I've seen him play a couple times. I wasn't very impressed. Overall, he doesn't seem like an SEC quality player. He's not very athletic and although he has a nice shot, he is shooting over 5'11'' kids from 1A ball. I don't expect him to contribute in his freshman or sophmore season but he might develop into a nice role player for his junior and senior seasons.

Disagree. I've seen him play against the biggest schools in this state as well as against elite national competition in Las Vegas last year and the kid has game to go with an extremely high basketball I.Q. If he played in a district with better competion he would probably average 30 points per game as he sat out many minutes the past two years with his team winning in blowouts. He's a better wing shooter than anyone currently on the LSU team not named Tasmin. He can and will be a major contributor next season IMO.
