Dropped / Lost

Name Pos Stars Status Notes
Emanuel Delaney PG 4 committed_elsewhere LOST TO GREEN BAY (Phase 4). Had max interest but chose Green Bay — likely higher prestige/minutes offer. Scholarship freed for Iruafemi.
Jon Haug SG 3 committed_elsewhere LOST TO WESTERN ILLINOIS (Phase 6). Had scholarship + Major Pitch but chose WIU. Scholarship freed for Anderton.
Sarp Anderton PG/SG 1 dropped DROPPED — scholarship given to Tyjuan Shelby instead. Retrained minutes-weighted Ridge model revealed Shelby's athletic profile (FirstStep 17, Speed 17) was undervalued. Anderton's BORDERLINE Disc 11 was additional risk. Ridge 0.595 but replaced by safer CLEAN commit.
Dekedran Stockton SG/SF 1 committed_elsewhere LOST TO INDIANA STATE (A prestige, Phase 4-5). Best PnR/Gravity combo (PnRE 18, Grav 19). 6'8/7'3. Disc 9.
Jabe Raymond SG/SF 1 committed_elsewhere LOST TO MIAMI OH (Elite prestige). Play 19, SlfC 19, Grav 17, Hndl 18. 4-star college ability. Disc 8 character fail.
Clent Seumalo G 1 dropped Best OutS (19) in pool. Disc 8/Prof 9 both below 10 floor. CHARACTER FAIL.
Tshiefu Cannon SF/SG 1 dropped Disc 6 catastrophic. Morey fit also weak (Spac 11, Fnsh 8).
Zeek Antwine W 1 dropped Disc 5 critically low. Local (12 mi).
Jovan Hauser PG 1 dropped Triple character fail. Worst character in class despite best on-court Morey fit.
Kenny Danridge PG 1 dropped Disc 9/Prof 8 double fail. PnRE 9 + Fnsh 7 = can't run Morey Ball PnR. 5'9.
Rashaad Herndon PG 1 dropped Rarest PnR skill (17-19) but End 9 is crippling. Not worth L5 scout.
Frederick Crossland SG/SF 1 dropped Prof 7 + OutS 14 below Morey Ball threshold.
LD Gates SG/PG 1 dropped Double fail. OutS 14 also below threshold.
Admassu Abdallah SF 1 dropped Double fail. BallD 19 + Disc 7 = ball hog with bad decisions.
Jaxson Nickelson SG/PG 1 dropped PnRE 17 rare but Disc 9 + inconsistent. Not prioritized.
Jaison Ames PF 1 dropped On-court fail: OnBD 3, Quck 8, Spd 5. Can't play Morey Ball.
Mateo Mangrum SF 1 dropped Motor/effort yellow flag. WE 11 too low. SlfC 20, End 10.
Jamauri Pfister G 1 dropped End 6-9. Can't play starter minutes. 453 mi away.
Jayron Kalil Unknown 1 dropped Disc 9 + OnBD 9 + Average interest + Late commit. Elite offense wasted.
