He played in my Memorial Day Tournament of Champions. He was, by far, the most advanced ninth-grader I've ever seen.

It's a big day for him. I saw him yesterday and wished him luck and told him to have fun out there. You only get that debut one time. He'll be nervous. He'll be scared. Everybody is -- and you hope he is. That's natural.

Personally, I think he has the coaching ability. A lot of it will depend on his staff. He'll need to add to his staff an assistant coach who has some connections to urban areas and be able to attract inner-city kids.

It could be the best class since the Fab Five.

I've never seen him play, and I don't know anyone who has. In this day and age of information, who's seen this kid play?

He's reputed to be a top international player, and from what I've heard in college circles he's a player who is loaded with potential. Generally, you find that international players are more fundamentally skilled than players over here, and from what I understand he's a typical international player in that regard.
