I know I know 2022, but the kid does have some sick moves for a 10 year old. And from the look of it will never set foot on Ohio campus. His dad played at Ohio from 2000-2002. Pretty cool seeing former Ohio players producing great prospects. Gary trent jr also.

got to see him play last year and he's very, very good but my understanding is that he's also a reclass. So he was playing against mostly younger kids. Which is a shame because from what I saw he would dominate against most 2021 kids as well.

Tears his ACL and then promptly commits to Penn State. Might be skeptical for no reason here, but my thought is this is a security move. He comes back better than ever, he finds a way out of his commitment.

On a related note, Sonny Johnson as a coach/promoter is a clown. Look up any video from his NEO camps to see a grown man act like a fool and encourage the worst type of basketball ever.

Funny you say that, never have been a monster fan of watching his teams either. Only thing he really is good at is rounding up talent to end up at Garfield Heights.....

But......Garfield Heights has been sooooooo successful with their solid fundamentals and situational awareness, not fair the state punishes them for kids wanting to be the best of the best and play in front of the biggest crowds.
