This must be a final roster spot/project play otherwise meh

Oh yeah, definitely 13th spot type developmental thing (assuming he's real). I'm fine with that as long as there's only one.

I really enjoyed this quote from OP:

"The team is coached by a man named Zen Bliss, a totally not fake name. He has relationships with ALL the top schools: Pittsburgh, Temple, CCSU, SCSU, Tulsa, Lake Erie, Edinboro, Eastern Michigan, Duquesne, Middle Tennessee, Rice, Western Michigan".

Big PM Dawn fan, that Zen Bliss.

I feel bad, maybe we aren't giving this kid a fare Cheikh?

The coaches bio at "Prestige Worldwide" sounds more of a snake oil salesman than basketball coach. Someone else mention the Bishop Sycamore deal and this being like that, that's exactly what this is.

Is Grasso coaching down there?

Fresh name, old meatball look.

If anyone is interested in watching more (I don't recommend):

Flight 22 Prep NC vs PW Blue (Full Game)
We Are United MO vs PW Blue (Full Game)
2/13/24 PW Blue vs UIC (1st Half)
2/13/24 PW Blue vs UIC (2nd Half)

I'm admittedly skipping ahead to offensive possessions where he actually gets the ball because I just have morbid curiosity at this point. I think he's missed the entire hoop on more than half of his shots so far and I haven't seen him score yet, including a few missed free throw attempts for the 80% shooter. Entirely possible I skip too far and miss a few of his 24 points per game though.

Edit: I have seen my first made free throw!

Edit x2: I ended up watching more of these videos than I should have, but he did probably score around 10-15 points in two of the other games but it was quite ugly getting to those points.

Listen, is it even worth bringing on an international player if there aren't major questions about credibility of either the player himself, his circumstances, or those in his orbit?

I humbly submit that no, it is not.

 

[two3zone]

Wonder how old he is.

 

[Janner]

No idea if this kid is worth a scholarship, or if he is an "International player", but if he is International its worth remembering that they can not collect NIL

I found two box scores of games against community colleges, they don’t have individual stats for PW, but one game they lost 110-36 and went 1-22 from 3 point land. The other game they lost by 30 and scored in the 50’s and shot 4-18 from 3. I hate to be negative, but I don’t believe his stats.

They lost 110 to 36 because he was guarding all 5 positions.

Guys, I know the family. Bliss his wife Ecstasy, son Sun, and two daughters Morning and Night are amazing.

To be fair, he's just taking it from what Zach Smart (Rivals) is tweeting. I don't know what the deal is exactly, but seems like Smart talks about this Prestige "program" a lot. Cheikh is now the third player he's written articles/tweeted about in the past couple months.

They're all falling for a scam or getting paid to push a scam

Does that make him an international man of mystery?

Mid 30s.

Still younger than Bacot.
