Yep. There are pictures of him on Instagram.

Here he is in a video:
Immediate reactions: still can't shoot, Spencer is putting up some impressive numbers, and Kopp's a star. (At least today).
In other words, every scholarship player who is eligible except for Gaines (hurt) and Turner.
My hunch is Collins is using these playground games for the younger guys and letting Turner enjoy the trip. He has nothing to prove.
Kopp going 7/12 from 3 is nice.
I'm fine with Turner and Gaines not playing and giving the freshmen and sophomores all the run they can handle.

Shooting 41% on 3s is good (I assume they're using the new three-point distance in these games?). We shot 31% on 3s last year.
When take out Kopp's performance, the rest of the team shot 39 percent overall. Not good enough.
NU shot .40 from the field last year...and .31 from three
Opponents shot .42 and .29
Mid 40's overall would be acceptable, .44 would be an additional 70 makes. .35 from distance, also acceptable, would be 27 of those additional makes.
Sounds like Greer has made a bit of a jump. No idea how Spencer will be with the ball, but the assist numbers are nice to see (looks to be a complete gamer, level still tbd). And if Bouie can help the PG situation has improved over last year. Maybe AJ can be left to do his thing on the wing.

Careful about Spencer. If this is just playground run-and-gun ball (which I suspect it is) it plays to his athleticism. The question is his effectiveness in a real set offense. Won't know about that until November.
right, so "looks to be a complete gamer, level tbd" could mean that he's rec league all star
though, Collins effusive comments after a couple games indicate that he'll get time and contribute
I am optimistic that all three...Greer, Spencer and Bouie....will get better and better with the ball as the weeks tick by
No official word. He didn't appear in the Game 2 box score, I haven't seen a Game 1 box.
Or they know what they have with Turner and need to give Spencer more playing time to get into the thick of things
That really doesn't make sense to me. All these guys need reps playing together - especially the guys we'll be counting on to play a lot this year. Plus, what kid would want to go on this trip and then volunteer to not play so his teammates can play more. I could see sitting out one game, perhaps, but not all of them.
Me. I hated the place. Though, admittedly I had no travel companion and didn’t get much sight seeing in.
