Awesome.  Kid is a beast.  Seems we are on him early.  Let's hope he wants to stay near home.  Slice and Co. Working on this kid for two years can pay dividends..

Love this kid's size at SF.  Reminds me a bit of Tayshan Prince with his frame and jumper.  I think the kid will continue to move up the ladder as he gets stronger and fills in.

Kid needs to hit the weight room and get stronger. Athletic and somewhat skilled, he'll get pushed around too easy in the Big East at his current size.

Says NC St, UK and Kansas will make definitely his final list among other schools which sounds like they will be the 3 schools out in front now.

Not too upset.  I know he has some skills, but I'm personally not a fan of tall guys who want to play guard.  Hate that there are so many kids with this mindset out there.
