I have seen these kid play several times. He can play 2G or forward. He can shoot the three and can score by backing down guards or forwards. He is a bull on the boards and plays so hard. He is as strong as any high school guard I have seen. He is about 6'4"-6'5" and can really rebound too. Personally I firmly believe this guy could play power forward the same as Phil sellers did. He doesn't back down from anyone. I see that Eddie offered him way back in April of 2015. I don't think he has committed to any school yet but I could be wrong. I think he would be a great pickup who would add a lot of toughness to RU.

Listed as a 2 star still. Monmouth may be his landing place. I've never scene him play but if he is as tough as you say, we could use that for sure.
I have seen him play one time and he is a very good player .His problem is size for college ,ie, too slow for two guard and too small for small forward in the B1G.Rutgers needs a player at least 6' 8'' that can rebound, defend and score in double digits, ie, Keith Hughes type player.Other B1G teams have that type player but not Rutgers which is a telling reason why they can't win league games.
Last night Roselle Catholic only lost to Monteverde Academy 59-55. Bullock led RC in scoring with 16 points. If he can do that well against the #2 team in the country that has won 3 national high school championships than he can certainly play on my team. I don't care that he is not 6'8". People said that about Phil Sellers too and he grabbed double digits in rebounds and over 20 points per game and was first team AP All American. Rodriguez of Seton Hall played power forward last year for SHU at 6'4" and grabbed a lot of rebounds. Some kids just have all heart and toughness. Rashod Kent was another one. He was only I think 6 feet 4 and a half inches and played like he was 6'10".
Didn't we go through this same argument with Otis Livingston last year? Could someone provide an update on Livingston? Could he compete in the Big Ten?
So he's a tweener who'll get torched by more athletic guards and bullied by bigger forwards. Just the player Eddie needs.
Recruiting isn't a exact science except for the elite recruits who show little interest in playing for Rutgers.What Rutgers attract is a squad full of complementary type players who contribute sometimes and others are at best practice players.
If he can actually shoot, is rugged, and has a high basketball IQ he can help the program.
