Yancey Gates is amazing, he will be a stud anywhere he goes, same thing with Buford he is skyrocketing right now. I hop we can get these guys.

I agree with Gates, but I think his ranking is more on potential and not production at this point. I think Roe is passing him on the chart right now, but once Gates puts it all togehter it could make for an interesting battle to see who the better of the two are. It would be a dream to land two big time PF's like that, but there is no way they would both attend the same school.

Gates is more talented than Roe, but Roe has that drive to be great, and plays with alot more intensity and effort than Gates. Gates seems to cruise by with physical dominance and athleticism while avoiding banging/battling down low while Roe will do the dirty work and mix it up and do the little things you need to win. If gates decides he wants to be great, he's the better player of the two, but if not i'll take Roe and his high effort game

Another player who's stock is rising fast this summer is Humpty Hitchens the PG from Chillicothe. This class is absolutely loaded but he's starting to establish himself as the best Ohio PG in the 2008 class. 19 ppg as a soph, but a true point who loves to distribute the rock. Schools interested include UC, Xavier, Memphis, and Michigan, and as of the OSU team camp, OSU, thanks to a 20 pt. 20 assists (not exagerrated) performance against Jon Diebler and Upper Sandusky with OSU asst. coach Peters watching courtside.

Now that's a class! Even though one player is unranked. I think maybe the reason Crater was unranked was because of where he played this past season and just think if Offult would have been healthy this past season.

Still think it is ridiculous the way that Crater dropped like he did...

On a side note the class of Ohio had to of been the best ever...

Mullens, Buford, Gates, and Roe all as 5 stars and Frease as a 4 star as the 42nd player in the country...
