You know sometimes I wish Twitter never existed. This interaction between potential recruits is a tease. And will end up being a yet another annoying disappointment if it doesn't come to fruition.

yeah, LN and CC are getting even my hopes up. Add Ayo and THT and I would be one happy camper.

Illinois or Michigan, like our odds. We put in more face time, have greater need, and BU system fits him very well.

He is very very coordinated for a person his size. He runs the court really well. He has fantastic instincts on the boards. He is incredibly skinny but looks to have a frame that can put on a little bulk to fill out. And yes, as a shooter, he has great form on his jump shot. See for yourself:

edit: forgot to mention that he is a surprisingly good ball handler

Never really put it together but everything about him reminds of a slightly smaller, not quite as athletic version of Meyers Leonard. The way he plays, the way he moves and hold himself, his attitude, just seems so similar.

Good news on the Nolley front...

Need a commitment video👀👀

Seeing as how he wants a vid made before he even takes the VT visit, have to think it's us.

:thumb: This. He is Leonard 2.0. He has those same broad shoulders and "confident coordination", especially defensively. Looks to be a better shooter than ML was too, which isn't saying much. He can light it up today though.

You have to like all the chatter between Nolley, Castleton, and Conditt. It may mean nothing in the end, but it certainly isn't a bad thing.

I said something similar on a different forum. A lot of the same mannerisms and although not quite the freak athlete that Meyers was, he is still a really good athlete.

Much more polished offensively and defensively at the same stage as Meyers too.

He is not Leonard 2.0. Lol.

Meyers Leonard's shoulders were about 2 inches wider at the same age and you could tell with his muscle tone he was going to be the kind of kid that could add mass easily. That is a terrible terrible terrible comparison.

I like this kid a lot but he's closer to Mike Tisdale than he is Meyers Leonard.

Noo.. Nolley/Castleton are tweeting back and forth a lot right now talking about "knowing where you're going" and saying "family" and then Nolley says he needs the recruitment video.

If you're on twitter it's fairly blatant they're talking about playing basketball together.

Tisdale is a much better comparison and let's hope he comes and ends up more like Mike Kaminsky.
