First, I've already took back my displeasure of his commitment.  I ate my crow over a year ago about being wrong on my judgements
 
That being said... someone requested that I show them the video that made me skeptical and I could never find it until now.
 
Keep in mind he is a Sophmore in this video

Cip: Your chick detector is tuned up way too high. The lady, who appeared for at least a nanosecond, would not have fared well to close scrutiny or she wouldn't have been accompanied by the somewhat horizonally challenged gentleman. What attracted my attention were the long white sleeves on all the players. Don't they heat the gyms in Wisconsin?

I agree.  It was turrible video.  Turrible.  First, as cip says, they didn't zoom in on the WWP (woman with potential) early on in the footage (like what were they thinking?).  And the camera work was generally horrid.  Zoom back for gawd's sake.  Hate it when the action is taking place off camera.  If you're not going to follow the action, zoom back.  Duh.

 

As far as the kid is concerned, he didn't hit every shot, but he did plenty of good things in the video.  He clearly has a nice stroke from outside.  Plus, he appeared able to drive the ball.  And it wasn't really a "highlight" video but just a collection of clips from a single game.  Knowing he was a sophomore, I would have been reasonably impressed.  Especially with his jumper.  This kid has one of the nicest left-handed jump shots I've seen in a high schooler.

I don't know, jimmy, I tend to side with cip here.  I watched her clip a few times now, and I think she has potential.  Sure her game may be a bit unpolished, but she appears to have all the tools you're looking for.  But, as Norm said, there just isn't enough film on her to make a proper evaluation.  I'd need to see more.
