he's still raw and does hog the ball at times,but the kid is very good. in the right college program he might be able to go pro.

I must have missed it but is there a defensive clip, he has pretty good offensive skills.

Not to sound rude, but outside of the dunks - those are plays that almost every high school player in the country could compile over a season.
He obviously has real talent if big D1 schools are scouting him, but the highlight reel isn't that impressive.

I currently live in a small town in KY. This town has produced more big time college players than the places I lived in California. Sure Inglewood, South Bay Area, and Compton have produced more NBA talent. I will give you that.
But when you want a kid whose fundamentally sound, can shoot and play lock down defense that kid is going to be found out here in a fly over state. Sure there are dunkers here and athletes. But When Billy Donovan, John Calapari, Dean Smith and Mike Kkrzyzewski make what seems to be yearly visits to a town of less than 15,000 they ain't looking to give a scholarship to someone they have to teach fundamentals to. They are looking for kids that can play and play right now.
Got size, can shoot it from outside, play solid defense... You're gonna get some colleges knocking no doubt. It also helps to have that GPA in order too. Then you can take your talents anywhere!
