It’ll be really interesting to see how much names move around publicly available draft boards as this season moves on. With so many of these guys being relative unknowns after having basically no season last year, this seems primed for a bunch of guys to kind of appear out of nowhere.
Josh – any word on where Justice Thompson is fitting in? I feel like he got a ton of pub a couple weeks ago for some big games, but then I haven’t heard much (though I also haven’t been following super close).
Justice Thompson is off to a good start, but he wasn’t considered a Top 100 prospect (1-3 rounds). Swing and miss was a concern from those following North Carolina. I think there is hope that if Thompson has a strong ACC conference season, that will help elevate his stock.

Seems like the WS love them some Louisville prospects lately. Has that worked out?
