Quade? Isn't he due back at Mars by now......or was that a dream?

He's only 5'11? Interesting. Does it show that we're moving forward from exclusive lengthy zone? Or are we keeping a reliable pipeline alive?

Gilbert is the same height as well. Seems to me that the staff is now looking for PG's that can ball regardless of height and zone fits. Wish they had that same attitude for Monte Morris and Jalen Brunson.

As others have said, I think this is a good indicator that Hop is going to play at least a good chunk of man to man.

So Gore's favorite player.

And even Devonte Graham...

A welcome change, IMO.

Music to my ears. I get that we value size / athleticism and recruit guys to fit the zone system, but PG is the one position where you shouldn't sacrifice skill for measureables. Get the best PG you can get, period. Regardless of height. Most important position on the floor in the collegiate game--bar none.

Love Philly guards.

30 schools. This thread has some serious potential. So ala Michael Porter thread, decipher away!

Let me try: Syracuse logo is at his elbow. I believe that shot he's about to drain is an elbow jumper. Pa and Pow.

Also, let's not forget. That ball he's shooting. The world is yours, Tony Montana.

He said that he wants to use a 3/4 press.

Sept 23rd

He's going to be our first 2017 signee...

Looking at the film, his shooting form is perfect. If you were looking for someone to serve as a computer model for perfect form, it would be him. No wasted motion, short, smooth, fast release. Just perfect.

It is really unusual to have someone who can get their shot off that fast and that consistent at his age.

Of course, he looks like a great ball handler and distributor too. Didn't see him much on defense. My guess is that he will get a lot of steals and defections though. He is very quick and athletic.

Reminds me a lot of the Gilbert kid that we were going after that ended up committing to some school on the East Coast down by Jersey.

Love this kid's game -- but I don't recall ever seeing any players from his high school. ; )

Hope we land this kid on the 23rd. Would be a quality "get."

As we've discovered these past two offensively anemic seasons, you can never have enough shot makers.
