I heard that he was opening eyes the past few weeks but that really started to pick up after his game yesterday against Lebron’s AAU team. He also looked really good against Skyy Clark and the WWTS event last weekend. He looks to be an elite defender and passer, if he can keep working on his shot, he is going to be a monster.
That's been a theme of the spring against MoKan too. Clark/Bradley haven't impressed to this point. Bradley can't shoot. Runs a team but had some guys say he's not playing much better then Tre Holloman who I know from MN--who is very talented, but Tre's weakness is also shooting, but he is an elite defender/passer. Saw Bradley play against Minnehaha this past year and he played fine, but Minnehaha had no guard play this year, they were not high major guards and their one kid with experience missed game with an injury-albeit he's not in Bradley's class talent wise.

Clark..I'm personally not or ever been high on him, but those at events have liked the MoKan 16U guard Bryson Warren more then Skyy in terms of how guards in their AAU system are playing right now.

So it sounds like this is a very deep and talented class at pretty much every position. That bodes well for a program like UK that usually relies heavily on Freshmen talent.

Hopefully Antigua, Coleman, and Lucas live up to their hype and reel in several of these guys.

Yep--just about guys who have played well to this point and stood out/backed up or in many cases exceeded the hype. Gortman is having a huge Spring. He's been very impressive and faced big names. Thompson Twins are not on a Shoe affiliated Circuit team and haven't lost a game to this point. Flipowski's performance against Team Final which many people who follow UK can attest is a talented team--specifically their frontcourt--was big time. He put on a show of skill that put Duren/Lively in a blender away from basket. Ware from Arkansas is having a monster Spring--very skilled. No word on whether UK will recruit Mady Traore from MD who Illinois was in heavy pursuit of--he's a 6'11 skilled PF as well. But Yohan Traore who plays with Keyonte George has been also tearing it up and gaining offers so far.

Sharpe has been killing everyone he faced. The other thing I should mention is that 47 pt game on the tremendous shooting came against E1T1 and that's the team with Dillon Mitchell who is touted as one of the best defensive players in the class--the guy who got a lot of attention for how he defended Emoni Bates at the Midwest Mania event. Sharpe going 47 on the high percentage he did and getting a W is not like it came against some bums.

Some bigs they've not seen yet are Adem Bona (his film is impressive but nobody's seen him this Spring yet), Mark Mitchell Jr--been out injured, Sada Nganga who had a big HS season in '19 and then was on same team as TyTy Washington at AZ Compass but sat out due to.....well I don't know--I'd guess he was injured??

The best part is that so many of these guys have relationships with Antigua and Coleman already and they were already offered by Illinois. So it shouldn't take much to get involved with many of the unfamiliar names.
Thanks for the info! Much appreciated.
