Great kid! Great work by the staff to find him.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Seems like a great kid. His game reminds me of Enosch Wolf. I can't be the only one who sees it.

 

[Deepster]

I’m an immediate fan. Pulling hard for him.

I'm with you. Hoping to see this kid shine!

I was really impressed with him in the exhibition. Calm. Steady veteran leadership when he's on the court. A great find by the staff. He gets a chance to play for a big time program and earn himself a grad degree in the process. win/win for everybody.

 

[Lafayette]

This is why the portal works - while freshman get nervous in their first game, these experienced players are rocks...steady, plays within the system, and gets the job done.

Already like him more than Mahaney for this team.

 

[AllHusky]

Wow, how refreshing. With Gen Z being trashed from all angles for their attitude and work ethic and selfishness, this kid is a breath of fresh air. He will help us this year in some tangible way. He’s already helping with a lot of intangibles.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Most games he probably won’t have a huge impact, but whether by injury or foul trouble, there will definitely be games this year where he plays a key role and we are incredibly happy to have the kind of PG depth that we have this year. Love that the staff saw a big weakness on last year’s squad and did such a great job to address both the top-end talent and depth at the PG position.

Yeah I see that.. I also think his game is a bit Doron Sheffer combined with Souleyman Wane.

 

[Jaydumo20]

Good dude. Clearly very skilled. And the best golfer on the team i hear

 

[DOZE860]

Getting Craig Austrie vibes from him after watching the exhibition

 

[NJHusky]

wow...seems like a great dude to have on the team!! Sounds like he will be successful in whatever he chooses...focused, goal oriented and humble....winning combo.

Hopefully playing at Uconn gets him some exposure that he can parlay either in BB or biz

And this excludes Braylon.

 

[NJHusky]

How does he define elite? Is it above a certain %? AK shot below 35% last season....my guess is Mullins will be above 40%, so not a bad group

He has a formula to project next year's 3pt% (career % and attempts, per possession rate, probably ft%) and he took 90th percentile of D1 and above. Didn't include freshman since he can't project them.

Going way back in Husky legendville now, but he and Gary Custick came from the same mold.

 

[husky429]

This doesn't even account for Mullins or Demary who shot 37% last year.

Wow you’re old lol. He, Earl Wilsonand Cal Chapman were the beginning for me with Al Weston and Jimmy Foster (Al Vaughn off the bench) in the back court. Really good Yankee Conference team.
