Found this blurb on a rivals thread from a guy that I guess is familiar with the kid (for better or worse). Generally everyone that has seen him play agrees that he is a solid athlete that can score.
"Great to hear about Calvin... Got a call yesterday from Florida about him s this legit... Definitely a high level athlete/scorer, total game just wasn't complete as it may well be now... Even out of HS, I'd have to say that at worst he was a Mid Major prospect (CAA) with High MM Potential (A-10/C-USA) so this jump is no surprise...
What people don't know is behind the scenes, Newell is a Tireless worker on his game and on his body, plus he's got that pit bull mentality which allows "OUR" kids to excel especially when they go to schools down south and out west as they are just much tougher kids...
On not playing D, never worried me, with his physical tools, he always had the potential to be a top level backcourt defender... It was NEVER that he couldnt defend, just that he chose not to, BIG DIFFERENCE..."
