I imagine the staff and Fletch have come up with a plan to try to get him to fill out a bit before getting on campus. From what I've seen of Frazier so far he is off to a good start this season. He doesn't need to be built like a truck, but having enough size to take a bump and still finish would be good.
For comparison jaylon Tate is currently listed at 6'3 170. Our concerns regarding Tate have nothing to do with his build. Frazier might just be ok when he gets in.
Agreed. What I also like is that he has some bounce to him.

Meh, I'm 6'2" and 195, but I guarantee that Trent Frazier is better suited physically to play high-major point guard than I am.
I'm 6' 7 260 but I am made of pure buffalo chicken wings and Busch light, and I feel like I was a waste of size

A proper strength & conditioning program will do wonders for Frazier. Kid has a high upside.
Haha, now we're talking
Nope.
None of the signed players will see their rankings change significantly. Their AAU careers are over and that's where rankings are made. Tilmon might get a bump since he wasn't able to play AAU this past summer due to his injury, so many some big HS numbers would get people's attention.
But he's the only potential burger boy for us.
Yeah even if a guy has a MONSTER senior season his ranking won't move much. Once guys get into their senior year the scouts don't really focus on them anymore and not much really happens. There are a few very rare exceptions, but I wouldn't expect to see any of the guys move a ton. I
That seems to be more of a trend that top tier guys wait until Spring. It makes sense for them, since for a lot of those guys, whatever school they pick will make room for them no matter what.

Not only that, by waiting, they get to see who's leaving. Hence, eliminating that uncertainty. For kids that fancy themselves 1-2 year players, that cannot be minimized. FWIW, I think deferring til the late signing period is the smart play for these kids. At least those considering hoops powerhouses. Either that or not signing at all.
Yeah, it's been said many times on here, but no real value for them to sign an LOI at all.
Zion Williamson. Wow.
Maybe Groce can give the same pitch as Western Ky??

They also landed a top 10 prospect in 2017. Certainly don't want to accuse them of wrong-doing, but this does make you raise an eyebrow. Very SLU-esque.

Stansbury is on a completely different level (universe?) than Ford.
Stansbury cemented his position as the dirtiest pig in the pen when he won the Renardo Sidney recruitment back in the day.
Sandy Cohen III a former top 100 player is leaving Marquette. Dont know reason for his leaving program it could be wanting more time as it seemed he was not going to be playing much.
