I always use that site to see who the staff is targeting.

Yesterday I looked at Anthony Nelson and Shandon Brown.

2018 Anthony Nelson is a player from South Kent, NE, who is listed as a PG but I am unsure if I saw one pass out of him in his whole video. He is a player,though. Just not sure if he is a pg that most teams need. A great SG, perhaps.

Shandon Brown- 2018- Not exactly the size most fans want at 5 9, but he is fit, and ready to take a bump. He also passes exclusively. At the moment, there is not a huge amount of competition for him. I think he is a choice 1b, but I did like some of what I saw. Competitor, decent outside shot(low release though at times), takes a bump, plays good defense.He scraps, but I am not sure if he is the next level kid we need. It hurts to say that, as I do like his game,he does compete, and is a pretty decent point guard.

Cotton- I think he is a next level player for us. I like his wingspan, smooth shot. Again, the player we need.

Montez Mathis- Next level player. I like his wingspan, character. His recruiting was seen to be tipped our way at one point, but now it seems to have evened out.

Tough to get a true feel for these players with the media presented. A true pg is hard to find these days. When the players start scoring, they can't go back to being a selfless player. Lots of the hightlights are aau and that makes it tough.

Nonetheless, just looked at a couple of 2018 kids.
 
Would like Mathis a lot.[/QUOT

Me as well.

The good part is that the staff is seemingly fishing in the right pond now, and going after game changing kids.

That wasn't always the case in the previous era.
