Crazy to think after how we were starving for talent this time last year now we might back off a 3/4 star kid who though very raw has high upside. I still like Kostas but there just might not be room for him unless Williams cannot play anymore.

That's not crazy. It's just relative to what the staff could do at this time last year, which was practically nothing.

I'll stick to my previous comment. The change in talent level from one year to the next where we are turning down this kid possibly is crazy. There were years in the past we would have killed to have a kid with upside like this.

I'm not sure how much upside there is here. He looks pretty awkward to me. If think if he was so promising, more schools would be after him. Why don't Marquette and Wisconsin want him?

Justin Simon and Marvin Clark Jr, we can see that those guys can really play. They will be stars here. This kid doesn't look like he'll change the game very much for a long time.

I think you may be on the money here.  I liked his athleticsm and handle for a big guy, but some guys don't have the motor.  I'm guessing might  be more Jack Wolfinger than Darius Miles.

Kostas has just published  a new highlight reel out for his Senior Year.

Also Purdue is taking a hard look at Kostas

Not one shot with his back to the basket. His dribble couldn't possibly be any higher. No thanks.

Because he averages 10 ppg against teams JJ poster could beat.

He's an interesting subject - merely because of his older brothers... it's fun to speculate when the outcomes can be so varied.  Plus it's the off, off season right now..

Maybe if you made a list of things you find interesting that'd help focus the discussion

There has to be more to it than his genes. He's 6'8 or 6'9 and he put up 12.9 points per game while shooting 20% from three. What kind of competition did he go up against where 12.9 points per game is impressive? If he did that at Oak Hill, and every player on his team was a high major D1 prospect, ok then.

Kostas Antetokounmpo -- younger brother of Giannis -- announced his commitment to Dayton.

FWIW - everybody on Twitter classifying this as a "great get" for Archie and co.

Appropriate level IMO. Great program and great
coach. He couldn't have made a better decision. I can see Archie leaving in a year or two and bringing him to a bigger program if he's progressed.

The fact that this is Archie's highest ranked recruit since being at Dayton is a testament to how great of a coach he really is. He's the crown jewel of young HC candidates nationally IMO.
