I love how after the first dunk, Corey almost body slams his teammate that just came to celebrate.

Can we give Hawkins a QBs red shirt for practice? Floyd is going to break our best shooter if he is catching bodies like that

This young man has tremendous ball and body control. In a highlight reel filled with speed and direction changes, many in traffic, I noted two travels/carries -- in the strictest sense, and one of those was questionable. And nothing that could remotely be called a charge.

In today's game, that's almost unheard of.

But can he play defense? Because if he can, he's like a guard version of Adama. Big and strong with moves.

Did I mention that I like this kid?

What's defense now a days. Shadow you man to the hoop or give up a wide open 3. My kids are like dad you play D like you are wearing those tight shorts in those videos you showed us. You have been asked not to come back to the court for 2 weeks.

I just love this kid’s game. We usually don’t get a player coming in as physically mature as Corey. And he’s still really young. I can just imagine him with a year or 2 of college level S&C.
 
So what's up with the ranking? People are calling this kid an NBA player so I'm curious why he can't break into the top 100.

For people that actually know something about recruiting I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. I'm not interested in a dopey "well, he committed to UConn - if he was going to Duke he'd be top 20."

I DM'd with a national recruiting guy the other week. Says that Corey will still be in the 100-150 range after their next update because 1) size. He's basically a 6'3 small forward. 2) His shooting is suspect. 3) 1v1 shot creating, he doesn't necessarily know how to shoot off the dribble and is easy to guard in iso situations.

So the “better” BA comps are fair

I would agree with that. IMO his recruitment shows that we're recognizing the need for role players, and elevating the type of role players that we're bringing in. No more Jumpman, or guards that are going to take 2 years before they can even touch the floor without being a liability.

There's a lot of hyperbole about his game on here, and I've definitely been a part of that. I think he stands a chance of being a really, really good player for us. But more likely he's a solid team guy and a foundational piece that plays within a team concept. The kind of guy you need on top-10 teams to complement your stars.

Sounds like someone who will excel with talent around him.

Does he guard college 1s and 2s? I'm trying to get a sense of what his role is going to be. Glue guy who can bench three plates?

My dream CF player comp if he is just an undersized valuable team guy is Mark Vital at Baylor last year
 
This kid looks phenomenal. All his shots are at the rim, dunks and 3s. Hyper athletic, competitive and tough. He can finish easily through contact. Also a humble, coachable, well spoken kid. A willing passer. What more could you ask for?

I guess the only knock would be that he’s more of a straight line athlete, not as fluid as some other guards his size. But that can be fixed through S&C

I just don't understand how you can possibly know this stuff. No one on here knows if he is humble or coachable. Because his AAU coach said it? I said some pretty nice things about my AAU players before, and in the back of my head I was thinking "this kid is a major ." Have you ever heard a recruit of ours ISN'T the hardest worker in the gym? They always say that stuff. Well-spoken I'm assuming you know from a few interviews. I also don't really care if a kid is humble.

I would call him a good athlete, not a "hyper" athlete. He's certainly strong and gets up. Jackson is a "hyper athlete"--his athleticism is in another realm.
