hhcmatt Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 6'5" PG out of Maryland. At one point was committed to Rhode Island but backed out after they recruited another PG. Like Xavier Johnson apparently excels at most everything except for shooting. FWIW, Rivals actually has him rated higher than Johnson. Quote
uneblinstu Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 Would be a nice rabbit to pull from the hat if he can pull it off. He's pretty slight, but looks really long, too. Quote
FredsSlacks Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) this kid can fly and seems to have a huge wingspan for a point guard. Edited April 17, 2018 by TimSmiles Quote
REDZONEDAN Posted April 17, 2018 Report Posted April 17, 2018 Would be a nice replacement for Xavier. Looks like he can drive, dunk and pass. Can he shoot? Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Posted April 18, 2018 I would be happy if this young man wanted to become a Husker. Quote

Art Vandalay Posted April 18, 2018 Report Posted April 18, 2018 Man how bad is his jump shot? Not one highlight of him shooting a jumper seems very odd. Would definitely still love to have him though. Quote

Chuck Taylor Posted April 18, 2018 Report Posted April 18, 2018 Highlights don't show much of a shooter (one of his makes was banked), but I trust the staff's evaluation. I kinda like his funky mid-range game, lot of drives and flips from a guy with good size. Quote

A 6'5" PG with no long range can still ruin opposing teams' plans if he can get in the paint and develop a midrange game. Kid looks like he loves to defend too. It would be a fantastic get. Quote

Looks a little funky but not horrible however his AAU shooting stats were not good at all. Quote

Chuck Taylor Posted April 18, 2018 Report Posted April 18, 2018 Cal already has a couple of 4 stars and a couple of 3 stars in this class, brought in 6 kids last year. Not sure I'd want to get into that logjam. Quote

To me it seemed like Xavier improved his shot from junior to senior year and I think his percentages are better than Amir's as well. Don't get me wrong I really want Amir to choose us as he does seem to have a lot of other great qualities and we need a true PG. Just he will hopefully put in a lot of time working on that jumper.

nustudent Posted April 18, 2018 Report Posted April 18, 2018 I guess the positive thing is...if he is a questionable shooter....he fits our mold. NUtball, B-town hoopsfan, Shawn Eichorst's Toupee and 3 others 5 1 Quote
