Does he just not play or is he hurt?

 

[moses1uk]

Not good enough to play

 

[TheDude73]

I don't even know where he transferred...

 

[MidseasonTweak]

He isn't good

 

[Zissou87]

He had a shoulder separation that held him for a while. Even when healthy, he wasn't getting a lot of clock. I hate it for him. He's the only transfer that I wanted to really excel at their new school.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

He is a bust.

 

[true blue1]

I wish he had stayed here and worked on his game.

 

[Captain_Kentucky]

He is a bust.

cal has had more than his fair share of busts over the last few years

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Ranking services got lazy. So many kids were 5-star because they were long, could jump, or played against Make-A-Wish level teams.

 

[wildcat_nation28]

Lsu

 

[L.O.D.]

Kid looked like he had GREAT potential just totally fell flat.

Ranking services suck in general IMO. Way too much emphasis on athleticism vs actual basketball skills/fundamentals. Also think their rankings are more geared toward professional aspirations instead of college transition,

 

[wildcat_nation28]

Didn't he lose his father

 

[DraftCat]

Bust and prob broken as a man....

Wish him well in life

When did he ever look great?

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Didn't he lose his father

Yes.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

I understand some misses, but he came along when Cal was missing more than hitting. Not sure what people saw that led to such a high ranking. Obviously not skilled.

 

[wildcat_nation28]

Well if u can't get any clock at a bad lsu team I guess he was over rated

 

[Fox2monk]

He’s just not skilled, just a skinny kid that could dunk. He could dominate small high school players but once in college he never put on muscle or developed anything.

 

[chroix]

He dunked on everybody in the Bahamas like a man on a mission. I thought he was going to be great one for us. Never panned out for all of the obvious tragic reasons. Too damn bad. Seemed like a great kid that caught an awful hand.

 

[Cat in ga]

Didn't he lose his father

He did. Probably explains why his heads not in it. Can’t blame him. Awfully young to lose your father

 

[wildcat_nation28]

I agree

 

[UK90]

Not sure what people saw that led to such a high ranking.

They saw moments like this:

 

[HagginHall1999]

Book it...he will have a career game against us.

 

[WildcatforLife1965]

I’ll never run down a player that suffered that loss. It’s low class.

Yeah, not skilled. Great leaping ability and quickness off the floor. I wonder whether going the mid-major route for 3 years, and then transferring if he developed would have worked?
