And Tobias Harris could be added to the Grunfeld and King list from New York.

This guy looks like a sleeper and a good addition to the 2019 class.

Yeah, though you really can't put Tobias into the same conversation with Bernard. As good as Tobias is, he isn't in the ball park with Bernard King. Not even the parking lot beside the ball park

Why not? In the context here they definitely belong in same conversation. They did both play here

Haha. Now we know what kind of woman Dallas likes. Dal's a chubby chaser. It's OK, Dal. I've done my share of big women, most of the time I was drunk,tho. But not every time. Fat girls are like mopeds, they are both fun to ride until your friends catch u on one.

U gotta have all kinds for the recruits these days bit none seem to compare to the plain vanilla BBW for staying power I hear.

I hope to see Jalen Johnson with a big role the next few seasons and then see Gaines move into that spot in a couple of years.

I'm just not sold on Gaines for whatever reason. Am I crazy for that? What do you guys see in him that I'm not seeing?

I think it’s fair to question, he hasn’t caught attention on a national scale and hasn’t done a whole lot to make people excited. This year at Hargrave should provide a lot of answers, the competition and exposure will both be increased for him.

If you’re looking for optimism it’s that he seems to have some tools, he’s consistently averaged a near quadruple double which isn’t easy to do at the high school level regardless of competition. A couple of national guys when seen have said he’s got some potential so I think at worst you look at him as a project type. He’s taking a prep year, say he redshirts his first year here and now you’ve got a 20 year old freshman...he’s gonna be mature and have been playing ball for awhile, maybe that amounts to something and maybe it doesn’t, but he’s not a bad guy to be your 12th/13th man and a “project”.

His last video showed more pg/ball handling so here’s hoping he’s a JRich type that’s skills improve with improved ball handling and decision making.

Thanks folks. I saw who Vandy got a commit from and then wandered in here to see who we've got. Hopefully this cat is flying way under everyone else's radar.

I greatly appreciate that breakdown, BTO. That's exactly what I was looking for. I think seeing him at Hargrave will determine what I think about him, but the info about him taking a prep year is really good too.
