I get it. If you look at how he performed in big games including Duke, his size and physical play along with just being a freshman I mean he’s a good prospect. He just shouldn’t be oversold either. There are a lot of things he does similar to comparable P4 guys who started at smaller schools. There are not a ton of 6-6/7 250 lb dudes in cbb who are still just frosh and who can do a number of things on the court. I’m looking at the player and what he’s done. He only had one chance to play a Duke level team and impressed after a strong year where he improved.

You can bet a lot of coaches saw him step up vs Duke and use his physicality against a fellow frosh that’s going to be a top 5 pick. I almost wish people get to see what kind of interest he would get upon entering the portal to make that point and that it’s hardly just Gerry wanting him to come and everyone else wouldn’t spend a minute looking at him.

A good example of how he can help is just look at a player like Carey at Tenn…. I’m gonna eat tons of crow if I’m wrong about this kid and own it but I don’t think I am. He’s a year away from major contributions but still can absolutely help now on a good P4 team. I’m higher on his long term value than Doty honestly as Doty has to get stronger.
