I know the kid is one of the top rated 3 point shooter in the 09 class, but I had no idea he could get up like this............

I heard that when this kid comes out of the game the first thing he does is put on a UofL hat.  He is extremely excited about coming to the ville and will be one hell of a 4 year player if he shoots like they say he does.  He was 11-13 from 3 and had 38 points in a game agianst Ebanks this year.

Spot on He will be a 4 year player much like a JJ Redick.  I think he is very athletic but wont be quite the dunker in college but more of a jumpshot man.  I really see him being dynamite by his Junior year a reliable game on the line give him the shot player

This guy looks quite promising.  I f he can play super defense, we might have a keeper.

GREAT TIME IN THE VILLE!!!

I know this is politically incorrect, but the gut looks awesome for a white boy. Still, 10 second highlight clips don't tell you how he plays the whole game. So many guys in high school excel because they mature early, or they are taller than their competition. These guys flop when they hit major college ball. But if he is a real shooter(Josh Carrie was one and how much did he help UK?), he can come in and really give UL a lift for 10-15 minutes a game at some point. Or he could be Jeff Hall and play 30 minutes a game. You just can't tell until they get here. Some of  them can't deal with Pitino, like DC.  But I have to admit, the clips look promising and that was a great job assembling them i one place  where we could all see them. Nice post, DIEHARD.  GO CARDS!

Great post.  This guy looks agressive.

Louisville bball is looking great.  I die for football, but I'm ridiculously excited to see these Cards.

Very impressive, but can he D it up too?  Like Fansince66 said, he will give us 10-12 min. a game, or if he can play as good on defense the guy will be a star and get 30 min. a game. 

I am still totally psyched about the upcoming year.  As things settle down about who is leaving and who isn't, the Big East looks like a monster conference again next year...maybe one of the toughest conferences in history.

He will be a senior in high school this year and is commited for the 2009 class along with Rakeem Buckles  http://louisville.scout.com/a.z?s=17&p=8&c=1&nid=3392723.  Buckels, IMO, is going to be much better than his rating.  though he is a top 10 PF in the nation.

well in the case of rakeem, he needs imporvement in every thing that makes a PF

but he has another year and then a pre-season for pitino to work w. him

louisville basketball looks promising for the next 5 years

Most of those dunks were just breakaway dunks, with the exception of the inbounds dunk.  But that was just lousy D and he would get murdered trying that in D1.  Most of that is irrelevant to how he'll play in college.  Most 6-4 players should be able to dunk like that.  We recruited this guy as a shooter.  Whether or not he dunks on the breakaway or lays it in his irrelevant to the position he'll be playing.  But I do think his height is a huge advantage, as he'll be able to get his shot off easier and finish easier on the breakaway.  Sometimes Jerry Smith and Sosa look awfully short  out there.
