We really stole one here. He’s way more athletic than I thought. If you check out his Twitter feed it’s full of him putting guys on posters. Just curious to how he wasn’t more highly rated? He’s got decent size, can shoot, rebound and handle the ball. The tournament he’s playing in Florida right now is full of future D1 guys and he’s putting up great numbers. It’s going to be hard to keep him off the court.
Go to about 20 seconds in on this video and watch him fly.
I've posted this before but I think he looks a bit trimmer than last year's clips, which could be due to physical maturation (he just turned 17) and/or better diet and workout regimen. Still looks like he may have some additional toning to do.
His lack of early high rating speaks to the ability of this staff to identify talent at an early stage and developing relationships which pay off down the road. Prohm showed this ability at his last stop where 2 of his low-ranked recruits became NBA picks. (Yes, Prohm haters, the ability to identify talent is also what makes a good coach.)
Who knows, we may get even luckier and he continues to grow as he's still a year younger than a great majority of senior recruits.
