Looks like a solid player. If he could come ina and be a solid ball handler and shooter, he'd be a nice addition to the class.

We need him - he would see a lot of PT next year sharing time with Chorizo and Hester.

Love the dunking vids. I remember watching those on Chris Walker and thinking, "wow, this dude is going to dominant in the paint" Hmmm!

I was hoping to hear soon about a PG in this class. Hopefully he picks the good guys. We need a PG badly.

Yes if we had a very good point guard who could also shoot that would make this team more dangerous. Like say Scotty in his last year.

It's smart how he uses the backboard more than 60% of his shots. He has a good shooter's touch.
I wish we could get him.

I'm confused on how we get players who prefer to 'clang' the tongue of the rim rather than ever kiss
it off the backboard. No body-position awareness? I don't see how we only get big-guys who
"clumsy-shoot" more than not. That's frustrating and has to give our opponent laughing-confidence
right off the bat. ??

Not negatizing. I like our team. Just wish better.

Yep using the backboard is a bit of a lost art. I too like to see that.

Looks a little slow for a point guard but I'd still take him.

I was thinking last night that with Okauru on hand to watch the game that we've got a good chance to get his commitment. Glad to see he chose the good guys, solidifying this class with 4 solid players. Shame we lost Alexander who would have found himself on the court immediately, versus having to battle with KYs McDs AAs and getting splinters on the bench next season.

I like it. Pretty solid first class white put together.

I was hoping to get Yves Pron (I think that is correct spelling). He is a 6-6 SG from France. He was visiting this past weekend and it is down between Tenn and us.

I am happy we got a PG though.

We've got Hudson next year as a Junior and Ballard coming in as a Freshman, both similar size. We may have room for a 5th recruit depending on who goes pro, transfers, leaves, etc., so I'd be surprised if he chose us; but I'd take him if he wants to be a Gator.
I just tried to look him up, and only got Yves Porn, and I'm at work so I can click on that. :lol:
It's Yves Pons - they're calling him more of a small forward type, or can grow into one, so maybe we do have a spot for him.
