He can handle the ball and he knows the offense.

Think about it this way...We would replace Trevor Moores senior year with Jalen Tates...
Sign me up! Sounds like a Jareau type. Long with ball skills can't shoot the 3 well but can score everywhere else. Knows the system. Defends well. Rebounds well. Maybe Brannen can bring his 3 ball back to life. Put some muscle weight on the kid and it seems like a no brainer to me.

Then focus on a transfer big and maybe a late bloomer HS kid
