As others have alluded to, this is shaping up to be pretty close parallel to 2004 and our situation recruiting PGs then.

We really needed a PG that year and targeted Josh Wright, AJ Price and Kyle Lowry.

Wright was from Utica.  AJ Price was playing at Amityville HS on Long Island.  And Kyle Lowry was from North Philadelphia.

This time we are targeting Tillery, who is out of Albany, Jackson, who is from Baltimore but now plays for Overtime Elite out of Atlanta, and Acaden Lewis, out of Washington DC.

Lewis got his offer late and appears to be a player who developed late and might be underrated. Tillery might not be as exposed as the other two but the staff has seen him play a ton.  Especially Coach Autry, whose son played for on the same City Rocks team as Tillery for a while.

Is Jackson widely overrated or is this rough patch a phase in his development?

Time will tell.  I haven‘t watch film of any of them other than 30 seconds of Jackson.

Acaden is 6’2 170.  Tyler is 6’2 153.  Keyshuan is 6’0 180 (all heights and weights taken from 247).
