I followed him closely in high school. Honestly he's the most raw player of all the incoming recruits. Highest ceiling maybe, and definitely the lowest floor.
How's his junpshot? streaky? at least he got to practice the entire second semester against the big boys, hopefully that will help

He's going to be a slightly better/more athletic Archie Goodwin probably. Quade playing alongside him is going to make him look better than he is though, just because he's so athletic.

Hope he has some good workouts, he's trending downward a bit right now. Very intriguing prospect though.

Bruce Brown bout to run shyt :Bless:

Curious to see how this incoming class affects Newton, seems like he doesn't have much of a fit anymore. I think Bruce should be full time PG and Lykes the backup.

I think Lonnie would be better at the 2 than the 3.

Dewan Huell might breakout a bit next season too.

Huell breakout it's over him and Izundu could run shyt also. Newton need to be the sixth man :francis:

That's what I was thinking with Newton. Ya'll have a bit of a problem with undersized guards.

Lykes is fine because he is a solid playmaker. But Newton and Vasiljevic are probably going to force Lonnie to the 3 unfortunately.

Might even be better with Bruce being a point forward instead.

Coach L will figure it out hopefully

kobi simmons gone and sean miller seems salty about it. i had great opinions of the kid early in the season, but he seems very me first and i think always intent on entering no matter how the season turned out. sean miller really stuck him to the bench once trier came back. as for my dukies, really wondering what grayson will do. part of me says g'luck to kennard, the other part of me says good riddance. gave us no help freshman year, stunk it up in both tourneys. scored alot this year while having a team around him much better than last year's to mask his deficiencies, but played absolutely zero D. he and his dad seem to be "me first" as well. if he's not scoring (and alot of his points were assisted), he's worthless on the court. smart move by him, he could've gotten exposed next year. i'm also hearing frank jackson's dad may be pushing him to test the waters which would be crazy. Hopefully duval and knox commit, and oach K stops playing so much gaddamn small ball rather than letting guys play their natural position. if allen is back and we get duval/knox, then he should go big/natural and start duval/allen/knox/carter/bolden with jackson/trent/delaurier/vrank off the bench. Knowing his stubborness, he'd do duval/jackson/allen/knox/carter so we can get eaten up on the inside again. :snoop:
