Matthew Hurt - Kansas

ESPN Ranking: No. 6

Position: Big

Hometown: Rochester, Minnesota

Hurt might have the most advanced offensive repertoire of any big man in this class. What he lacks in length and athleticism he makes up for with skill and IQ. There are other big men in this class with brighter long-term outlooks, but it’s possible Hurt is the most productive of the front court players in this class as a college freshmen.

Hurt hails from Rochester, Minnesota and his brother plays for the Golden Gophers. The hometown pull with Minnesota is alluring, but it’s hard to pass up a blue blood when they’re all chasing you. We’ll go with Kansas here after Hurt started every game for Bill Self’s U18 team during a gold medal run at the FIBA Americas Championship this summer.

So we'd have a Tyler AND a Murphy for 2019.

Oh yeah, he's a Murphy for sure.

Matthew is definitely a Murphy name, but Hurt makes up for it. Hopefully he'll put the "Hurt" on a few would be defenders.

Cole Aldrich II? Probably not, just the big from Minnesota reference...

A lot of David Padgett. More athletic though as Padgett was a klutz.
