Check your math.

Yvan? He's 17.

In the small world department here he is hitting a buzzer beater vs Compass Prep which had Eduardo Andre

Quaran McPherson (prospectiveinsight.com)   Here's a long interview. Sounds like a combo guard with good size who played with Kofi Cockburn at some point. 

That Christ the King team was loaded. Also there was current Memphis Tiger and future NBA player Moussa Cisse as well as Tyson Walker, the guard that we and everyone else tried to get via transfer this spring who ended up at Michigan St.

He really is Elijah Wood 2.0.

He's also been to 4 schools in 5 years. I know it's his first day as a commit but probably can be added to the goes section of the who goes and stays 2022 thread. I will say that you can get a feel about guy by reading through everything they have online and FWIW it feels like McPherson could work his way into a few meaningful minutes at some point.

Finally, I think his father is former Nebraska Wesleyan player Abdullah McPherson who played Juco ball at Nebraska Western CC

Oh shit, here we go with the tired Yvan (usually spelled incorrectly) age jokes.

 

Nothing tired about it.
 

Long live Yvan, the 17(!!!) year old!

I think I may have mentioned this more than once...but I really like PG coming out of the NY City area.  Welcome to Lincoln and the construction of a team that is going to make some history in the very near future.

Man, has this game passed me by. At least off the court. 

On the other hand, as a long time As fan and one of the people who can actually explain what "Moneyball" really is, this appears to be Hoiberg's schtick. He appears to be identifying the basketball recruiting versions of "market inefficiencies" and exploiting them. 

I don't know if this will translate into wins ultimately--such is the high regard I have for the people running hoops in the B1G--but this is the first time I can really see an actual plan in what Hoiberg's doing as a coach. 

If anything else, it's making my favorite team interesting, which, for me, is probably as important if not more important than winning. 

Oh shit, here we go with the tired Yvan (usually spelled incorrectly) age jokes.
 

That's ok, after all you are only 17. (I assume)

I like him!  Explosive athlete and looks like he'd be a good sized PG.  I think he'll be able to learn a lot as a Trey understudy.  

Funny how underwhelmed everyone seems to be about 3* players these days.  This kid looks legit to me.  

I have no problem with Fred's brother and buddy system.  I think it's a brilliant way to recruit.

Good, the Yvan is young jokes get really old.......................unlike Yvan.

In accordance with Robert's Rules of Order we have achieved a Quaran

People would be doing jumping jacks if Doc Sadler got this guy when he was head coach.  Now people wondering if this is a walk on prospect.  I love it.

I'm just glad Quaran is not a teen. The past year has made me very leery of that combo.

Was he higher than a 3 star before he tore his ACL?

Solid 2 minutes of me staring at this before it clicked.

I don't know if he was rated higher but it appears his focus was going to the west coast. He had offers from UCLA, Arizona and lots of PAC-12 teams that went away after the injury.

Quarantine...pretty solid dad joke from Jimmy. 

Today's OWH had an article about Quaran being a defensive stopper for us.

Saw the article. Referred to Doc as the defensive coordinator!!
