He is from Tennessee (according to the Stony Brook website). I am not sure what the connection or allure of California might be, so there is that.

-- 2.4 PRPG! his junior year
-- for context, Horton-Tucker was a 2.3 as a freshman
-- one night thing about Foreman was he generally kept that level of quality up against better opponents as a junior... notice he had similar numbers against Top 100 and Top 50 opponents in six and three games against them, respectively
-- career 36.9% from three, 36.7% as a junior, not elite but respectable
-- 10.2 to 15.7 per 100 A:T ratio... not great, not a PG, more of a SG...
-- 6'1" 190 according to Stony Brook, so basically Prentiss Nixon size
-- elite free throw shooter (at 85.7%)
-- does not offer much on the boards or with blocks and steals
-- high (and progressively higher) usage as a juinor
I would summarize him as a slightly better Prentiss Nixon from what I see above -- on the stats, not just on the size comparisons. Imagine Nixon but he makes 1-2 more shots per game and he clanks free throws much less. Not great, but useful, right?
He is a mid-major chucker, but a slightly more efficient one/better shooter than Nixon. I do not mean that as a pejorative. Nixon with slightly better shooting numbers and better shot selection would have been an okay player, which is about what I would expect here. If he offers more than what is on the page above in defensive presence or leadership for a mostly new team in the locker room, then that is just a bonus.
I have to think JCL is priority #1 for the staff, but using the third scholarship on somebody like this for one year would probably be a wise move. I would take him.
