Agreed. I guess it comes down to, does he want to win, or does he want guaranteed immediate minutes?

Really exciting. Has he been on campus yet?

From the clips I have seen, he looks like he has great court vision. Always seemed a step ahead. I hope we get him, he fits exactly into the category of player we're looking for. He has great size too.

What's the scoop on him? Very few offers from high level programs. Is he an under the radar type guy waiting to blow up? I figured with Cumberland and Brooks in 2016 they'd go after more high major targets to build off the hype and complement those two.

Didn't play on a well exposed AAU team. Recruitment has blown up of late with many high majors offering. As I mentioned earlier, he is reminiscent of Troy Caupain.

He's rated better than Brooks (109 compared to 191) on 247, so I'm not sure why you'd think Brooks is considered a much better prospect. Cumberland, though, was a huge get. Just can't expect to land a bunch like him.

It's not a bad list, but nothing special. Mostly average programs.

You're right, I probably should just have said Cumberland. Obviously he was a big recruit but was hoping Mick would real in more high profile recruits for 2016 in addition to Cumberland. Obviously there is still lots of time.

Interesting. Having an NBA PG as the new head coach must be incentive enough. The kid seems like a loyal guy so maybe they've been recruiting him the longest. Maliek White is going to visit in a few weeks and isn't a bad consultation prize.
