Martin is a sharpshooter for sure, with length. He's got a soph teammate there who looks (and shoots) like Martin. I'd also have to wonder if BU would be interested in that bulldozer of a center NqV has.

"Brady Pettigrew, 6'4, PG/SG, RWE, 2028

As dynamic of a combo guard as you'll find in the class of 2028, Brady Pettigrew was the perfect fit for the open flowing setting that The Circuit of Champions offered. The combo guard was electric as a finisher in transition, showcased his elite end to end speed, and had no problem finishing through contact as a big guard. The top junior in the state of Illinois was MVP of the EYBL 16U division as its leading scorer and looked the part of a future McDonald's All-American."

All those top programs can drop a large bag. Seems like Illinois/BU have a good relationship. BU also sending guards to NBA also a big plus IMHO. But other schools have strong factors as well.

We are pretty damn close to not having to worry about bag conversations
To bag, or not to bag, that is the question:

Whether ‘tis nobler in the team to suffer

The ninth and tenth men of outrageous fortune,

Or to take shots against a sea of threes

And by opposing brick them. To lose—to turney-run

No more; and by a sleeper season to end

The heart-ache and the thousand cutting shocks

That Fletch is heir to: ‘tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish’d. To choke, to weep;

To weep, perchance to dream—ay, there’s the flub:

For in that sleep of slump from this mortal coil,

Must give us pause—there’s the respect

That makes losses of so long season.


(with apologies to the Bard)
