No.There was a rumor that PM passed on him last time before he signed with BYU. Is that true?
Will be interesting to see how he develops there. Was such a frustrating player because he has the size and strength and athleticism to be very good, but he and/or the staff never developed his basketball skills.
Not a joke, just hasn’t popped yetSo was the “committ watch” just a joke?

Maybe he was t fully bought in.Love the shooting numbers but am a little concerned/confused by his lack of playing time at the two previous stops and the modest list of schools currently looking at him. Haven’t watched his highlights so I’m not suggesting he isn’t a good player, just wonder if there is something about his game that doesn’t translate to higher level competition.
He never showed improved handles or passing, i.e., skills. His shooting numbers looked good but he was only taking one three per game and you could see his shot wasn’t fundamentally sound. So yes, those things were bound to catch up to him when the competition ramped up.He showed a ton of potential/basketball skills the first half of the season.
You can blame tougher competition the second half of the season or poor coaching, whatever makes you feel good.
To me, it seemed to be mostly mental/frustration. He just wasn't mentally tough enough to handle the adversity.
I'd wager he will turn out to be a very good player as he matures. Wish he would have stuck it out here.
Agree.He never showed improved handles or passing, i.e., skills. His shooting numbers looked good but he was only taking one three per game and you could see his shot wasn’t fundamentally sound. So yes, those things were bound to catch up to him when the competition ramped up.
I’m curious how both he and uzan do. If the staffs can really push them. If so just more fire for the anti moser group.. which I’m def more that way then not.Will be interesting to see how he develops there.

If it was for OU, then absolutely yes.So was the “committ watch” just a joke?
Yea I’ve seen people say he just had the yips, but it wasn’t that. He just isn’t a good shooter.Agree.
But with as badly as Pope needs players, he's probably thinking it's worth the gamble to see if he can be November-January Otega. Because the February March was BAAD.
He has zero players on the roster with 3-4 commits, so it's probably worth that risk for an experienced P6 athletic guard. But I'm with you- it's not just mental that is the issue.
