In response to nychoops
Definitely a big kid, who seems to have athletic ability a step above, but looks and sounds very raw. Happy to have him at Penn though with that length and hops and hope he develops.
While they aren't very good at closing known talent, the staff usually is very good at diamond in the rough assessment. Let's hope that is what is going on here, and I'm glad they are taking a shot with him.
That said, we should also be realistic that a 65th ranking in NERR is a red flag. Only Cornell has a commit lower than that. For comparisons, Danny Wolf who we were after was 10th and the two kids Columbia landed are 13th and 15th.
Hopefully these rankings are old and from before the season. Anyone find any stats from the season?
