Sounds like Lathan came up big at the end to seal the win
Wow, seeing someone with his size that can handle the rock like that is sweet!
Lathan also really seems to bring a ton of competitive fire. Need players like that
One of my favorite things about him. He always looks fired up.
With the way they are calling techs lately that might need to be reeled in but ill take a player who is too fired up over a player who looks semi engaged 10 times out of 10
Good chance he is the heart and soul of this team for the next 3 years post freshman season
A center/power forward that can dribble the ball up court and score from different areas is a player that Rutgers has lacked for decades.Lamizana might have been the last.
Yup ... he's got a soft touch when he shoots and he is super smooth handling and passing the ball.
He's gonna be a problem for the B1G ... especially if the opposition has to focus on Ace and Harper mostly.
One of my favorite players but HL didn’t have center talent. 3/4. Not 4/5.
You must have missed Cliff drive full court against MI on Thursday 😁
Well, yeah, he’s 6-9 or 6-10 and probably 250 pounds. In today’s game, that makes him a center. He wouldn’t have the foot speed or lateral quickness to guard today’s stretch 4s.
But the kid has guard skills. Apparently grew up playing guard but had a major growth spurt that turned him into a “big”. He’s going to be a matchup problem in college, as he has inside moves but can dribble and has a legit outside shot out to the three point line.
If Ace and Dylan are the sizzle to the 2024 class, Sommerville is the steak.
Hard to imagine with that point guard physique, right?
I think a lot of the complaints against Cliff are basically an outcome of someone who began playing hoops several years into their teens. In Lathan, we see a kid who was out in the playground every day since he could bounce a ball.

Same with Dylan and Ace. Beyond the elite talent, it seems like they’re relentlessly want to win.
In years past if we ever got a 4-star big man center with his skills, who can also shoot the three, we would have been ecstatic. The fact that we got him AND Dylan Harper AND Ace Bailey is mind-boggling.
terrible help defense and no box out from the few clips we see.
he will need to be rewired
he will need to be rewired
The clip in this thread showed only one play where you could tell anything wrt Lathan on defense. Are you basing the need to "rewire" him based on one total play with no other context?
Trevion was an excellent player…and he could get you a tough late-game basket if need be. But that still doesn’t preclude a buzzer-beater from the other team however.
:18 and :26
The good news looking at the last play his HS has him defending the high screen like us
Yes, and on that same play he crashes the boards and gets the rebound after closing out the ball handler at the foul line.
If Cliff grew up playing bball he would be unbelievable
That was my comp too
I absolutely knew Travion would score on Purdues last possession
We just could not stop him
If Latham is anything like that….
Trevion is now playing in the top tier league in Germany after a G-League stint. His lack of a trey probably hurts him a bit as he’s always been a good rebounder and finisher near the rim.
He’s in the top tier league actually on the defending champs…but I they think would be out of the playoffs right now as only 8 teams make the playoffs.
That UK team is the model to aspire for. Even though they got stunned in the elite 8 that team dominated all season long with incoming stud recruits. They don’t do what they did though without Patrick Patterson and a few other returning role players. Retaining J Williams and Cliff would be huge.
Having frosh stars far less of a question mark with them in my opinion.
