He seems to have been in the 2017 class, so I assume that he is a surprise 2016 entry. I like his skills. Reminiscent of Maravich. And yes, I am old enough to say that.

Tulane & FGCU offered this morning.

Iowa State offered.

Georgia Tech offers.

His latest interview on Scout didn’t list us. I think he has his eyes set to P5.

His high school coach told us to contact him. Lists price as his all time favorite player. Fwiw

the whole staff, plus white i believe, was there to watch him. gotta show this kid that we want him. hopefully it helps that price was his high school coaches’ favorite player growing up.

Official visit set with Louisville, August 1-2.

Committed to Duke today.
