Morez was top 35 from the moment the rankings came out.
He was composite low 50s and rated 61st at one point his Jr year.

Kitt isn't a great comparison but Morez wasn't 35ish start to finish.

Kitt has a lot of similarities to Morez when he committed to us. Not super highly ranked but will be a late riser. Plays with other guys who are ranked high and still shining. Built like a unit and already has a BIG body with a year to play.
From the videos I've seen, he doesn't look to be close to the run/jump athlete that Morez was. But I hope I'm wrong and I've just missed the videos showing him jumping out of the gym.

Stasys offer: love it. no idea if he's coming, but he has some nice attributes

I love our thrust (phrasing police!) as a development program. with a roster limit of 15, load up the back end with lotto tickets. as Gump said, you never know what your gonna get.

that stat, in a vacuum, is pretty flippin' good. but that Kitt is the leading scorer on a team with Thompson and Davis may very well eclipse the aforementioned stat. and his scoring comes with good efficiency (not a chucker). loving his trajectory and all that he brings to the table. the antithesis of a one trick pony

transferring out to a top prep school should be great for his game

Is it really playing up when a player has been on varsity for 2 years already? Obviously it technically is age wise but ability wise it is appropriate
It is grade wise but I guess it depends on his age which I never know really with preps.

For example, last year Brayden Burries was a freshman and is only 5 months younger than Kylan Boswell as a 4th year senior(yes he reclassed but still would have been a junior age wise).
