[Buffs Basketball Fan]

Stars are good for preseason hype and discussion.
Once November rolls around all that matters is can he play and produce on the court?

 

[BuffG]

You forgot Dallas Walton

 

[Buffnik]

You forgot Dallas Walton

Thanks. He was never put into the 247 database.

 

[buffaholic]

These lists always start the discussion, so I'll get started:

Most underrated:
Derrick White, Roberson and Dinwiddie. All should be long time pros.
Followed by George King, Carlon Brown, with Wesley Gordon in the next group, despite never reaching his potential.

Most overrated:
XJ and it's not close.
Then Namon Wright thus far in his career, but with time to turn that.
Then Collier.

Makes me more excited for next season

 

[BuffG]

Edit: Shannon Sharpe should also be included.

2 or 3 draft picks out of 7 previous recruiting classes
9 out of 28 previously active players left the program early
7 transferred into the program
5 never got significant playing time (Guz, Stalzer, Mills, Jenkins, Cain)
5 of the top 8 rated players will be on next season's team

 

[BuffG]

Let's rank Tad's recruits by how many wins they've brought to CU. Using total Win Shares from Sports-reference:

Inactive players:
1. Scott - 19 WS
2. Roberson - 13.7 WS
3. Dinwiddie - 12.3 WS
4. XJ - 10.8 WS
5. Wes - 10.6 WS
6. Ski - 10.6 WS
7. White - 5.9 WS
8. Carlon - 3.4 WS
9. Talton - 3.4 WS
10. Tre'Shaun - 3.3 WS
11. Fortune - 3.2 WS
12. Chen - 2.1 WS
13. Hopkins - 2.1 WS
***No other players earned 2 WS in their time at CU***

Active players:
1. King - 5.9 WS
2. Dom - 3.2 WS
3. Tory - 3.1 WS

Namon has 1.9 WS from Mizzou. No other active player has 1 WS.

I thought @BuffG made some good points, particularly that last one showing 5 of the top 8 rated will be on next season's team. Course one of those is my #1 ranked over rated player......

I think @buffaholic hit the under rated pretty good, but I disagree about the most over rated. In my mind the most over rated are as follows:

1. Collier
2. Damiene Cain (who knows maybe he could play, but since he never did, anywhere...)
3. Fletch and XJ though they both had some productive moments for CU.
