Extend Golden

Who?

 

It meant basketball and football. Last second I thought of baseball and don’t even know for softball and others so yeah.

 

Top high school recruits is an interesting line of inquiry. According to 247, these are our highest rated recruits since they started rating:

1. Beal
2. Lewis
3. Walker
4. Hill
5. Boynton
6. Nembhard
7. Mann
8. Young
9. Robinson
10. CJ Ingram

There is definitely a lot to like in this list, but it’s also striking how few of our Gator legends show up here. (Though Brewer was just off the list at #11). And a Golden player is already there.

You know, I wonder who would I trade of our current players to get players off this list? Certainly I would want Beal and Mann, but I think I would prefer Clayton. I definitely would like to get Young as well, but Condon’s stats are actually better than Young’s at this point. Hill is probably an upgrade over Aberdeen, but Aberdeen is a bench player, so that is probably not a fair comparison.

Now not every Golden team will be as skilled as this one, and certainly there could be arguments for many of those other players, but this list is the top rated players of the last couple decades vs a team from a single year. At the very least, it seems that there is more than one way to skin this cat.
