In terms of answering your question re. St Thomas talent….. here ya go.

The Tommies signing class of 2022 student athletes is ranked #52 of 368 schools according to Rivals.com. Additionally, only three of the top-50 ranked classes are mid-major schools. I believe their recruiting class was ranked higher then St Johns.

In terms of individual talent… Ahjany Lee from the 22 class is 4 star on all sites and Carter Bjerke on some sites is a 4 star as well.

Look, there’s an fraud on this site that says everything i say has no merit just to constantly start crap and has been given the go ahead to do so cause of his longevity on the site, but I don’t make things up.

In terms of something you said to overhype, well when you say that I’m undermining StJohns competition, then you are implying that Merrimack may have been good.

Ahjany Lee isn't a four star on any site and neither is Carter Bjerke. So, who's the fraud, liar?

If so, prove it by providing a link.

STOP!

Stop? Mase and I are having a civil conversation/disagreement regarding the teams strength of OOC schedule. Where is the issue?

Thanks for the info. Didn’t assume you had made anything up. I was surprised that they would have a few four star recruits. Everything I saw had Ahjany Lee as a 3 star who at one point was a 4 star. Couldn’t find Bjerke on a quick search. I don’t get caught up on rankings but getting a kid there who’s even in that 3/4* realm is impressive. Good for them. There class finished a little lower than the 52 they were at one point but still 67 (slightly behind us) is impressive. https://247sports.com/Season/2022-Basketball/CompositeTeamRankings/

My reference about the teams on our schedule potentially being better than they were advertised was about our future opponents. You’ve mentioned over and over how poor our schedule is, but also pointed out that maybe the teams other teams are facing are better than they’re supposed to be. My only point is, why couldn’t that be the case with the teams on our schedule as well?

Yes it was the fall of 2021 before recruiting was complete.

Final ranking by rivals was 58. Still impressive.

Agree, especially cause they were a D3 program a few years prior. To play a pre season top 10 team that close at their place, they must be doing something right.

I think there is a concept in law regarding "fighting words". Knight posted "Stop" after someone used the accusation "liar" in this thread. For some people "liar" fits the fighting words definition.
