks!

He's rated an 89 by 247. Like you said, the Composite score is higher because of how some of the other sites rated him.

Those guys are higher because of Sky's ratings on them.

Yes, Fran, you need to offer Dondre and Morgan. Heck, Lohaus too. Silly man.
