The kid seems to be a little full of himself. He claims here that he will be the starting 2 guard as a freshman and sophmore then transition to the 1 as a Junior and Senior. I wonder if Frank Bartley and Marcus Stroman have been informed that one of them will be watching him play from the bench next year?

Everyone out of high school thinks they can be a starter day one .. If he can more power to us

What I heard him say is that the coaches told him they thought he could be a starting 2 for 2 years then transition to the 1 guard spot.

Confidence can be a good thing. However, many kids in HS presume they will be able to continue to dominate at the next level. They receive a rude awakening once they arrive. I won't turn his signature down at this stage due to what may be a little over-confidence.

I believe LSU had him committed at one time. David Patrick was recruiting him. Patrick is no longer on the Tiger staff so that is probably why they fell off his list.

Do you know where Patrick went Mike? He also recruited their big guy, one and done with the 6'ers; could be a short leash on lsu coach now without that level of talent coming in.

I agree. I was just saying that his words seem to have been prompted by what he says the coaches told him.

I believe David Patrick is at TCU but am not certain of that.

Haven't seen much of it at all really. Even when Elfrid went pro or Shawn

For once in a long time, I'd like to see this program exceed expectations rather than fall short of them. I'd also welcome a league title which is a very strong sign of consistency which we haven't had either. Its not that people are as negative of the program as they are tired of being fed a nugget of goodness to then be fed a diet of crap.

On the signing, it is a great get for this program but we still have to sign him. Lets get it done.

Well, we know that Marlin would never promise anybody anything without them having to earn it on the court so I'm sure that this has been relayed to him quite clearly. However, if he's that good and can outplay some of the other guards we have, so be it.
