Interesting player. Didn't play PG off dead balls but every single transition outlet went to him and he flew. Real active on the ball as a defender in press and initial PG but then once the ball was entered it was stand and watch. Ball screens pretty much took him out of the play.

Offensively I loved him as a passer in all ways. Transition, halfcourt, swinging the ball, hitting cutters, attacking and locating, etc. He also can score as he's the 13th leading EYBL scorer. Three point percentage is just under 29 so that needs to be up.

He's a four star player, I like him as a fit here. I thought he would have more HM offers by now though, expect that he will soon. Would be a great recruit here for next year. He or Quentin Goodin. They are in on a couple really good PGs

I can hear you all know:

1.) do we have the numbers? I think they will sign three this fall. I can't see the current roster being perfect numbers wise all the way through mid-November. It never works like that here, or really in college basketball anywhere.

2.) do they need a PG? Another PG that pushes and could play with Dorsey or behind him would be awesome for this team. Especially guys like Goodin or Ponds who are great fits and top 100 guys.
