Okie State is on him hard now, with I think Butch Pierre all over him.
On the OTT show this week, they were raving about the kid, saying he was better than anybody on the LSU roster, right now.
I've never seen the kid play, fwiw.
Just passing on the chatter.

I think he's eerily similar to Gathers. Nearly identical size and they have similar strengths and weaknesses

Gathers is listed at 6'7" on one site and smaller than that on all the others. Unless he's still growing a bunch, no way he's 6'7"

This kid is like watching lebron play. Granted it's episcopal, but this kid has monster upside! He is a man playing against boys. He is better than any Lsu starter right now.

Well, if he's at Episcopal at least there won't be any academic issues.

He is legit, I have watched this kid for two years, he scored 50 in the quarter finals last year. He is solid 6'4 and can score from anywhere, can jump out the gym, has great hands and a really good kid. He played against John Isaac the other night and was clearly the better player. He blocked Isaac like four times, out jumped him on a crucial rebound at the end of the game by like a foot. He is better than most of LSU's players right now but not all of them. If I were the LSU coach I would have someone at everyone of his games, saw TJ one time in two years at one of our games. Butch Pierre is all over this kid along with some other big time programs.

Isaac led all scorers in that game with 18. Episcopal came on late to win by 3, with Brian having 14. Low scoring game.

He's a good player but the notion that he would currently be better than most on LSU's team is simply untrue.

Malcolm White was in 2A(St. Helena Central) and didn't dominate. Just saying, but I do agree that Bridge, isn't easily better than all the LSU players now, although I would say he could help them out right now.

He had 16, he is better than Isaac, ludwig, dbecker, and courtney right now. He is more athletic than those three for sure. I was at the game and EHS played terrible and still won. They turned the ball over at least 20 times. Isaac is another TJ project at best

You would hope for nothing less, being such a strong supporter of the basketball team. Why are you going to high school basketball games?
