Committed. Not much info on the guy other than 6'4" and from the University School of Nashville. A PWO maybe? Doesn't even say what position he plays. Tn ranking 58?

This is about all I could find on this player - would probably be a shooting guard, and PWO sounds about right - under the rim player from the highlights.

#58 is not exactly a robust ranking, but a USN guy should be able to do his VU schoolwork.

That would be great if it was national, but this is a Tennessee rank.

58 could be for all classifications. If he was the #58 SENIOR, then you'd have something. either way, he's likely a PWO.

Yup, understanding is he's a PWO. He's got good size for a combo guard (6'5). Hopefully we don't need to rely on him seeing meaningful minutes on the court, but seems like a great guy to root for in mop up time.

Always good to have guys who can practice with the team, as we’ve seen with some of the injury woes VU has had the past several seasons.
His release seems very low on his 3-point shot - will require plenty of space to get it off.

After a little digging, the kid was the #3 combo guard in the state for the class of 2022 according to prep hoops. The site has a few write ups:

“State Semi-finalist. NextLevelSkillsBasketball All-Star . Lefty wing with a slipperiness to his game. State Tournament Semifinalist.”
