We got him!

 

[deepdarkblue]

Yay?

 

[Thain]

Who is he?

 

[Pantone287]

Just spent five minutes googling him. My takeaways are:
- Is thought of as a 4
- Is 6'8 or so but apparently only has a 6'7 wingspan
- Stats seem to show 80%+ FT, not great 3PT% but shoots them a lot
- Shot form looks horrible
- Decent handle for a bigger guy
- Doesn't block a lot of shots

This seems like something that won't be relevant for at least 3 years.

Or may no longer be relevant in 3 years.

Welcome to Duke and ignore this forum.

Also has a low motor. Should work out.

Axes may be right yet again. If we land Kum and Williams, that’s a 7 man class. Isn’t that what he predicted?

 

[rome8180]

Was he a Duke fan growing up or something? I always get a little nervous with guys who commit to Duke without thinking about it much. It's worked out well for us when they were longtime Duke fans though.

Duke was his dream school. #Blessed

 

[Pantone287]

Also heard he's 110% committed, which is actually 10% more than you need, so we should be good.

8 man class. The Erotic Eight.

The Erect ========8

[CMon85]

Is he more of a 3 or a 4?

 

[childress22]

I think more of a four, especially at Duke. He's basically the same size as Hurt, even if he he's a little more fluid on the perimeter.

 

[CMon85]

I just didn’t know if he had any perimeter skills or if he’s an Amile/LT clone or something close.

 

[childress22]

Definitely has some perimeter skills, at least a shot. In these particular AAU highlights, he looks more like a stronger Cam Reddish, though in other ones he seems like a solid enough interior defender.

 

[Slap the Floor]

This is the recruit I know the least about. It felt like we barely even recruited him and then he just committed out of nowhere.
