Re: '18 CA SF Dana Tate (URI Commit)

Tate was top 82 in the class of 19', I think that's about right and not a stretch to say top 100 in class of 18'.

Re: '18 PA SG - Tyrese Martin (Offer)

Seems like Dan is focusing on big guards/wings that are multidimensional with this class, Tate seems to fall into this category as well. Considering we have Dowtin and Fatts for another 2 and 3 years when this class arrives, this makes perfect sense.
