Class of 2025 Some unexpected good news….

Ok so you get Costanza and Kiyan to play with Sadiq and this kid and if Petar is ready could play the 5… then you add some portal help and wow. Plus Womack as a developmental kid.

This kid looks like he could play the point
Either guard position. Good looking shot. Can’t teach size. Typical euro fundamentals. Worried about keeping guys in front of him - might have to guard opposing 2s.

But really like what I see.
 
Geeze Jake sure knows how to give a guy some morning wood

Oh, it's Kline alright

You have to build creatively in this environment and have a much bigger picture when recruiting. Once Alex was on board this is exactly what you would expect. Basketball talent is exponentially growing over seas and flooding NBA rosters. So glad to see we are diving into that talent pool so quickly now.

I always love getting kids that didn't go through the crap of playing on AAU travel teams here. Their butts haven't been kissed all of their lives

There's a lot to dislike about the USA basketball model and what it does to the players mindsets. Basketball is supposed to be a team game, selfish play is the demise of a team.
 
And a lot of the overseas player have good fundamentals, which makes for good team play.
Yup.

You can see this guy has been well coached. Uses his body well to protect the ball. Can dribble, pass and finish with either hand. Quick release and really nice form on his jumper.

I also like his body is already well filled out. They list him at 190 and I believe it. Suspect he will be 195 or 200 by the time he enrolls in classes here.

The thing we were really lacking in the class was a PG. I think this is our guy. Pretty sure he will be good being a pass first guy who will work the pick and roll, execute set plays and take care of the ball.

And he is a good athlete. Check out the dunk driving in the paint early in the film. He isn't a freak athlete but he is solid here.

The one thing you can't see at all is how he plays defense. Hopefully he can hold his own there. If he can, he has a chance to start from day one.

The one thing I keep seeing in the last couple of recruits is a high hoops IQ. He plays like a college player who is at the end of their sophomore year or is a junior.

I assume this is not a coincidence. And it will probably result in less broken TVs in CNY the next few winters. ;)

Is there any chance he enrolls in January and just practices with the team the spring semester?
