I know we're all super hyped for Duvall, but this kid right here has me stoked! "A walking bucket". I watched one of his highlight reels a while ago, but found this gem. Unreal how well he can shoot.



Nice. I hope he makes it look that easy next season. :) OFC

He's going to be legit because his body is so developed already

Bingo. He has elite strength for college, not just high school. If he can maintain his shot beyond strength and conditioning, which some guys don't adjust well with, he's going to be really good in a hurry.

It was his shooting that first made evaluators take notice.

Oh yeah, Trent is a grown man.

Trent apparently became an after thought to many on this board (I even saw some think he'd be on the bench if Jackson stayed).

But, he's arguably the most developed and advanced recruit for this year - even if perhaps not the most talented. He'll be a very solid player, imo.

Someone said Tucker reminded them of Alan Houston, a Knick player from the 90's. I can totally see that. And I think Delaurier will step up and I'm a big fan of Vrank. Bolden will explode.
I agree bolden should flourish...not talking crazy number like 10 10 ..

Bolden really showed flashes of a potent offensive rebounder ..also yea Duval should give him a lot of easy looks to boost his confidence..but that's obvious

My only worry is if bolden can run the floor ! Duval likes to run ..I think we could be really good half court but at the same time last year was nonexistent running so it will be nice to see it not sure how we will play ..can't wait ..could end up going small more well not small. But no bolden lol get in shape big guy we need you

You are probably right but I am curious to see what Javin looks like at the three
Topps I think we're all curious and probably excited to see how much Javin has improved as well. Hope he is a pleasant surprise and a handful for our opponents

I just hope these guys can stop layups and put back slam dunks and especially against unc get back on defense after making a a basket. That's been a problem the last couple of years. OFC

Some of his moves in that video made me laugh with delight. I've never seen some of those moves. So excited. And those passes! Bigs better get ready to catch some passes under the basket. :)

Gary Trent reminds me of a Bonzi Wells or Cedric Ceballos. Maybe not as a shooter, because he seems to have a better jumper than those two. But similarly to them, he doesn't seem that he needs plays ran for him to score.
I think Javin has a chance to be the ultimate glue guy for this team. Reminds me of Shane Battier in his early years at Duke. He'll be able to guard 4 positions due to his length, quickness, and overall athleticism. If Bolden isn't on his "P's n Q's"; he will not be in that starting five.

Yeah I like our chances. Whenever K has a good backcourt, things happen. His strength has always been guard play, and our guards this season are going to be pretty amazing. If we can get Bolden and Delaurier to play, we're gonna be gooooood.
