... And a future Grant to Cliff

Watching Cliff put Zach Edey on his butt is priceless

Worth watching again and again ...

Thank you @BAMAVILLE

Great thread. Reid reminds me a little of little Mo. Think they are about the same size/build, but he's very agile getting to the basket.

Sherrel is going to be a matchup nightmare for bigs. His 3 point shot is a real threat and he's got the agility to put it on the floor.

Nass Cunningham may be my favorite player in this class. He reminds me a lot of Brandon Miller's style of play. His 3 point range is deadly but he can put in on the floor and score from the midrange if needed (I know it's not usually needed except in rare iso packages and that's one way we used BM a couple of years ago). But when NC goes to the rim he's a high flyer like BM too. He's going to bring down the house at Coleman when he gets out on some fast breaks with his high flying, dunking ability!

Plan to watch more of the vids - thanks for posting!

Thanks for posting these videos! The freshman all look incredible and I'm not sure Cunningham is not the best of the lot. Transfers are incredible. Minutes will be tough so whoever plays D is going to get the most per CNO.

Some games a kid will get 20 minutes. Next game 3. Going to be able to adjust the lineup to the team we play. Plus injury depth. Wild roster. Hopeful the chemistry is there. Otherwise it will be a let down.

Goodness just watched Reid's and Youngblood's highlights and Mallette's again.

Reid at 6'7" and Youngblood and Mallette at 6'4" bring a lot of length at the 2 and 3 position. Reid could play 4 easily with his strength/bulk too!

Reid already looks like a college Jr. or Sr. Already has bulk but he's so athletic. Great stroke from 3 and can go to the rim hard!

Same for Youngblood. Strong to the rim and good shooter from 3.

I think Mallette will be more of a 3 point shooter although his tape shows he's got a great midrange game. He's got a killer 15 foot turnaround shot.

So excited to see these guys in Crimson!!!
