How the five-star freshmen are performing

On3 had 22 five-stars in our 2022 On3 150. Now that we are into the second week of December, we are starting to accumulate a sample size for the college season. While the 2022-23 sample size is still small, the lens is starting to focus. I wanted to look through that lens and see how the five-star freshmen are performing.

It is worth noting 2022 five-stars Cam Whitmore and Nick Smith have been sidelined with various injuries and have returned for less than a handful of games. 2022 On3 150 No. 2 Leonard Miller went the G-League route instead of college. Most of the 22 players are approaching ten or more games played, including Dariq Whitehead and Dereck Lively, who each missed the start of the season with injuries.

While this list is based on On3s in-house rankings, what we refer to as the 2022 On3 150, I also included the 2022 On3 Consensus ranking with these players to provide some context around the industry standard of each prospect.

The On3 Consensus is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four major recruiting media services. Created by the authors of the Composite, the On3 Consensus is the most advanced, complete, and unbiased rating and ranking measurement in the industry. 

This will be an exercise I do every couple of weeks to track their progress as the sample size continues to grow.
