This recruiting cycle, somehow this recruit was left around for me to pull-down after the signing period had started:

Based on his Ath/Speed/Def potentials, I assume at minimum he'll be a 85ath/79speed/86def and more than likely a 90/85/90 type player (or if I'm really lucky a 99/99/99 one  ) capable of locking down any D3 guard at least on the defensive end.

But his mediocre perimeter/BH and maybe passing might restrict him on the offensive end of the court.

My question for the more experienced coaches is can the high ath/speed be used on the offensive end of the court and make him a viable offensive weapon even with the lack of elite offensive skills?

I'm also leaning to red-shirting him and then unleashing him on the unsuspecting D3 guards of Phelan .

sure! he'll be great down the road when his passing rating comes up. set him on -2 and play him at sf. don't play him at sg til he is at least at thirty five passing........by the way his ample ath/spd totals will generate a lot of fouls when playing inferior defenders. enjoy!

didn't believe what i already told you...i'm offended :)

Gonna be a dominant scorer actually. So we are looking at 90 ath and at least 79 spd? He's gonna go for 20+ppg, with at least a .550 fg% (and probably near .580). 

I'd take him on my Valdosta St team in a minute. (D II Knight)
