Just to be clear Mika, Emery, Haws, & Childs are elite players. They are young.

Thought you meant the class they came out of HS with. Even still, there's a difference when taking 2 yrs off.

harsh and jerky... and wrong. Two years away from the game delays NBA readiness

They are very much elite. They always have been.

The elite players are going to be in the draft.

Elite players don't always enter the draft. A college elite player is different

Elite? Your definition of elite may be different. I think they are good players

The Dude Abides

Uh...elite is the top 10%. Which these players are right now or will be soon.

Yes that is considered Elite earnings. To earn at that level they earn better

Top 10% is elite? There are approximately 4000 D1 basketball players. You

The Dude Abides

Yes. 400 elite players. 357 teams. 1.15 elite players per team. We have 4.

I'd go with top 3% are elite. Haws and Emery are good players. Not the type of

Elite is not top 10%. Elite is TOP-10 players

Wrong. They are elite they are small percentage that is better than the

I'm curious what word you apply to the top 10% of the 10%. The guys going to

Professionals of the best League in the world. The best of the elite.

2/17/17 1:15pm

There are plenty of people in the NBA I wouldn't classify as 'elite'

Dissenter

2/17/17 1:20pm

They were elite in college, but that doesn't mean they are elite in the NBA.

cougsrule

2/17/17 1:21pm

Some of our players were elite in HS, but not yet in college. Give them time.

Was Dellavadova 'elite' in college?

They are top 10% on their team

"elite" is a subjective term,

2/17/17 12:42pm

I disagree. All 4 were Top 100 players in high school. Any college would have

Where did you read that Mika, Haws, Emery were top 100?

zagdontzig

It was on EPSN, but here is a more recent article.

cougsrule

2/17/17 1:20pm

ESPN had Mika, Emery, Haws, Dastrup, Childs & Rose as top 100 national

Indy Coug

2/17/17 2:08pm

That is very debatable now! Probably the L.P success gave them better numbers.

Local Utah people may overrate them but

bluegato

I will agree. There is a difference between elite and lottery players.

Elite is a strong word though

zagdontzig

2/17/17 1:05pm

Not really. Elite is exactly what they are. They aren't the best, or the top

cougsrule

A miniscule group of fans

Mark Few would take any one of those 4 players in heart beat. Ask him.

TJ Haws' numbers are on par with NWG as a Freshman. Check back in a few years.

When he puts on 25 pds I'll check back. Hit the -II---II- man...

Hill4Heisman

They're not called elite until only 8 are left. 8/400= 2%

PHXSUNS31

Elite? There are plenty of freshman who will jump to the NBA after this year. They are elite.
