Recruited him out of high school. Good shooter, athletic, good defensive player. Definitely worth pursuing. He is also former teammate of Ty Berry

No, he's terrible against top-100 competition and there's nothing to suggest that he's any better offensively or defensively than who we already have other than being a marginally useful 3-point shooter.

Gotta agree with Cappy.

I’d rather take an underrecruited guy at a smaller school who has figured it out versus an overrated former recruit at a big school who isn’t really that good.

See Michael Thompson from Duke.

When he gets on a roll from 3, he looks like he’ll never miss. But he just didn’t do it often enough. 1 good game followed by 3-4 bad ones tended to be his MO. He went on to a disappointing 0-13 in 2 NCAA games. His on ball d improved some this season.
