Ty Berry has led Sunrise Christian to a #6 national ranking and had another strong performance in the Hoophall Classic as they smacked the loaded roster of Hillcrest Prep by 43 today.

any thoughts on why Berry is only ranked #120 in the country? He seems to be a leader on one of the best teams in the country and has all the tools. #120 is fine, but is average for a big ten recruit so hopefully he's under-rated for some reason. Usually kids at smaller programs can be diamonds in the rough but Berry has presumably got tons of attention playing on a top 10 team.

His AAU team didn't win a lot and he isn't an off the charts elite athlete. His floor is higher than many players ranked above him. But perhaps the ranking services think his ceiling isn't as high. I respectfully disagree.
His performance with Sunrise shows he can lead at a high level. He can score at all 3 levels, is unselfish, sees the floor well and has great shot mechanics. Perhaps he'll get a rankings boost this spring. Regardless of his ranking, he'll be a solid addition to NU.
I've got to believe being under 6 5" and coming out of Kansas hurts him.
If Berry played for Simeon on Chicago's South Side and had the exact same playing history the discussion would be 4* versus 5*.
I will take another BMacHe’s playing on one of the highest profile teams in the country. They play nationally against top competition and he’s in AAU. He is not under the radar. He does have average athleticism for a big ten guard but everything else looks good. If he was an elite athlete there might be the 4 vs 5 star but his video is not 5 star. That’s why he reminds me of BMac—good tools, high IQ, good size but average athlete for big ten play.

You seem to follow Berry closely. Do you have any insight into how he is viewing NU’s current season? Are the competitive losses giving him optimism for next season?
I think he's in the same camp as most on this board. Concerned by early season losses, but optimistic considering the fight shown and the experience being gained. He thinks having him, Boo, a healthy RS-Jr Gaines and Chase Audige available along with Greer will allow the backcourt to have similar depth and talent as the frontcourt does with Beran, Nance, Young, and Jones, along with Kopp on the wing. I think he remains generally optimistic, but hopes for a few more wins this year. If not on the court, then on the '21 recruiting trail. Getting PBJ and/or Christie would be huge. NU does a good job recruiting when they target specific players, so I wouldn't be surprised by another solid '21 class (along with a grad transfer or 2 for next season). Those things would make me feel pretty optimistic, too.

Just watched this clip. Damn that Zach Clemence kid can shoot for a big. Dude is 6-10 and absolutely crushed it from distance in that game. Was that normal for him or was it just a good day? If that’s his m.o., we could definitely use a guy like that.
He's a pick and pop 4. He's a top 60 kid with KU and many other Big12 offers. He'd be a great get for NU.
We have no body like that. He can shoot from distance, off the pass and off the dribble. Right now, I think Miller Kopp struggles because teams just stick a good defender on him who never leaves him. To next year have two guys you can't leave open really changes the dynamic of our offense.if he can make open shots on the next level i have to believe he will play. its an area we are greatly lacking in.
Actually, NU does have someone who can shoot like that: Boo. Will be nice to have two guards who can create a shot.We have no body like that. He can shoot from distance, off the pass and off the dribble. .
