Listen man... I don't want to be an asshole. But if there ever was an overrated 5-star it's Marjon Beauchamp. He's not as good as his designation. He has length, so I can imagine why the Dawgs are interested... but as an overall prospect? Meh... he's not that athletic, his ball handling is OK but he's not a point guard. Strength? What strength? His shot is average... the rotation ain't great. I just don't see what he does *really* well...
This is what happened. He played with MPJ at Nathan Hale and it got him exposure... he hasn't lived up to his designation as a 5-star that was given to him as a freshman... yet for some odd reason they keep him there.
He's a 4-star at best and I'd argue borderline 3-star given what I've seen from him. I would not be sad in the least if he's not a Husky.
PJ Fuller is a much better player than this kid... I'm actually sad that he's not gonna be a Dawg.
If any coach was $paying kids, it was romar. He was getting top end talent without sniffing the NCAA Tourney and yet still pulling in top end talent with what argument? Um, we haven't sniffed a tourney in half a decade but you alone will make us a f4 team??? Hop's team is currently undefeated in league(albeit a shitty one), but the writing is on the wall that his program is on its way up rather than the other direction. At least I can see the selling point.
Another fun secret for all. Just about all 5* top end guys get some sort of $. Let's stop being choirs boys and put on our big boy pants. Whether they get paid or not, who fucking cares. They should get paid. We just may have a coach who can put the players who get here into some sort of successful situation.
Another side note, Seattle basketball has some talent again. Most of the guys are coming from our backyard. We should be getting a good % of these guys
He's gotta put on 20 lbs of muscle or he's gonna get bullied. Better athletes already bully him at the HS level... watch the highlights when they played the team from Temecula... where was he? He looked like shit compared to the stars on that team.
Playing alongside the best talent the state has to offer by transferring high schools 4 different times masks a lot of his deficiencies.
He's an OK basketball player due for a major wake-up call at the next level.

It would suck if he was so bad he had to stay 2-3 years.

I'd much rather have players who are ready to make an immediate impact... the Nowell types. Raequan Battle is a better player than Beuachamp right now in my opinion. He's an elite athlete with a CJ Wilcox level stroke. He'll get on the floor and contribute right away. I'm not saying Beauchamp can't be a good player, I just don't think his 5-star designation is accurate.
If he were a 4 star I'd be much less critical. A 5-star kid I expect to come in and average 20 off the rip and start for the Dawgs. He won't... and a kid who has transferred 14 times? I wonder how not seeing the floor will go... can you say pout.
I was actually pissed we didn't get CJ Elleby... I think he's a better college prospect than Beauchamp... and fits our system a lot better.
You know who will a freaking stud the second he steps on the floor? Isaiah Stewart... he's elite talent.
Raequan Battle is not better than Beauchamp sorry. Marjon might not have eye popping athleticism sure. But he can really really handle it and he can stroke it. He’s super long at 6”6. Decent passer too. He’s basically Dejounte Murray but probably a better shooter.

Averaging 20 per game in college is big time and very rare.
I doubt Stewart does better than 15 and 10 (which is very good).

Yeah I know... and I meant that as more of, "I expect a 5 star to WOW me." I don't expect that from Beauchamp. Not at all.

Plz get this fuckery off the bored. Thanks.
I'll believe it when I see it. He has the strength of an 11-year-old girl... you wanna stop him? Put someone with some muscle in his face and he trips all over himself.

In the star rating era UW has brought in 6 5 stars. Their freshman averages:
I think you are confused about what a 5 star ranking portends. You are suggesting he should produce like a top 5 player in his class just because he's a 5 star.

This is exactly what people said about Durant coming into the NBA. Skill > strength, especially for a teenager.

Oh boy... MVP of the Metro League... who gives a fuck? When they played quality opponents... the Jefferson's, Sheldon's, Sunrise Academies... how'd he do? I've watched the games... he didn't take over. He didn't dominate. He couldn't... he's not enough of an impact player. Watch the guys from Sheldon... Jesus... they make him and RB look like clowns.
Hit the weight room. Put on some damn muscle. Get more athletic and explosive.
Or it simply means nothing. He's a stick figure. How nobody is literally forcing him to eat more and lift a few dumb bells is astounding.

WAY WAY WAY different. He was 6'11 and could shoot the lights out. Durant was a better Jaden McDaniels.
Beauchamp is in NO way comparable. They have significantly different skillsets. Durant doesn't/didn't need the strength... he had amazing footwork and shot OVER you. He didn't need to get around you.
I love the “this is fact because I think it is, but I won’t listen to any rebuttals” type arguments. We’ve got one creating aids on at least one thread on every single board here.
I don't give a fuck if he's better or worse than another player or he's a 5 star or 4 star. He's a stud athlete in our backyard and I would rather he play for UW than another school.

At least he's not a cross-face shooter.
He's not up to the level of a 5-star prospect.

Beauchamp ain't that. He's still damn good.
