Both of those things are recruiting related.

Kevin Duckworth (yay! Eastern lol)
That dude had a lot of polished tools: a jumper with some range, a nice semi-hook, and a nice combination of power and finesse moves down low. I can see Kofi getting
there. I like that comparison.

Peak Duckworth was a force. But that lasted not all that long.
Really good body comp, but Kofi's game has a long way to go to get to peak Duckworth (offensively, anyway). Hopefully, he'll get there.
Don't ya think?

Coach Underwood & Coach Frazier were courtside:

Really like this kid's potential.

Jaden Schutt 2.0. I’d take Pence in a heartbeat
I hope you’re right.
over someone like Asa Thomas, who is also billed as a Jaden Schutt 2.0 and perhaps a better shooter?

This is a great problem to have.
I like Thomas a little better. But would be happy with either.
Maybe, I just think there is a lot of risk in a small school kid. Especially one that didn't play on a major AAU team.
I can't think of one that has succeeded at the highest level, at least not at Illinois in the past 30 years.
That young man is a baller who likes to play defense. Wow! Impressive, can't wait to see him light up Assembly Hall. Gonna be special!
I can't wait to see what this kid looks like in 2 years.That drive and dunk at 0:31one dribble from the 3 point line and almost hits his head on the rim. We've been missing that level of explosiveness for awhile now.
Yeah. Kids in St Joe wear Orange and Blue diapers. If the Illini offer, I can't imagine he'd say no.
Richard Keene. Brian Cardinal. Robbie Hummel. Meyers Leonard.

Keene was not a small school guy. Cardinal and Leonard certainly.
The AAU thing in this day is a bit odd. Does he really not play AAU? that really has been the big factor in evaluating recruits more accurately then we were able to do 30 or 40 years ago.
