Point guard from Springfield, MA & a BABC teammate of Nerlens Noel.
Hoyas Supposedly offered him today. Has listed Syracuse and Louisville as his favorites in the past.
had a huge spring/summer given the type of prospect he was regarded to be before hand. Kid can really shoot the ball and plays within himself/structure. He almost reminds me of Jon Wallace.

His jump shot reminds me of pee wee basketball. Let's hope he's farrrrrr down the list of PGs in the 2013 class

His shot looks like Jon Wallace. Good spot.

He lacks ideal size, but he has skills. The Jon Wallace comparison is pretty good because he's a deadly shooter from three-point land and plays under control. He's also a good finisher on the break and a solid ball-handler.
He benefits greatly from playing with Nerlens Noel and Georges Niang who attract a lot of attention in the paint which often leaves him open for threes. However, he's just okay shooting off the dribble. Also isn't the most aware defender and often looks disinterested on the defensive end.
I thought he was a mid-major prospect but he definitely helped himself in July.
I doubt it would help much with Noel, but if he grows a little and becomes a more willing defender, he'd be a solid addition. Not the PG I'd prefer, but I wouldn't be upset about it.

nice. He doesn't fit the ideal size/athleticism most of us covet at PG right now, but this kids is a pretty solid ball player. Tough kid, too.

If I'm interpreting their tweets correctly, Nerlens was supposed to join him this weekend. Or at least that was the plan a week ago.
