Oh my Gosh. I forgot Perrin. Double wow!Don't sleep on Perrin. But, hell yeah.

looks pretty darn comfortable with the ball. not simply an off guard. foot on the gas time?
My reaction as well --that's a combo? Can't recall the last time I saw a highlight of someone labeled a combo that could show off handles like that.
Patrick School, yep he's a great fit.
Instead of 5 out, we will be running "4 in," can you imagine the mismatches that will cause! The one guard on the floor better have good escapabilityAmani Hansberry, Morez Johnson, Perrin, and senior Dain is going to be a crazy good front court
Imagine the amount of threes the other team would shoot...Instead of 5 out, we will be running "4 in," can you imagine the mismatches that will cause! The one guard on the floor better have good escapability
Perrin, hansberry, and MJ have some athleticism. They can guard the perimeter and change many a shotImagine the amount of threes the other team would shoot...
I love seeing athleticism. But, I prefer players with "game" (I think thats the phrase). Players that see and play the game of BB. Players with BB skills. Having both is the best. There is no good reason for me to post this, and I hope it doesn't offend anbody, but IMHO I always think of Myers Leonard.

...suspiciously low release point on that jump shot.
I think a good word is "moxie." Epps certainly has it. Not a run-jump athletic marvel, but just finds a way to get it done. In the videos I've seen of Hansberry, he also seems to fit that profile. Doesn't jump out of the gym, but is very skilled.I love seeing athleticism. But, I prefer players with "game" (I think thats the phrase). Players that see and play the game of BB.

#3 has an interesting name…
Middle name has to be just an "A."#3 has an interesting name…
I’d like to ‘meet’ him!
Imagine thinking JB is the best prospect on that teamThis kid is a double double machine,he might be in contention to be selected as a burger boy next year.
Epps has that intangible "it factor". I've been thinking that Andre Feliz is a good comparable for him. He's a better 3-point shooter, but Feliz was a wizard getting to the rim for the and-1. With luck we can watch Epps and Harris develop over the next few years into a great tandem.I think a good word is "moxie." Epps certainly has it.

Morez Johnson might have both high-level athleticism and BB skills.
Felix knew how to go up into the body of a bigger defender and bounce off to get space for his shot, and often and and-1 call.. He was an artist.Epps has that intangible "it factor".

There is a sense among college coaches and athletes that the game needs to be played fast and furious. But few, if any, are able to play without myriad blunders at frenetic pace. As a grade school kid, I use to watch games snowy broadcasts from Indianapolis that covered Crispus Attucks High School and their boy wonder....Oscar ( if you need a last name, you truly are not a basketball fan). Then when he got to Cincinnati, I was able to see him in action occasionally on national TV. Subsequently, I marveled as he matured as a pro for the Royals. Oscar never played at a frenetic pace....but he ALWAYS played under control and knew what to do and executed in EVERY situation. Though he did not move like a hunted rabbit as many of today's players remind me, he could blow past just about anyone when he needed to do so, seldom took a shot that was not on balance and did not hit mostly inside the cylinder, and was never defended by a player who knew if he was going to shoot, drive, or pass.I love seeing athleticism.

His athleticism is readily apparent and it's awesome to see. The one thing I worry about in seeing his recent highlights is that if you replaced the kids with traffic cones in most of the clips you'd see about the same level of defense. Glad to see him finish through contact in the second half of those highlights, but I do have to wonder if there's any concern from Brad's team that the quality level of the defense he's facing isn't going to remotely prepare him for ball at the college level. Generally freshman have a tough time adapting as it is to college defense and offense, but this seems like a much larger gap than what I've seen from our other recruits highlights.I like the chip, the edge & the joy and passion:
Dra and his camp know Underwood isn't gonna brook BS. I legit think he's gonna compete his rear off and not be a problem. The Nico - Dra battle will be interesting.
