This is an area I've been mentioning for the reasons you mentioned...
And the quality of this class. This can't be ignored.
But that gives us some options.
He doesn't need to be elite year 1.
And since he's not going to be a top 4 in this class (they'll be gone) we need to think of an elite compliment to Puka.
The top 4
MHJ
Nabers
Odunze
Coleman
Off the board.
Egbuka
Brian Thomas Jr.
Xavier Worthy
Adonai Mitchell
Tre Harris (if he declares)
Rishard Owens (if he declares)
Troy Franklin
Tez Walker?
Johnny Wilson?
Jalen McMillan?
There are others as well that's just the top of my head.
These guys could be elite in a system catering to their strengths.
We need a speed element. And hands.
Then we can work them in. They'd never have to be more than a 2 until they were ready. No pressure.
I like our options.
