As I have stated for months ... Hansberry will be the first domino ...

Expect the staff to be very picky about what else they add HS-wise... They would take Dra Gibbs Lawhorn but that is totally dependent on our guard play this year because he isn't going to come to be the 3rd or 4th best guard on the team ... He's also going to have good options and may not be willing to wait as long as we need him to ...

They would like to add a wing as well ... Must be a good shooter ... Toohey is a name ... Brady Dunlap is another name ... I watched him during Peach Jam, and he really reminded me of watching Mayer when he was in HS and playing for Houston Hoops ... He's got some game but needs development ...

They are also keeping tabs on Moretti, as well as a couple of other international guys ...

Perrin is going to be flat out good! Can't wait to see this young man start suiting up this fall! He will contribute some this year but next year will be his year to shine. He has all the tools.

awesome eval by the staff, between AH and CW you have to be impressed by our ability to spot talent. would suspect that the mythical trend of our players dropping in rankings after committing has come to an end

Is he still considered an elite enough (on the court) player to be a G league prospect?

On the home screen here, I watched the video of Nojus. The video was cool in that it was set up where the first part was him driving, the second part was him passing, and the third was him shooting.

The part of him driving was intriguing to me. He reminding me of Curbelo the way that he probed toward the basket until he got there. Some guys make a planned moved to get there and either do or don't, but I feel like Belo kept moving until he got there, and Nojus seemed to have that same ability.

No, I am not saying that Nojus has a similar playing style to Curbelo.

Only watched his highlights, but he's got a pretty good overall skill set, and he's physically impressive --plays BIG. Sometimes you watch kids, and you see a guy who belongs at the next level, and he's one of them. Seemed to have above average athleticism for a high major guy too. Didn't see much outside shooting, but he had a few nice mid-range shots where he pulled back from a drive. Will be happy if/when he signs.

Is that because of headaches from his camp, because he has zero plans on going to college, or because he's just not perceived as that talented of a prospect anymore?
