The video posted states that it is three years old. The kid was 15 or 16 in that video. Not bad for a kid playing with older players from the looks of it. Like all freshmen, we will have to see. McCollum panned out so maybe Carm is a good judge of talent. Tertsea aside. He has brought in plenty of good talent so far. Still two more to go and we all know what is needed. Let's see how that plays out. Lmao you’re looking at the Darwiche video I posted (indicates 3 yrs ago) as a comparison. We already know how that movie ended. Think you made my point 😉

Again, the Turkish kid may pan out and may not, but I would suggest that Carm is a better judge of talent than armchair "coach" and as of now I'll go with Carm. We will see.

Funny, not sure a recruit who didn’t pan out from one European country means all recruits from all foreign countries are bad. Just my 2 cents. Of course not, but let’s just see how this goes😉 Funny! How many successful NCAA D1 players from Turkey out of nearly 4500 players? Again not hard to fathom better options were available in the portal HS & prep! Three hundred and fifty coaches utilize the portal but in ‘22 Carm thinks portal kids are high maintenance! SMH! Hmmm, would think that an awful lot of the best players oversees don’t want to travel to the US to play, rather just go pro. Does not mean Turkish players aren’t good. He was good enough to be on a national team. Looks like there were 10 D1 players from Turkey last year, for what it’s worth. Again, I was not touting him… but willing to wait and see. (Without all the hand wringing)

Aidan Carpenter stunk. Therefore, I think we should stop recruiting athletic 6-5 kids from Connecticut. 😉

Lmfao you watched the Darwiche video and thought you were watching Tekin. Quit while you’re ahead.

I agree with a lot of your comments and opinions, but you've got to be joking with that last comment.

He didn’t get better in 2.5 years on campus. I defended him as long as I could… he’s a bad player. You can’t win anything with him playing real minutes.

He struggled last year no doubt, he was injured most of the season. I wasn’t happy about his walk off but if you’re betting on Tekin’ because he’s Carm’s boy….

They connected the dots to this kid. Again… we’ll see if it works out or not. Europe is recruited unevenly and that’s exacerbated by COVID limiting access. Of course it’s not a guarantee it will work… but acting as though it’s a guarantee it will fail is just as absurd. I’m old enough to remember when Bobby C told Carm to take Jackson Stormo, who couldn’t get off the bench at Pepperdine and looked like a chubby white big kid we didn’t need. That worked out pretty well. Let’s see if this does too.
