this kid can ball check the article http://www.beastfitnation.com/future...ighlight-tape/
Future of Xavier basketball is strong check his video http://www.beastfitnation.com/future...ighlight-tape/
Never heard of him. I'll check him out.
Nice video, just a little disapointed they didn't show him shaking hands.
he's not the future of Xavier basketball unitl he signs his LOI.
He's a JuCo with a year left to decide what he wants to do and only upside if he decides he wants to play college ball. I don't mean to sound like a negative Nelly, but why would he sign a LOI? What's in it for him? It's not like we're moving on if he doesn't...Quote:

I also agree with you that it's a bit early to be calling him the future of XU basketball. Hell, even if he signs his LOI he's in the class of players that I think we need to wait until he suits up. Too many things could keep him from every playing for us.Quote:

This will erase the probably terrible hs transcript since he will hopefully have a good college GPA.
This is where the "longshot" comes in. Has to totally change his habits and buckle down. If he otherwise just keeps hanging around until he's 19, some pro club will take a chance on him (maybe not in the US, but somebody).
His HS transcript may have been so fractured the Prep Schools told him "2 years" after this year.
He's going to kill this season Check his highlight tape! http://www.beastfitnation.com/future...ighlight-tape/
MY GOD :eek:
He comes next year, 2013-2014.
You can really see this guy is comfortable with his dribble. Better than most at his level.
No defense is played in these games, but he seems good as reported. Hope he really comes to Xavier and makes some positive noise.
So what is the deal. Is the issues with him being too cocky? Uncoachable? Temper? Definitely worth the risk.
Wow... looks really quick off the dribble, and changes direction on a dime. Can he drain the long ball when the defense sags on him? I hope so! That would be a great 1-2 punch.
From what I gather there are no off the court issues. He is very coachable. The problem seems to stem with arguing with refs and getting T'd up. I don't think this has really been an issue for the last 1 1/2 years but it seems to keep following him.Quote:

That was just nasty. Loved how the guy filming couldn't keep himself from chucklingQuote:
