If Fred and Matt flew out to watch him work out and offered on the spot, they saw something they really liked.  I trust Fred’s ability to assess players completely.     Welcome to the family De

I’d said this elsewhere but the coaches usually take at least one project player each cycle. These are guys they can work with at the end of the bench that aren’t going to need minutes right away. If

Saw a quote from Hoiberg that Dawson already dives on the floor for more balls that the rest of the team combined.   Good on him .... but wow on everyone else. I'm going to put a positive sp

Here's a quick report about this player, from an August 17, 2021, report by Ontheradarhoops.com on that weekend's Super 6 Showcase in Atlanta:

 

Denim Dawson Jones 6’5 2022 California Stars Black

The high wire act was on display in his last game before his Stars team headed out the door. A tremendous leaper off one foot, he was quite the crowd pleaser. Dawson Jones had one of, if not the best first steps in the gym. He didn’t use wasted dribbles to get where he needed to go, and at 6’5 he was very aggressive when it came to cleaning the defensive boards. I’d like to think the forward helped himself a lot over the weekend as he’s originally a part of the 2021 class, but is opting for a 5th year.

 

And here's a related tweet:

Y'know it's kinda complicated searching for a basketball player out there name Denim Dawson when there's actually a clothing company called Dawson Denim.

 

But it looks like he also holds an offer from Iowa.

 

Oh, wait, I'm being told that's *Iona*.  Which is almost the same exact thing.

Oh so the thread title is misspelled...his name actually IS Denim.

 

Cool.  Coolcoolcool.

 

Just finished a rewatch of Community.  Definitely my favorite comedy, although it did lose its mojo after Donald Glover left.

That's cool, a shoo-in N.I.L. opportunity... 😉

Sounds like this guy is committing tomorrow.  Has to be a good sign for us with the recent visit!

 

I trust the coaching staff but this one isn't going to make me jump up and down if he commits here which sounds like he will

Where’s it posted that he’s committing tomorrow? His Twitter doesn’t have anything on it with a date.

 

His instagram story has photos of a countdown timer.  Not sure if it was set correctly though because it would mean he's announcing at 3AM CST 🙃

I think it's certainly possible he could develop into a Big Ten-level guard/wing. I don't think he's there yet, but he has upside. He's strong and athletic. His reputation is he has a great motor. Skill-wise, he's not quite there. His dribbling and shooting seem a bit herky-jerky. Haven't seen game film, but his highlights suggest he's still a bit raw. But, it looks like he's our raw guy who has upside, so welcome aboard, young man!

If Fred wants a kid enough to give him a committable offer in the early signing period, then the kid is good enough to play for us.  Not saying Dawson's tape or offer list jumps out as elite, but HCFH doesn't throw those early offers out like candy.  I think anytime we land a kid in the early signing period that means he's a Plan A or Plan B kind of dude.

We're currently full on scholarships for 2022 but we can sign one over.  I think since Blaise hasn't signed a LOI yet we in theory could sign two...I'm not sure if verbals count towards this.

 

At this point I think we might only be able to sign either Dawson or Lawrence and I wonder if we'd only want to sign one.
