Enough of my BS though. What’s going on with his recruitment?


Part of the reason why he's leaving. Not getting any exposure here is another.

I was impressed with his demeanor.

He doesn't get rattled. Similar to New Iberia's Austin Delahoussaye in that regard.

Drewery scores a lot more.

He's gonna need that poise because Hillcrest plays teams from all over. It's gonna be interesting him playing against the top guys

Glad he didn’t get caught up in that mess.

Not sure he’s SEC caliber tbh. Small, not elite athleticism, etc.

The recruiting website comments in the OP said he's "a huge point guard with elite skills. Russell Westbrook of this class".

So basically saying he's got great size and athleticism. So what is it?

Have you saw him play live?

He’s about 5’10”-6’ tops… and doesn’t play above the rim.

Not knocking him as he can shoot and handle, but 100s of kids with that skill set and size out there.

And as a previous poster pointed out- those lists are trash. They don’t even mention some of the top high school players!

No I haven't, I was seriously asking what is the truth

I did google him some more and he does appear 5'10" so that description is absurd.

Yea those “scouting” services don’t seem too legit. There are tons of them I’ve noticed that seem to only rank or out focus on local players… idk.

Sucks that he is out of BR’s high school bball scene though…

He has 155 folllwers on Twitter & does not announce offers. Pretty much tells you everything

National recruits just have more of a following. And players will pridefully announce offers when they get them

Makes sense.

Looks more like a Selu/Nicholls guy to me, maybe?

And that’s no hate on any school similiar to those… you still have to seriously hoop to play there!

Will Wade follows him, so yea maybe a state school guy. Not trying to disparage him, either.

But that was 3 years ago… a lot can change. And yes , Georgetown is not what it used to be.

I’m actually not sure on the rule - I thought coaches couldn’t contact kids before junior year now, so how are they getting offers in 9th grade, etc? This may be sport specific as well, idk…

Best of luck to him. Great chance for him to shine playing against elite competition.
