That article is a year old and I just don't see kids who start on a top 25 ranked national team being under the radar. Agree with Tony that more often than not you are close to your rank and who is offering you. I guess this name caught everybody off guard, but obviously with only 1 or 2 ships to play with Patsos must see something he likes.

Give the kid the benefit of the doubt I think Jimmy Paige will play that tune at Siena-- I think its a good signing- kid has a big upside

I'll reserve judgement until we see the whole class. If the class is COle, Taplin, Paige and a decent 3/4 who can shot then it could be fine. Next year we will have Cole, White, Poole, and Hymes primarily at the 2/3 so we don't need the wing we sign to be an impact next year, but being athletic and able to play D look like a plus. Jimmy must see something and I trust him because he would be nuts to take a gamble on a kid he didn't think could help him.

Hope he can shoot it consistently He doesn't. But that's not why he was targeted.

We desperately need shooters we're over stocked at SG (all be it mediocre players w/ the exception of Maybe Cole and White) So if this kid can't shoot and he's similar in size to Cole what's up with that... W/ limited ships I wouldn't be rolling the dice! I was hoping we would up our recruiting level, unless this guy is way way under the radar I don't get it.....

Tough nosed athletic kid- with Poole- Cole- White and Hymes at 2 and 3 next year we wont need a lot from Jimmy. I think its a great singing-- stay tuned this by no means the end of recruiting

Welcome aboard to Jimmy Paige!
A little surprised (since we haven't heard anything on this recruit) but I will give Patsos the benefit of the doubt as we know he has a solid reputation as a recruiter.
We still need another guard to back up Marquis at the point.

I'm underwhelmed but I guess we have to give him the benefit of the doubt. So does this mean we can't get another commitment until after the season?

This kid maybe good but is he filling an immediate need? Unless Audu is out I dont quite get it.....

Big, strong guard. Looks to be athletic and he can dunk which is currently something we don't have!!!
Seriously, I trust Jimmy with recruiting.

I like the JYD type player. Could be just what the DR. ordered. That kinda came out of the blue. PPC where are you? Right here loving it..another big guard...not surprised at all..he has been on the list..Patsos does not care about offers..they watched the kid play

I guess we could use him along w/ Cole at the 3 spot. We're kind of thin there, that's the only thing that makes sense to me.... Is he quick? I'm not saying the kid is not a good get I'm looking at immediate need .... Like pg and shooters.
