got good news for us Cuse fans.....this kid is going to blow up here and be a solid contributor and GREAT player by his third year here, maybe second.  He has skills you can't teach.  I played the exact same position on D as this kid and look for/know the nuances of what's involved and needed to excel at this position.  The difference is I wasn't good enough to be used on both sides of the ball like this kid and do well no less.

Has the quicks, the instincts and the intangibles. As I said things you simply can't teach as its either God given or it isn't, and it's what you try and retain as you add size, strength and bulk. Look at his film and how he is fast and athletic enough to nearly always be keeping contain against not one but frequently two blockers, and when he's nearly caught out of position he utilizes his quicks with a spin move to get quickly to his responsibility lane, this move is incredibly difficult, difficult to keeps ones balance to keep upright chugging along.  Only the best athletes can pull it off.

This along with his cutting ability when he has the ball making kids miss, at 6'4" 250 no less!  What a great sleeper!  Like I said with Verse well before that exploded, watch and enjoy this kid as he "overperforms" here, which will be an unfair way to characterize,  as the kids legit and the real deal.

Good for us!!
