Rarely has someone in my lifetime following ND looked like a star day one and then not ended up being a star. There are some that just jump right off the page the instant you see them and this kid is one of those. I expect him to be up and down this year like any freshman in the ACC, but it is clear he is more the kind of guy Duke signs than Nd most of the time.

He may help us forget Wesley - until we all ponder WTF our year would have been had Wesley played this one year with JJ. That had 2015 type potential talent wise, but not as seasoned as Grant, Pat, etc to pair with the talent.

The team overall is far more balanced and athletic than we’ve been in a while - except we have zero legitimate big men - two stretch 4’s and a freshman a year or more away. The constant Brey gap for forwards - where every 3-4 years we have a year where we have no true big men or only one total.
