Definitely #1 or #2. I think when you factor in his height, mobility, and shooting ability you get a top 30 recruit.

That's my belief,also.I'm curious to hear others chime in with their thoughts.On paper this team has 5 or 6 top 75 types along with Pankey being underrated ,in my opinion ,from his high school days.

I'd say top 20. Recruiting services love legit 7 footers who can move.

Len is a great athlete with lots of skills for his size, but he has no post-up game whatsoever and he hasn't shown a consistent jumper yet.
I'd say Top 20 for sure.

You basically just described Nerlens Noel and he is top 3 in 2013

Really, which 5 ?
MARYLAND. The area they’re now calling the DMV—D.C./Maryland/Northern Virginia—might be the country’s richest talent mine.

Noel is a great defender. I saw him a few times this summer and he had one game with at least 10 blocks. That is one of the reasons he is ranked so high.

Len would have been a top 30 prospect most likely based on his upside. My best guess is that he would have been somewhere in that 15-30 range.

Noel's athleticism is what allows him to be a great defender
I see him being Javale Mcgee at his peak
his offense is zzzzzzzz

As a reference, Rakeem Christmas was the #27 player in the 2011 class - he's playing ~13 minutes per game for Syracuse and is averaging 4 and 3. Adjehi Baru was the #28 player in the class, is playing about 27 mpg, and is averaging 8 and 6 for Charlotte.

That's more a reflection of how deep Syracuse is than anything else.

I only see 3 top 100s on the roster after looking at Scout, Rivals and ESPN, Stoglin was ranked 125 and 100.

I remember Stoglin being underrated coming in, but I forgot he was rated criminally low.

Moseley
Stoglin
Len
Parker
Faust
After seeing how Stoglin has become a very good scorer in the ACC,he certainly imo should have been at least a top 75,--much like Jordan Williams was undervalued by the so called experts.

You said "on paper". If your criteria is now based on performance, remove Mosley and Parker from the list .........
That leaves:
Stoglin
Len ........... After 2 decent games w/0 competition
Faust ........ Squeezes into top 75 after Samford game
That's still only 5...... Where's your 6 .

This should inspire a "Rank the Terps based on CURRENT EVALUATION" thread...

He would easily be top 30. I don't see how anyone would argue otherwise. Sure, he has stuff to prove and stuff to work on, but so does everyone else in the top30.
