Bailey was the nation’s No. 2 prospect in his high school class and Harper was No. 3, according to composite rankings of recruiting sites compiled by 247Sports. The impact they can have as freshman teammates became apparent Oct. 17 when Rutgers faced St. John’s in a preseason exhibition. Rutgers lost 91-85, but Bailey scored 25 points and Harper added 20.
Harper, the son of former NBA guard Ron Harper, had 23 points per game his senior year at Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, New Jersey. “I think it’s very possible that Harper is the more consistently productive college freshman and Bailey gets picked higher in the draft,” Finkelstein said. “I think Bailey, with a great year, could contend for that No. 1 overall pick. Harper, it wouldn’t surprise me if he can contend with Cooper to be as impactful a college freshman as there is in the country.”Bethea, ranked seventh in the 247Sports composite, is a 6-5 guard from Philadelphia who had 22.
“Kirilenko, like Cooper, was a hugely impactful defender despite the fact he wasn’t a 7-footer,” Finkelstein said. “I’ve said Cooper’s the best shot blocker I’ve ever seen who’s not a 7-footer, at least at this stage. But offensively he’s got a ton of versatility to him too, and a real killer instinct about him.”Johnson arrives at No. 19 Texas after scoring 2,563 points in four years of high school basketball and had 17 points in 24 minutes at the McDonald’s All-American Game.
“Now he goes to a Georgia program where he may actually be more highlighted as a freshman in college than he was as a senior in high school,” Finkelstein said.NY radio host calls out Giants rookie for ‘unacceptable behavior’
