He is ranked like 106th at his position not in the country but at his position. Martin said he wouldn't recruit someone this year that he felt like would be recruited over in the future. If Martin isn't planning on recruiting any better players than this guy WE HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM.

The key word is "ranked." It's someone's opinion that he's the 106th best player at his position in this year's class. Martin, who has evaluated him and who is better qualified to evaluate talent than recruiting websites, may hold a different opinion.

Its not like Rivals rates people off youtube videos. They do have people that scout and watch players in person to base their ratings. 106 at his position is not very good in their eyes. His lack of AAU playing probably contributes to his rank as they are not going to rank a player with limited evaluation at or near the top of the class. 106 as a G is not as bad as 106 at C though as there are a ton of G's and limited C's.

I went to several schools during HS. I went to Karns High for a brief period of time and then went to a couple small private schools. We played TSD(TN school for the Deaf) among other less than stellar competition. The tallest kid in our division was the most unathletic 6'6" person I've ever seen. It really wasn't that much of an accomplishment. lol

I randomly found this old ESPN blog that discusses Chievous and one of his teammates at Notre Dame Catholic.
Chievous, a 6-5 forward, was the first to show up to Notre Dame. He had been living with his father Derrick Chievous, a former NBA player, in Missouri, and decided to move to the Chicago area to live with his mother.

Despite his father's background, Chievous had played minimal organized basketball his entire life before transferring to Notre Dame. Chievous' athletic ability was recognizable immediately when he stepped onto the court for the Dons, but he was raw.
...
Chievous' game has taken large strides in the past three seasons. He's put a lot of hours into bolstering his ability, and he's gone from simply being an athlete to becoming an all-state candidate. His jump shot has improved. He's become a better ball handler. He's extremely explosive off the dribble.

I like Chievous a lot too. He has admitted he didn't take school or basketball seriously early in his life and has corrected those mistakes and values the opportunity that is in front of him. Easy to like a guy like that who wants to become a better person and player.

To be honest guys, my son is about 6'2" and played against him for 4 years. My son is playing D2 basketball to give you a level he plays at. Chievous is a decent player, but definately not the caliber to play here. My son held him to 10 points and put up 25 on him when they were both seniors. He got alot of publicity because his dad was an NBA player and the scouts in Illinois love that kind of stuff. Don't get me wrong, he's not a stiff...but if a 6'2" kid can do him in, imagine what a great player that plays at UT's leve will do to him. That was a bad recruit for you guys...don't expect much from him. Just being honest as I'm a huge Vols fan.

sour grapes^^^ - I'm 6'7 and got scholarship offers to Mizzou, and Kansas State, Iowa State, and Nebraska to name a few and matched up to Quinton a few times when he was a sophomore during the summer. He did solid (I still got the best of him) - but I got the best of quality guys a lot worse than I did him.
