I'd make a quip about the torque on his cervical spine, but having had a herniated disc several years ago, and back problems intermittently earlier in life, I just wince when I read "limited by some back issues."

Hope he gets lots of Fletch time to make that back strong, and that he's free of pain soon.
Same here, and am currently dealing with one between C6/C7. Did you have it surgically repaired or healed on its own if I may ask?

Don't sweat it. You've been in a rough time of life. Having been there a while ago, it's cause-and-effect from that baby haze. If you're not sleeping and eating regularly, you can't train. It doesn't work. The good news is that you're fairly well out of the physically-brutal stage of child-rearing, and you've got a few years before entering the three-dimensional chess / UFC stage. Use that time well, my friend! ;):ROFLMAO:
Lol, is that why they call this the golden age of parenting ?

On that note, she's in bed now so I'm going to take this opportunity to....get some sleep myself

Just videos but Sky dribbles the ball low, close to his body and extremely hard, which lends itself to great control. He also seems to move hard with the ball. Love it. Let's go!

That's what stood out to me. Outstanding ball control and still relaxed. Looks like a shooter too. Not sure he can create his own shot (yet), but he looks like he has the tools. Anyone familiar with his style of play? Any comps?

I hope this already announced NBA guard gets off the ground on his jumpers more than 10 inches. If not, oh well. I'll take 10pts, 10 asst, and 3 steals per game. 🙏 up to the Skyy!
Only three freshmen have ever led the NCAA in assists: TJ Ford, Lonzo Ball and Trae Young. Young is the all time best at 8.7 assists per game.

Hope you’re not disappointed when Clark doesn’t average 10 a game.

I see ugottabjoshinme posted right before me. Grant it practice video but a lot of string music and oh it sounds so good!

I said this back before he committed, and my opinion gets stronger every time a new video comes out. He really reminds me of Trey Burke. Very smooth, looks exciting in the open court, but has control in the half court, not insanely athletic, but enough to finish around the rim.

Trey Burke was ranked a lot lower out of high school. I think Skyy's body is more developed at this point. Trey was pretty skinny coming in to Michigan.
