Agreed that he looks pretty athletic for his size - moves well, smooth, and runs the floor. The coast to coast sequences stood out to me. Adding some weight and being willing to play around the basket (and not float on the perimeter) will hopefully be a focus as he develops.
Man - I didn't even see that he was a Wisconsin commit. Walk-on for 2023 class. I'm gonna hate watching him be the next MN dude that tears us up if he sticks with it and gets on scholarship. Always thought he looked smoothly athletic in the local recruiting videos.
Not a surprise. The older merc motors are known to be problematic. He'd be better off with any of the newer 4 strokes, mercury included. EFI is too thirsty and smoky. My yamaha runs clean.
So is it safe to say that this staff has rebuilt some bridges with the local AAU crowd? D1 Minnesota kids seemed to be Pitino's white whale for the last few classes. 3 MN kids from 3 different teams, 2 of which are major national fixtures - right?
No disrespect to what Gonzaga has done/Mark Few has accomplished, but do you think there is any part of the decision that hinged on a lack of a football program at Gonzaga? The ship has sailed and we're beating a dead horse here, but it's food for thought - there's the ability to focus solely...
There were stories about this kid in the St. Cloud area papers several years back - something about him attending a national camp. Didn't know that he made the move to Totino Grace. There seems to be a promotion machine running in the background of his football career.
I don't recall him having any discipline issues while at the U, he wasn't a part of any of the scandals, and he's making the most of his educational opportunity finishing his degree at the U. He's also served as an awesome role model for an underrepresented part of the Twin Cities (North MPLS)...
