Nice to get a commitment but I have mixed feelings.

He's a reserve on his High School team that has a losing record, which is quite concerning. He barely has a profile on 247 where they haven't really even scouted him.  
Reminds me of JBA no longer starting at Westtown and his HS ranking dropping like a stone.

However, he does have requisite size and scholarship offers from TCU, Rutgers, Ok St.  And I respect Dixon, Pikel, and Boynton.  I might include all 3 of them in the top 12 of the next coach list but as Bees said, were those offers from 2020 still legit and on the table for him?

My opinion, is just like last year this program needs an immediate upgrade in talent.  And its hard for me to justify using a scholarship on a project.  Last year they had a 6:1 ratio between HS players and the portal.  It probably should have been about a 1:1 ratio.
If you cant get Top 100 HS players your better off taking productive college players.  Next year could be scary if things don't break right and JB doesn't go all out in the portal.

Hope Patterson proves me wrong.
