Really solid add this late in the recruiting period. We’ve got some serious size at the wing position.

I like what I see in that video: athletic, glides to the rim, soft shooting touch.

An Archbishop Mitty grad and winner of a lot of honors there. Surprising how little he got to play at Princeton. Only 49 minutes in 10 games.

Yes, I noticed that as well, Toke. Even highly regarded HS recruits often take quite a bit of time to adjust to the speed and physicality of the college game. They also have to learn how to balance their academics with the time demands of their sport especially at schools that require their athletes to actually do well in the classroom like Princeton and Davis. He may have been nursing and injury too.

He looks good on film and I know that Les is a master at developing "diamonds in the rough" who have been largely overlooked and are hungry to work hard and show what they can do. He seems like a great fit for us and I look forward to seeing him play this year.

Article about the 3 transfers that Les brought in this year:

Looks like tough defense leading to transition baskets will be a big part of the philosophy this year. Can’t wait!

Yes, that's the primary Les playbook: hard-nosed, disruptive defense, create TO's and push the ball in transition. It looks like we could have good depth this year so we should be able to play fast and hard at both ends of the court. Should be exciting!

Not sure where this goes

Nice find, PA. I went ahead and started a new topic for 2025 MBB Recruiting and Transfers and added this tweet.
