The 25 Most Hyped High School Basketball Recruits Of All Time
- Thread starter IT IS WHAT IT IS
- Start date
False
Bron was already the #2 ranked player going into the ABCD
Tim thomas was nice. He got busy at nova. Had a decent ride the league
No. His game was sloppy
Hr was just a big sized kid and could over power
I think cook did get drafted
Taliek went to st johns prep after i left my freshman yr. All my old dudes i kicked it with used to talk about him.
Larry jennings was the man at st johns prep when i was there
Yea when i was in hs him and mauberry had nyc on lick
Felipe had a good game i likes him and he at least got NBA checks for galf a decade.
Got himself a pension...
Taliek was the first elite baller I saw play pickup with normal dudes that everybody thought had game. That shit didn't seem real. I thought dude was going pro out of HS, because I couldn't fathom somebody being NICER than that. LOLOLOLOL.
That was yeears ago. Its still amazing the different levels of talent/ability. You ignorantly think this dude you saw wash everybody is the peak of basketball. Put him in a different environment and he looks very human. I know a guy who averaged 37ppg at a JUCO - common sense would say if you can average 37ppg at any college, you have to be REALLY good - and watched him get totally outshined against some average D1 cats.
I try my hardest to explain this shit to my little cousin. He's 13 now and my fam' gassing him up to think he's great. Dude is nice locally, but I know he just don't have what it takes to go where they think he's going.
Again most hyped... Bron wasn't #1 when they were on Cooke's nut sack
You said brons hype surfaced from that game. That was false
The only reason Lenny was 'more' hyped is because he was from NY and the camps were based there. Even before LeBron roasted him, he was never chosen for any All America teams, etc., whereas LeBron was already on the NATIONAL stage, having been named first team All American in a lot of publications.
The reason why the Cooke situation is hyped is because again, LeBron went to his home area and lit him up, but Lenny was never a real national phenomenon. All NYC bias in terms of who was better coming in. Now, he might have been had not LeBron given him that work but to say he was higher rated or hyped his not true. the ABCD Camp was not the beginning and the end rankings, and just because he was listed #1 going in to their camp doesn't mean he was universally considered better.
You can't barely find his name listed in national publications in 2001, LeBron was all over the place, having made second team All American as a sophomore and First team the season BEFORE giving Lenny that work...
Man after he baked Cooke Bron's hype went into overdrive.. It was already there before Cooke but that shit was a bonfire after he murdered Cooke..
Dwight Howard was mad hyped in high school. He had started as a PG and had a late growth spurt so folks were expecting him to be kinda like Garnett but maybe better.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dajuan_Wagner
Wagner was chosen with the sixth overall pick of the 2002 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. In his rookie season he averaged 13.4 points per game and shot 36.9% from the field. In the later part of his rookie year, Wagner often attended the trial of his stepfather Leonard "Pooh" Paulk, who was indicted as an alleged drug supplier.[9]
Wagner was hampered by injuries and health problems thereafter. He averaged a career-low 4.0 points in 11 games played during the 2004-05 season, and was hospitalized for ulcerative colitis. The Cavaliers did not exercise their option on his contract for the 2005-06 season and subsequently Wagner was out of the league.
His colitis condition was not amenable to medication and, after consulting with New York Knicks head coach Larry Brown, who referred him to a New York medical expert, Wagner underwent surgery to remove half his colon on October 25, 2005, at Mount Sinai Hospital.
In April 2006, Wagner began training with former high school rival Omar Wellington at Nexxt Level Sports in Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey. During his recovery, he was featured in the Philadelphia Daily News and on Comcast SportsNet; both reported that he would be attempting a comeback for the 2006 season.
On September 22, 2006, he signed a two-year $1.6 million contract with the Golden State Warriors.[1] On November 20, two months after he recovered from a serious illness to make an NBA comeback, the Warriors bought out his contract after he had played one game and scored four points with the team.[15]
On August 31, 2007, Wagner signed a one-year contract with Prokom Trefl Sopot in Poland.[16][17] Averaging 8.3 points in six games, he returned to South Jersey after hurting his hip and reinjuring his knee in Poland.
On October 12, 2015, he attempted to return to basketball and planned to sign with the AmeriLeague.[18] However, the league folded days later, after it was discovered that the founder was a con artist.[19]
Wagner has been a resident of West Deptford Township, New Jersey.[20]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulcerative_colitis
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a long-term condition that results in inflammation and ulcers of the colon and rectum.[1][6] The primary symptoms of active disease are abdominal pain and diarrhea mixed with blood.[1] Weight loss, fever, and anemia may also occur.[1] Often, symptoms come on slowly and can range from mild to severe.[1] Symptoms typically occur intermittently with periods of no symptoms between flares.[1] Complications may include megacolon, inflammation of the eye, joints, or liver, and colon cancer.[1][2]
The cause of UC is unknown.[1] Theories involve immune system dysfunction, genetics, changes in the normal gut bacteria, and environmental factors.[1][7] Rates tend to be higher in the developed world with some proposing this to be the result of less exposure to intestinal infections, or to a Western diet and lifestyle.[6][8] The removal of the appendix at an early age may be protective.[8] Diagnosis is typically by colonoscopy with tissue biopsies.[1] It is a kind of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) along with Crohn's disease and microscopic colitis.[1]
