This is the type of prospect I’d like to see us going after. A 7 footer in the 2025 class with athleticism and skill. Currently holds 0 offers. Playing at the same HS that AJ Stanton and Djobet played at in Orlando.

He's niftier than Reggie was and apparently has a little 3pt game he's working on. I can see him taking a rs year when he arrives, getting into better shape and contributing the following season.
