Just a reminder, Ja Morant was an “Ohio Valley level guy”

Is this guy on the same level as Jamel Morant? :p ;)
Murray State is a better program than ECU
There's a lot of good players in the smaller schools.
I wish there was a better caliber of guards in this year's portal but Newton appears to be among the better guards so why not - one thing he needs to do is cut down on the turnovers. He definitely had some impressive scoring games

Well well well

At flemings steakhouse for a birthday dinner and who is at the table next to us.

Dan Hurley, Andre Jackson, Jordan Hawkins, Tristen Newton and family. That was a pleasant surprise

Being recruited by Dan Hurley must feel awesome. If he wants you he damn well makes sure you know how much he does.

I bet to differ on this. Cole might not have had Boatright's athleticism but he was also a lot stronger and shiftier with his change of pace dribble. He aslo was a better passer. Boatright's problem was he was solely a 2 guaard in a PG body. Yes he could dribble an make a good pass but he didn't have any real PG instincts. Both great players in their own right and different.

Boatright had that burst that Jim talks about that a PG should ideally have, but I get the point he may not have been the most creative passer. His mom and uncle told Chief that his sister ran track at the University of Arkansas, so the speed burst was a family thing.
 
So 2 questions …
1. Who do we compare him to?
2. Upside potential could be similar to ?

Is he like a Sterling Gibbs with upside potential of poor man’s Jalen Adams?

I haven’t watched much film, curious to know your take ..

Just a question. Will better players around him help to bring down his turnovers?
Expand ...
Depends on the type of turnovers he made. He had 3 a game or thereabouts. So, if he dribbled it off his foot or stepped out of bounds bringing the ball upcourt, or overthrew his man, then better other players won't prevent those turnovers.

Better players around him will come to the ball if he is doubled, giving him a clear view to pass it to them, so he doesn't travel or throw away a pass when guarded without help from his teammates.

Worked there for years and all I ever served were ESPN guys. Van Pelt and Keyshawn were nice guys though. Too bad we weren’t open in time for any Calhoun visits

Jim sometimes would have them have dinner at his house. In particular, Chief remembers the Andrew Bynum dinner with Clyde V at Jim’s. Afterwards, Clyde and some players took him out. Jim wasn’t involved in the after party, Mrs Calhoun said that Andrew was the tallest human being ever at their house. This was before they moved to Pomfort.

Sign him up.

Give him the boat tours of Mirror and Swan Lake, if there are any.

Any and all ice cream on the house at the Dairy Barn.

What else is left?

....jalapeno mac & cheese, of course. Casual fan......
