PROJECTION​

Power-5 Starter


Well built and physical guard. Has functional athleticism in traffic. Ideal playing off the ball as a shooter and slasher. Has a reliable shooting stroke. Can attack the basket and finish with either hand. Solid overall ball handler and passer. Rebounds his position well.

Beating Nova for a recruit is fantastic. Jay Wright's hit rate on 3* guards is 500%.

 

[Umami Zen]

Can always use tough two way guards.. Prides himself on his defense.. Upgrade from BA..

 

[husky99]

He will be a top 40 to 50 recruit by his senior year. He will jump into the top 100 this summer..(if aau is going)

 

[Watchdog]

With the job Steve's done why should anyone be surprised? I'm watching their games and shaking my head that he was their third or fourth choice. Solid team that plays hard and aggressively.

And, Cliff, for all the hype, isn't moving into the starting lineup anytime soon, so that tells us how well Steve and Carl have recruited.

No question he's underrated by services.. Lack of AAU/high school games due to COVID hurt his ratings but he definitely passes the eye test. .Perfect pick up by DH/staff for our system/style of play... Small Ball w/Lil Sool/JHawk will be fun..

 

[Watchdog]

Well you can call him CJ. Or you can call him CJF. Or you call call him CJF, Junior. Or you can call him CJFJ.
But you don't have to call him Floyd.

Couldn't resist adding this video:

If he is a rock solid and tough defender as others above state and he is 6-5 and long and we add the offensive projection above, what's not to like?

Anyone else?

A 6’4 Vital hopefully.

He ain't 6'5. Nor is he 6'4. 6'3 will probably be his listing and that's a stretch.

Super long arms though. I'd think his reach is probably around what you'd see from a 6'4 or 6'5 guy.

Why is anyone getting excited about a Brendan Adams replacement from Jersey.

 

[Fatroony5]

Why is anyone getting excited about a Brendan Adams replacement from Jersey.

Because he’s a top 100 player that plays good defense and is strong with the ball. he has great upside. Being able to add a top 100 player this early in the ‘22 class would be a great thing.

 

[HooperScooper]

Why is anyone getting excited about a Brendan Adams replacement from Jersey.

Because some people on here have no idea what they're talking about when describing a recruit.

 

[husky429]

How about you can replace Brendan Adams's role (ideally a tough, strong bench guard with a well-rounded skill set) with someone who is better at that role.

 

[Get a Job]

How about you can replace Brendan Adams's role (ideally a tough, strong bench guard with a well-rounded skill set) with someone who is better at that role.

But you didn't address the fact that he is a guard from New Jersey, and therefore he is hot garbage.

 

[dennismenace]

Because some people on here have no idea what they're talking about when describing a recruit.

How then would you describe him?

 

[HooperScooper]

How then would you describe him?

Don't know, I've never seen him play. Which is why I'm not on here saying just because he's rated around 100 he's a Brendan Adams replacement player. He may end up being that but Hurley seems to have made him a priority recruit so that's good with me. People forget Bouknight was rated like 70. So was Shabazz. So was Boatright.

I think you're completely misinterpreting what people mean when they say he's a Brendan Adams replacement player

You don't understand the comments at all. The only thing I and maybe others are saying is be has a similar package of skills. I would expect him to end up a lot better at those skills over time.

 

[Deuce]

I know very little about the criteria to rank recruits or anything related but to my untrained eye he looks like he will be a hell of a lot better than the 125th best freshman in the country when he arrives. The ranking seems preposterously off

 

[UCfor3]

The comps seem to be because he is a strong, well put together 2 way guard and that will be his role. He seems to have more upside and skill to turn into a key contributor and perform in that role at a higher level. Think both are correct. Just some misinterpretation of each others intentions.

 

[Waquoit]

You don't understand the comments at all.

Are you going to pretend that there wasn't a little shade attached to the comment in question?

Significantly more athletic than B. Adams.

 

[Umami Zen]

Significantly more athletic that B. Adams.

And thusly.. An upgrade..
