I would have guessed just the opposite with the portal now so prominently in play. Was sorta hoping for a shot at Thornton and Gayle.

The last game where Amani played significant minutes is the first time I saw the potential for a breakout next year. He has a solid built, nice fundamentals, good mobility up and down the court, and can possibly shoot 3's. Pair this with Morez who seems to have a similiar skill set and you have an inside/outside interchangable game. I'm not sure what will happen to Dain next year, I hope he returns but I wouldn't blame him if he didn't considering his mintues.

Believe we need to solve a couple of issues next year, mainly 3pt shooting. Having Ty and Sincere on the court will not give you 3's unless there is a massive improvement. I can see trying to get another Domask type player and closest thing to a TSJ in the portal.

Have you seen him before games? He hardly ever misses and his shot looks very smooth. I think that he will definitely be a 3 pt. shooting threat, at least enough that teams will have to close out on him hard. I was very pleasantly surprised at his shooting from outside.

Out of Baltimore so this has to be a Chester recruit. I hadn't heard this name before. Is this a promising backup option, someone we are newly prioritizing, or other?

He was at one time committed to Providence but decommitted in like Sept or Oct.

We've got some interest ... Tough kid ... Word I got from my guys down at OTE was gritty ... Good shooter ... Willing defender ... Great court vision ... Leader ...

He's a take for me ...

Saw video of Thornton vs Richwoods. Summerville (Rutgers recruit) not close to Morez. He is also listed as 6’9” and Morez is definitely taller.

Odd timing for Daquan Davis de-commitment.

Bad: Why de-commit to see what else is out there? Also, he de-committed and only one program offered him since October.

Good: Has played really well in OTE the past week and a half. FSU bringing him in for an OV this weekend.

After doing some cursory research, like this kid, he seems like a baller. Really been tearing it up lately for OE. But, looking at our roster, he's probly a hedge on one of our frosh guards bolting (just to be clear, he's probly an upgrade over Nico (much better D))

BTW, his Xwitter page lists him as 6' 1".
