Adam Zagoria tweeted about 2 hours ago that he is hearing that Peak is playing well. Listed 5 others as well. Great to hear. By the way people on this board talk down about Peak I'm figuring 50% of the Hoya fans may be in disbelief about this report. Okay, maybe 75%. Who's down on Peak? I can only think of one poster (who wants to rebuild LJ's jumper).

You may not have been viewing many of the game threads during the season nor some of the immediate post season commentaries. Plenty of people had been dismissive of Peak in general.

LJ with the DSR turnaround at in the lane in the first vid (about 1:20) plus a nice transition dunk in the first few seconds.

Great job LJ. Keep up the work and it sounds like you may earn that USA jersey!

Digital photos are sometimes skewed, but to my eye Peak looked much leaner in that earlier picture. If nothing else, this is a great experience and tough competition for LJ. Nicely done, bro.

If there was any part of Peak's game I wanted him to improve was his ability to finish. I could care less about his jumper, his position, his handle, blah, blah - I can remember numerous point blank misses in the paint. He improves there, look out.

In my view he’s the number 1 prospect on the squad. Just my opinion I know the majority will say Ike

Another couple years honing his skills at Georgetown would certainly help though.

Another couple years honing his skills at Georgetown would certainly help though. Definitely, I'm speaking long term and it's by a slim margin. Mainly because I see more 2 way ability in him than anyone else. If he becomes a 35% 3 point shooter, all of those drives are going to start opening up for him and a guard with that size strength and athleticism is going to be hard to stop. He also started using more floaters and pull ups late in the season which shows his IQ and maturity. Results were mixed but the were the right plays. That really can't be stressed enough, because once he starts getting confidence in his shot those are points. Scouts already recognize his defensive ability.

Man, if IC makes a reasonable leap, LJ keeps up this arc of improvement based on reports from the U-19, and DSR does DSR things, the Hoyas could be nasty this year. Gonna need Govan to grow up QUICK tho.

Maybe LJ can recruit Tatum, although he looks like a Dukie...
