What happened to the "staff is confident" line we were hearing everywhere re lovett?

I think crickets means that it's been quiet on that front, not that anybody is more or less confident.

Was not inferring anything just noting I have not heard anything about him since he committed.

“He’s a gym rat,” Pollard said of Ponds. “He’ll stay in the gym all day and just play ball.”

Originally from Rochester. I hope the Cuse don't come sniffing.

He plays a little high, but it seems to be more of a style than a physical or skill limitation.  He'll learn quickly in college that won' cut it.

It was one of first things that stood out when I saw him last week.  He looks like he controls it very well but still a concern.  Kyle Guy was all about trying to rip it from him every time he could.

Probably just his street ball style. Looked more like entertainment than real basketball.
