Love this! So excited to see this kid play. Especially love what he says about Coach's honesty in the recruiting process.

I like that he reminds him of Yeboah. Every team can use a Yeboah.

Yes! and he's listed at 6'9" (Yeboa was listed at 6'6")

6'9, athletic, 7'2 wingspan, 3 point sniper, offensive weapon who can score off the dribble... this is something we haven't had and it's very exciting

Paul, Cam, Chol, Dean, Cliff lineup would be a very very good offensive lineup for floor spacing

Next year could see Cam Griffiths and Chol on the court at the same time. In theory, we are on a path to becoming a much stronger 3 point shooting team

Antonio Chol reminds me of an under recruited, modern day Herve Lamizana out of St. Patrick's more than anyone. Herve was around 6'9 205 he coming out of high school with a that kind of outside shooting and game.

I think my head just popped off my body and exploded after reading all the references to good shooting in this story. So, I won’t be able to view the games now. Anyone want my tickets?

Photoshop some Fran McCaffery hair on a pic of Pikiell?

Sadly, people say I resemble Fran McCaffrey. I hope it’s not because I complain too much.

That may be the case

I'm scratching my head over this one. Seems like this guy came out of nowhere in April and now he is getting compared to Yeboah. Hope the hype is real.

 

[RUPete]

That may be the case

Rich the dentist dragging me on social?! Okay, I’ll remember that. Like Coach Saleh I’m keeping receipts and I know where you practice…just sayin’…😂🦷

And plus 3”. A 6’9” Yeboah !!!

Does Yeboah have a younger sibling who plays?

Really miss yelling YEEEAAAABOIIAA after those 3s

 

[Plum Street]

Yes! and he's listed at 6'9" (Yeboa was listed at 6'6")

One of the more underrated players here at rutgers . Save for that Penn state shot . Solid player

And he's shooting 57% from deep in game situations in practice so far - with his wingspan, not many will challenge his deep shots. His videos are eye-popping. He could be one of the best diamonds in the rough Pike has found (and he's found a few, starting with Geo). While he needs to learn how to play high level defense, which may limit his minutes this season, he has a pretty high ceiling, IMO.

has a really nice stroke, shoots in rhythm and is fundamentally sound and is able to get his own shot. First couple of tapes I saw I wondered why a 6’9” kid who had good court awareness and a nice stroke and ran the floor well wasn’t more highly recruited
