That is a crazy difference from the shoulder up

i noticed that and it makes me wonder what the difference is when they both raise their hands straight up in the air.

Doesn't Prince have like a 7 foot wingspan? Not sure what Hardnetts is but 7ft for a guy 6'5 or 6-6 is pretty good.

It's typically a 17 year old kid surrounded by idiot handlers. Take the afternoon and go meet the kid and his family, watch a practice or a game, and see what happens. I have networking lunches on the regular with less upside. Plus if you don't have an in with a particular recruit, the HS or AAU coach might be a good relationship to build in the future. Someone from UC should meet a tri-state 3-star and above prospect no matter what.

I've never seen handlers and im around tons of players. The person you described to go meet family is what I would call a handler and that doesn't happen unless its somebody getting a free interview, then go charge for what was talked about. Family members aren't handlers at all. No college coach or media person wake up at 5am and go workout with high school kids.

That’s what I wondered. Depending on wingspan it could be close. Also vertical would come into play

Zach Harvey is why Hardnett left?

Rumor is that Zach Harvey has been on campus since the 16th and has not left and is reclassifying to 2019. This is why we got rid of Hardnett. Harvey is a big time recruit that is on USA basketballs junior national team. Anyone heard anything on this other than Mo Egger on the radio saying UC Basketball has some big time news coming soon??? Any truth that we are signing him soon??
