Called this one a while ago. Game reminds me of Precious Achiuwa. Another kid that could be our first 5*

He's a Murray recruit. I imagine Kimani will be involved too

Watson says Connecticut, North Carolina, and Oklahoma State are the programs that have been on him the hardest.

Connecticut: "Dan Hurley and Luke Murray recruit me. They like me because I am energetic. They let their forwards and bigs play. They also get up and down the floor and are scrappy on the defensive end.”

He reminds me a lot of Precious. Less talented at the same stage, but similar games. Less athletic, probably a little more skilled in handling the ball. The biggest concern is his shooting ability at the 4 IMO. He has dropped big time in the rankings (from top 15 to 40+) because he was uber-talented early in HS and seemed to plateau recently.

Still a really talented kid. Sign me up.
