Far too early to know...

I think VT got exactly what they wanted with their HS recruit in that he has measurables and skill that they wont need to teach If he picks up the team aspects of the game then he could be a tremendous steal. If he doesnt, then he is closer to Brett Freeman, in being someone who has measurables and skill but not quite the understanding needed to develop into getting playing time. Its tough, because if it were me, someone like Freeman and this kid should go elsewhere to play and refine their skills through experience. But obviously its better for VT if they sit and develop when its their time. I dont blame VT for taking a shot, certainly. I dont blame the kid for wanting to play at a HM. I hope he works out

Right. Look at Kevin Durant and Holgrum from The Thunder.

Would he be considered a 4 star?**
YBYSAIAHokie • 06/01/26 03:03 PM ET
I think some sites would have him as a 4 and others would have him as a 3.
SC_Hokie • 06/01/26 03:33 PM ET
I would say closer to 6'6 but definitely a wing

I was going to say it sounds like he could play the 1, 2 or 3.

Guess that’s why Neo never lived up to the hype. He could not defend….
