Nice video on the kid.. You can see the work with his trainer is paying off, the drive & pull-up jumper @ the 32 second mark is lovely.. The kid has skills..
More importantly looks to have a high upside..

Looks to me like a left-handed Robert Churchwell...

If he plays like Churchwell, then pass. We should be shooting for higher.

He could've had better numbers, was an excellent role player and made the NBA (although briefly). I liked how DFW put it: www.hoyabasketball.com/features/top100/r_churchwell.htm

While Churchwell was no superstar, he was a very good player, and I would take his clone in a heartbeat.

Ah...no. Churchwell was a mediocre Big East player on some of JT's worst teams. It was his team in 1992-93 that broke the NCAA streak by going to NIT. Those are years I'd like to forget.
If we are looking to clone a bunch Robert Churchwells, we are not shooting to be a Top 20 ish, nationally relevant team.

He's game is reminiscent of Churchwell's....doesn't mean that he performs like Churchwell. I like the kids length and the smoothness to his game. He's got a nose for the ball, isn't afraid to take the big shot, and has a well developed mid-range game. Trust the staff on this one.

If we are looking to clone a bunch Robert Churchwells, we are not shooting to be a Top 20 ish, nationally relevant team. Nobody called for a bunch of Robert Churchwells; we only need one. I would've taken him over any of the '13-'14 players not named Starks or DSR (excluding Smith). We wouldn't have played 2-vs-5 in offense.

I agree with Ranch. If the guy is a Churchwell-like player then I would pass. Churchwell was on some of the very first GU teams I followed and I had hopes for him, but he never truly developed. Great athlete (was a highly regarded track star in high school) who had a nice ten foot jumper, but his game never really developed and he and his fellow teammates couldn't score even when defenses packed in on Mourning and Mutombo (and later Othella). Plus, though it wasn't his fault, Churchwell's presence on the team in the end ultimately reminded me that Grant Hill should have been starting in his place over the course of those same four seasons. I realize Churchwell had a cup of coffee in the NBA and all but still....

Just because players are similar to each other doesn't tie them to each other's destiny.

Similar game/style doesn't naturally equate to similar career path imo.. PrHoya put it in nice terms twice in this thread but I'll be more blunt, Churchwell was a better player than Jabril.. I'll also say this if a poster thinks a future recruit reminds them of Jabril, I'd say go get him.. How folks can say pass on a 6-7 kid with a 7-3 wingspan and a developing game because posters think he's similar to a past player is beyond me..

He reminds me of Stacey Augmon I actually played against Stacey Augmon in high school. He was explosive and was an athletic freak....had 5 or 6 dunks against us. (by the time I got in the game, he was done for the day).
