Offered. Heard about him a few months ago. He’s from New Zeland.
6-9, 190…SF/PF. Goes to South Kent.
Extremely athletic, like freak athlete.
Under the radar right now. Once was committed to George Washington. Has been getting some bigger name offers recently like DePaul, Pitt, Rutgers and Arizona State. But for the most part still flying under the radar.
Raw offensively in terms of all around game but this kid can be a really good slasher and finisher. Think Jerami Grant. This kid is a better shooter than Jerami and better mechanics coming out of high school that’s for sure but would not call Tafara a great shooter by any means. Kid can get up and has the potential to be a really good wing player for us in the same mold Jerami was. Jerami was very raw coming to Cuse offensively but made good on 2nd chance points, slashing and finishing around the rim and being a menace on defense. This kid is very, very similar and fits that mold. Tafara runs really well and can get up and down the court well, once again think Jerami Grant. Which would be perfect because of the style of play of the guards we are bringing in this year. Mintz and Copeland love to push the ball and run and will get their teammates the ball on the run. This kid would be perfect the perfect match for the style of play Mintz and Copeland play.
Under the radar for the most part for the time being but I can see some bigger named teams getting involved before this one is over. I’m usually not sold with under the radar kids but if this kid wanted to commit today, take him and try to get this wrapped up quick in my opinion.
