This is a 3 star player?


Draftexpress.com has a nice interview with future Commodore, Andrew Ogilvy. Ogilvy dominated at the Under 19 World Championships and outperformed Burger Boys DeAndre Jordan and Michael Beasley. Australia didn't play the USA in the tournament, so we didn't get to see how he would fare against talent comparable to what he will face in the NCAA. That said, there were high major prospects on some of the teams he did face, and Ogilvy wiped the floor with them. If I remember correctly, Ogilvy led the tournament in scoring and blocks and was second in rebounding.

Memo to Rivals and Scout- if you're going to give a player an evaluation, how about you actually watch tape of him and not just rely on the schools that offered him. I've already stopped paying attention to Rivals' football ratings due to the Kareem Jackson situation, but I'm leaning to doing the same with their basketball ratings.
