We end the week - though the fun continues this weekend, led by Patrick Imig of Joe Sports Fan fame; keep the good tips coming - on a sour note. This exuberant young man who just dunked a basketball is Tony Wroten, a 15-year-old stud-in-training. He’s the top-rated shooting guard according to Scout in the class of 2011. He also just got booted from his high school because he didn’t live in the district, which recently re-zoned.

(This is totally what happened to Andrea Zuckerman on 90210. She pretended to live with her Grandma, but didnt’. Then, when the school came to check her out, she had to fake it. This being 90210, her cunning ploy worked.)

What’s odd is that with Wroten being such a prospect, you’d think Garfield high school would let this thing fly - ultimately, Wroten will bring positive press to the school, help with the hoops ticket gate, and who knows, maybe win a State title for the school. But no.

So Wroten is currently not enrolled anywhere, which seems like a bad idea. Hope this academic lull doesn’t affect his transcript, or he can kiss the interest from Louisville, Memphis, Syracuse, Texas, UNLV, and Washington goodbye.

Before we head into the weeend, a note on Syracuse recruiting, which was touched on earlier this week in the Devendorf post. All names culled from Rivals, which doesn’t include transfers, apparently. So sorry if any of them were left out …

The class of 2003 was an epic bust, mostly because the expectations were so high. Roberts and Watkins never improved offensively, and Syracuse should have let McCorskey go to Rutgers, where he would have played (and maybe played well). Nichols was the saving grace of this class, a sweet shooter who is now in the NBA. But his individual accolades never made the team better. How’d they do in the NCAA tournament? As freshman - when none of these guys were factors (and G-Mac and Warrick carried the team) - they went 2-1. As sophomores? Out in the first round. Juniors? Out in the first round. NIT as seniors. Grade: D

The class of 2004 has to rank among Boeheim’s worst ever. Bonus points if anyone can find out with Tommy Moss did on the basketball court. Both Wrights were a disaster (although we did enjoy Josh Wright at the Adidas camp one summer - that kid can rise). Grade: F.

The class of 2005 is yet to be determined. Devendorf (whose career at the school may be over) and Onuaku both have played well. Devendorf had two good seasons and was poised for a third before injury. It’ll be a big blow if he has to sit out another season. Onuaku has made gigantic strides since his freshman campaign. Grade: B for now.

The 2006 class consisted of Paul Harris (very good college player), Mike Jones and somebody named Devin Brennan-McBride. The last guy transferred. Jones went the JUCO route. Grade: D.

The 2007 class had tons of talent, which is why it’s even more surprising they didn’t make the NCAA tournament last year. Greene’s already in the NBA. Flynn is already among the top dozen PGs in the country. Haven’t seen enough of Jackson and Jardine yet to, but everyone’s hoping they pull more fr Otis Hill and Z Sims than Roberts and Josh Wright.

The pair of players who arrived in the 2008 class, Mookie Jones and Kris Joseph, will let everyone know how good they are very shortly, since they’re likely to play heavy minutes if Devendorf is indeed gone. Rating 2007 after just one season is tough, but there’s certainly promise, assuming Flynn doesn’t get any NBA ideas. It could be the first ‘A’ since the 2002 group of Melo, G-Mac and Matt Gorman.
