Very tall for a small forward, but this is exciting. Welcome Mr. Enaruna.

Dood needs to eat a sammich.

And lift some heavy stuff.

Meh. Overrated. AD, KD, Giannis, Ingram, all rail thin til their mid 20s. Similar builds/heights. I'm not comparing them in basketball ability - I just think we over-emphasize lifting and muscle.

Bragg gained all that muscle, Mitch gained all that muscle - their basketball didn't get any better.

I think he could at least use some conditioning, even if he doesn't get swole.

but either way, I'm more curious to see what his jumper is like, and how it'll develop.

So, he must be like a C- athlete, right? Not saying it can’t work, but with that size and that skill set, you’d expect a higher ranking.

Doesn't need to add weight per se, but does need to add strength. Those other guys are also above-average to insane athletically.

In the short term, this guy isn't more impactful of a recruit than our other two for 2019. But, his ceiling is higher and he could be a prototype for a modern 4-man in the college game. This is a guy that you want playing the 4 in a 4-out system. 3-4 year player, all-league potential on the backend.

Only being in the US for a couple of months could have something to do with the lower ranking. My understanding is that he's made quite a climb in the rankings as they've been adjusted. Who knows where he would have ended up by next year if he didn't reclassify.

Don't get me wrong - I'm very happy about it, and it seems like a tool kit we really haven't had here.

I'm also wrong about the reclassify part. Juzang was the wing who reclassified that got some buzz late.

I guess, tools-wise, he might be a better Galindo. That's not nothing.
