Saw that on the Twitter last night. Looks like a great get- love PGs with length like that.

Watched the vid..carries his dribble a bit high, but he definitely looks to create off the drive...it'd be interesting to have a PG who does that.

He apparently xferred out of the Flint schools to Swartz Creek, MI as a junior to better prepare for college (academically...Swartz Creek is not a hotbed fr D1 recruiters). Good to see a kid with a plan coming here...

Good looking student-athlete. Lanky. WMU etc loses out. When you combine Tisdale and Denny, you have a creator/scorer and a long range shooter w a scoring mentality. Good to spot these future Falcons taking in a beautiful football Saturday. Coaching staff probably wanted these two to spend a little early time together.

Go Falcons!

Pass-first PG with great size. I like the "Flint" toughness that he will bring. Looks like the best PG prospect BG has had on the floor since Pardon?? Can't think of another one that had this sort of skillset.

This kid will put butts in seats. Nice add. Just what we needed.

He and Jehvon Clarke will combine to give is terrific speed and quickness in the backcourt.

We are currently beating out good programs to get verbal commitments for November.

....by the way, I wonder what this kid's jumper looks like?

WOW. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWjvTbw1 ... ure=relmfu

Explosive athlete, nice on D (although hard to judge with the competition), great offensive awareness. He is my favorite recruit since Clarke.

I had not watched the first video and thought you all were overstating his passing ability. I think its pretty amazing that in 3 separate videos he seems like 3 different plays.

1. Pass first pg with great court vision
2. Utility team guy who plays more of a post role
3. Great defender and explosive scorer

Love it.

I know the MAC's a guard league, but where are our 6'8' recruits that are athletic and can play?

Akron?

Starting at PF? Playing sparing minutes at SF or PF?

[orangeandbrown]

Well, whether they can play or not will remain to be seen both both of this year's recruits fill that bill.

Akron?

They have one less of those players as of today. They announced that Quincy Diggs has been suspended from school for the year because he "violated the student code of conduct."

Cheating on academics? Hitting a coed? Drugs or Alcohol? Stealing?

[BleedOrange]

Akron won't miss a beat without Diggs. They had guys coming off there bench that were as good or better players.
