Does it help or hurt Shannon's ranking that he spent the summer playing with 2 potential Burger boys? I suppose it would help scouts gain familiarity with his game, but do you suppose playing with Khalil Whitney and Adam Miller might make him look worse in comparison?

Or, they can help him look better, as he doesn't have to do too much and carry the team. Just a thought.

If we are really reading into it, he obviously enjoyed UI more because he took the time to put the orange and blue diamond emojis

The rankings is what makes me say that.

Tevian Jones has a better highlight video, but the things you see in a highlight video only make up part of what makes a complete basketball player. Shannon was impacting games in multiple ways at both ends of the floor against excellent competition in the CPL and with MIF. And is no slouch hurting the rim in a highlight video either.

I'm a believer in letting the available data speak, and things like the RSCI and 247 composite are the best we've got. But I would be very excited for both guys.

Obviously landing Shannon wouldn't obviate our need for multiple frontcourt players in this class. That's the critical mission. But any time you've got a chance to get an impact talent, and a Chicago one at that, it's reason for excitement.


Have you actually watched tevian jones game tape?

Shannon may be ranked higher in Rivals compared to Jones(up until a couple weeks ago), but otherwise idk where this is coming from. Tevian has been consistently ranked by the services throughout his HS career and had 10+ offers. Shannon wasn't on the map until real late. He is also every bit as athletic without major questions about his skill.

That's my point, how is there questions about his skill?? What are the questions you have?

You could read into it further by going to instagram! Not only did he give us emoji, he added exclamation points!! :unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure:

Awfully early to declare a POTD.

After reading the last 5 hours of posts I'm starting to get the sense that the OP might have known what he was talking about. Is it too early to call him an insider in a land void of insiders? Time will tell. In the meantime however I'm willing to give him my crystal ball until he anoints a new POTD favoring another school or one that is just flat out silly.

Agreed.
