What I was most impressed with was his always looking for the pass first when handling the ball. Good D and court awareness. I gather he will gain a few pounds by next year.

Looks great!
Looks like he will be able to contribute very early in his career.

His ball handling vision and passing jumped out at me. He can be a play maker not just a scorer. Not just a shooter. He is a complete offensive weapon
Love that release point. He is going to be a deadly scorer here.
The goggles are outstanding. I wonder if he can’t find contact lenses he likes since some lenses are uncomfortable and/or create glare.
I can see the goggles being a required item in the student section in the future.

The four-star wing was thrilled to be there. The feeling among Rutgers fans in attendance had to be mutual.

And yet he’s not worthy of that fifth star? Wow! Those five star kids must be sooooo much better!
Think I read his son played in the second game
Kiyan Anthony is a 6'3" guard that plays for Christ the King. He's class of 2025.
That second bucket he scores made my jaw drop. Has his defender basically posted up at the three point line, catches it, turns and drains a three right in the kid’s face.
and he's a 6'7" long-armed guard! plays like that on the perimeter and that post move where he drops it in for an and-one.
Agree, that’s Kevin Durant level stuff …
He's got all the moves. Looks like he had a 7ft wingspan. I'd be surprised if it is less than 6'10
Easy to understand now why people who have seen Gavin play recently have been saying that things like that they have a hard time believing there are 30 hs players better than this kid, that he’s a 5* all the way etc.
I just got goggles recently for hoops and trail running (still wear my contacts for ice-hockey although the goggles do fit under a cage). The visual clarity is really great with the goggles. I can see why he likes them.
The only question I have with GG would be his ball handling in traffic in the BIG against very quick players. Mulcahy plays with a nice “bend” and a strong bounce so despite his height he can operate in traffic.
His ball handling looks excellent and he gets very low with his dribble when making moves. He also showed slick passing in the lane. He's going to be much better than Paul at penetrating and scoring
1 thing I really like is the fact his team switches constantly on D and there is constant communication which bodes well for the defensive adjustment that will be required here.
I really really hope he sticks with the goggles in college. I feel like it adds to the allure.
33 points and how many bad shots or shots with 2-3 guys guarding him? Phenomenal decision-making for a HS player, especially a 6'7" guard.
So many highlight reels are full of bad shots against 2-3 guys.
He's going to adjust to the higher level mentally quicker than most guys (some never do) because he's already making the right plays. Many (most) top HS players are taking the shot or trying to dribble through guys.
Amazing that he rebounded and took off up the court with the ball so many times and never got back tapped and was going fast yet never seemed out of control.
Fun to watch.

Headband and goggle highlights next year!! Make it happen between PM & GG
I have f
I have faith that he’ll adjust and going against Mag in practice will help.
Dammit, I was just about to type this! The goggles and wigs!
I was at the game. Not sure how great the competition was but he was the real deal.
I wonder if Caleb has any interest in being a GA? Get his Masters and defend in practice. Would be a great development tool
Not sure how good the high school competition he plays against is but he played AAU ball for Expressions Elite which is part of the EYBL circuit, so he has seen plenty of good competition.
Wigs were already done when Salvi was here - now goggles would be new
OT but why googles for trail running?
Are you doing longer/multi day distances?
I've been fine with contacts but only maxed out at 33 miles so far. I have thought about how doing 50 mile or longer might require more eye maintenance. Never thought about googles actually.
Watch this interview. Gavin has a great head on his shoulders. Very humble and well spoken. He's a winner. Perfect for our program. Love it.
Nothing that long for me these days lol. I do a mix of sprint/jog/walk and usually am limited to an hour due to daylight constraints this time of year. I can only wear contact lenses for shorter stints due to dry eyes from aging (55 1/2 yrs old).
