I see Denzel I get excited
Won’t hurt with Cole Kelly recruitment I’d imagine
Development guy or diamond in the rough?
If we’re gonna run this type of offense … We need some elite level snipers …
That’s what this kid can bring at minimum …
He reminds me of Tyler Herro.

Those mean nearly the same thing.
These kind of kids .. Anyone can handle the recruitment …
Haha I know and I am team 'trust this staff's talent eval'.
Your dislike of man tights will never not be funny though..

Hammer time.....
One of the best if not the best shooter in the state imo.
Keaton was a diamond in the rough but not a development guy.
Joel Goodson
- how was I to know, she was with the Russians too?
Martin can really stroke it, allegedly. Pretty darn good range too
I just call it like I see it …
He don’t need leggings on to coach the dang team …He also didn’t need to be coaching the defense … Brad heard me and others … Got that
fixed …Here's Martin crushing West Aurora with 11 threes and 41 overall points.
High release point, quick release. Needs to put on weight but he's obviously got time.
Only other offers were SLU and Holy Cross, but definitely seems like a diamond in the rough and a way to get inroads with Kelly.

Disagree. He was just a diamond. No rough.
He needed to add strength and weight to jis frame. He did need to develop that and he has and continues to. Hell, thats whats so intriguing is he is only 18 years old and still growing and developing physically.
Sorry but it was the complete opposite. Pre summer there was a common thought that one of Wagler or Lee would redshirt. With even weight.
Wagler was a development guy until he proved himself to be a lottery pick. Which is a wild !!! story held by very very few dudes.
so....complete opposite..you're saying he was a developmental guy?? not a diamond in the rough??
