Interesting because it shows that Z just isn't that great?  The video was three things:

1) shooting- it looks like Z has good form, but it's hard to tell how many he was really hitting because these videos only show makes.
2) passing- he's probably a good distributor for a high school or AAU team, but I didn't see anything special
3) dunking...in practice- in all of the game footage I never saw Z take the ball inside the arc, drive to the rim, or initiate contact, and there weren't any plays where he looked particularly fast or bouncy.

Unranked 2020 prospect.  If he wasn't Dwyane's kid we wouldn't even be paying attention.  Unless he blows up somehow, there are much better ways for Wojo to spend his time.

Horrible, right from the title. He's "already a top prospect" for what?

Marquette Team camp this weekend.  Some of the better out of state players who MAY be playing for their teams this weekend are Lance Jones of Evanston (IL) Ahron Ulis of Marian Catholic (IL) and DaJuan Gordon of Chicago Curie.

Then there's Blake "The Proclaimer" Peters.

Solid neck for a high school frosh. I just worry that he seems kind of reluctant to shoot.

One of the best prospects in the nation*

Is Ahron Ulis Tyler's younger brother?

Is there a list somewhere of which teams will be playing?

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Is Ahron Ulis Tyler's younger brother?

That is correct.

True. But you have to understand where Cain/MUFNY/Tex is coming from: he gets obsessed with borderline D1 recruits. Hypes them beyond belief. Will never stop posting about them even when they commit to another school. And, to top it off, he's rarely correct in projecting talent.

Plus, he likes to get young women drunk with the goal of having intentionally unprotected sex with them.

How about you stop with the constant Zaire articles until there's an indication Marquette is actually recruiting him?

Agreed, sprinkle in a few Kostas updates!

I'm looking forward to the Jeenathan Williams box scores.

HC, I'm going to quote myself from over 13,000 posts ago.

'If you please, I'd like to keep this to guys we're truly recruiting today.'

Thanks for respecting the process.

Blake Peters has no conscience. The most confident and level headed freshaman I have ever seen. Sneaky good athlete as well.

Problem is, he's already taller than his dad so I doubt he grows anymore.

How do you know we are not recruiting him?

[Its DJOver]

How do you know we are not recruiting him?

Using that logic you should just link the entire 24/7 recruiting database, there's no evidence that we're not recruiting every high school player in the country for the class of 2020.  Unless there is confirmed interest by either the player, staff, or a trusted source, we don't need the updates.

Look, I get the interest.  Perhaps a new thread for him.  And folks can decide to engage or not.

Apparently we were watching Cole Anthony up in the frozen north. I think we might have been watching someone else, I don't remember us being mentioned with him previously and this would be very late in the game to try to get involved with a top 5 player that has every blue blood in chase.
