Rutgers is in dire need of a rim protector/rebounder and this kid lives 15 minutes from campus. Just saying

very raw imo...

he's a beast for sure but he doesn't have much in the way of low post moves or footwork. his points come from a lot of rebounds/dunks against shorter players from what i've seen (only seen him in person twice fwiw).

he's a kid that if you could get in your program for 2-3 seasons he'd be a great one to try and get but in this current environment i'm less convinced.

Don't think he's anywhere near ready for this level. Saw him only twice also.

Need a kid who is like 22 years old. Not raw.

Cliff was raw and still is raw. Forget offense. This kid is an animal in the box and will try to grab every rebound.

How about 22 and raw. We might have one of those on the team at center

15 schollies now. Gotta take a flyer on a kid like this and see what happens.

Looks like Plainfield hired the Gil St. Benard official statkeeper

Hot take: No more transfers from NJ

Everything always boils down to "and they grew up 10min away!"

He's in high school not a transfer.

I am going to call you Vinnie Johnson.......you have a lot of HOT takes.

Imagine you have Thomas and Dumars and can bring Vinnie off the bench!

That was before your time

RU-related (distantly) trivia: Johnson was drafted by Seattle the same year as Bailey was drafted by Seattle. Seattle picked Bailey and Vinnie Johnson back to back with the #6 and #7 picks.
