Chris appears to be our highest rated recruit in over a decade. GIven the pedigree, I assume he is coming direct. Also know the Zionville School system is very strong with very high college attendence rates which reinforces liklihood that the grades are already in place. Needless to say, he will fill a need - and Coach Spiker is provingevery night that he plays plebes.

Yes, he has received his nominations, and his appointment. His he planning to go directly in.

I am thinking that Chris has a great opportunity to earn big minutes as a freshman. Hope he can close out his HS career as successfully as it has gone to date. We look forward to his arrival !

Chris has been one of several plebes that have earned plenty of playing time in the first half of the year and has opportunity to be a key player as the season unfolds. I have been impressed with his defensive aggressiveness and ability to secure rebounds given his 6' 4" size. Has a sweet shot - I keep waiting for that breakout game offensively. Has big time offensive skills but has seemed to play with a pass first mentality more often than not. Has a very nice career ahead of himself and will surely emerge as a 13-17 point scorer per game over time IMO.
