To tell the truth, I'd rather have shooter/scorers like Severe coming off the bench than guys like Marco who really don't have the skill set nor pace for this level. Ive never seen the kid play, but I know we could use another scorer/ shooter at the guard spots. Obviously Rysheed is the one we want, but a kid like Severe sounds like he could really help us down the road if we didn't land Rysheed. some guys turn out like Russ Smith. Others contribute as the 6th, 7th or 8th man. NYC kids like these can help on the bench, even if they're not initially upper D1 material. I'd venture to guess that when we have needed sme scoring punch this season, if we had a kid like Severe on the bench, we might be able to use him.
Seriously - have you seen this kid play..? To compare him to Russ Smith is nuts.
As for Marco - we have no ida what his skills are or are not, he nevers plays.
He is an A10 level player at best and is only getting more attention because he is putting up big numbers.
To keep it in prespective - Mike Cavataio put up huge nunbers his Senior year at St. Francis Prep too and he did it against better competition in the CHSAA.
Severe is a good low major player at best - Lavin wants to recruits kids that are potential pros in his eyes and this kid is not.
There was a reason that schools like URI were all over him in the Fall...
