Adding a thread on him since he just received an offer from Bama. He was leaning to Buffalo

Defense can be taught moreso than offense. I doubt that many high schools are going to be good defensive players right off the bat especially if they played a lot of AAU ball.True ... my only concern is not seeing any defensive plays on his highlights but he has a lot of upside that could make him a talented player. Hoping he signs with the good guys.
True ... he seems to fit CNOs style of play very well. Here's hoping he rolls with the Tide.Defense can be taught moreso than offense. I doubt that many high schools are going to be good defensive players right off the bat especially if they played a lot of AAU ball.
We need another PG. If Kira transfer then we need 2 PG's.True ... he seems to fit CNOs style of play very well. Here's hoping he rolls with the Tide.
While CNO is at it, I hope he reaches out to this young man as well: https://247sports.com/Player/Precious-Achiuwa-86978/
If we can land, Watford, Hawkins and pull in one more top recruit ... this can possibly end up a top-10 recruiting class. That would be a heck of a turnaround from where we were trending.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>That’s a really good comparison. I’m disappointed in myself for not thinking of that comparison.He looks a lot like JaMychal Green. Now, if he can play like him...
I have a hunch he will commit to us.do we expect a commitment from him tomorrow
Correct, he is announcing today at 8pm central time. His twitter page has his top 5 as Arkansas, Arizona State, Buffalo, Depaul, and Mississippi State but the date on it is February 18. I know we only offered him this week so hopefully we have replaced Buffalo and he really wants to play for Coach Oats. Obviously CNO thinks highly of him and apparently that was his first offer as an Alabama coach. His last several tweets are retweets all related to Alabama which may or may not mean anything. No other school that I saw although I did not spend too much on his twitter feed.What time is his announcement is 8 pm central?
Kid in the first vid, # 4, is a player too. That one pass to Hawkins reminded me of a player that we had for a year. If he can shoot, get them both.he is MAD underrated in my opinion. He would fit in nicely with CNOs offensive system:
Here are a few videos of him in action:
<br>Shows his all around game ... reminds me of athletic KG was coming out of HS.
