Doesn't seem that Trier is going to happen based on what I have been reading around here. I would be happy if the staff could lock Reaves up today.

Class is looking great but needs at least one guard. except he has been playing wing in high school. because his ball handling skills and shots have not been there. in my opinion, he is kinda like aaron bowen with a bit higher ceiling..

Guards can also play on the wings, or am I missing something?

I do not believe that the Bowen comparison is appropriate. Josh is already an elite defender and would come in as the best defending guard that we have had since AI.

B&G, you have anything for us on Joshua? Staff loves what he can bring on both ends of the court. They believe he would play an important role as soon as he sets foot on campus.

Exactly right -- and the passing skills Reaves already has are much stronger as well.

Well, luckily we should have more than enough guys who can score then.

Reminds me more of Jason Clark personally but doesn't have the shot JC had and defends better than JC.

This kid is more fluid than Jabril. While Jabril is an explosive athlete, he's a little deliberate in everything he does. This kid is not. I'd say he has a higher ceiling than Jabril.

"Aaron Bowen with a higher ceiling" is the wrong way to describe any player we're recruiting. If we're recruiting them, they've got to have a higher ceiling than Aaron Bowen.
Jabril is also a terrible comparison. Jabril is a decent athlete, in terms of measurables, but he doesn't play the game athletically. He's never going to be much more than what he is now, which is a very average D1 guard.
