    Here are his other offers listed at verbalcommits.com:

    Northwestern
    Texas-Arlington
    Incarnate Word
    Stephen F. Austin
    Youngstown State
    Murray State

    Am I to get excited?

    I mean I understand we have done very well in the "diamond in the rough" category, but they can't all be. This dude ain't even an across-the-board 2 star recruit. He'd be a solid "meh" for even Evansville, for goodness sakes.

        He's getting a lot of attention. Baylor and UCLA have been recruiting him as well.

          I'm more than happy to be corrected or shown better data. I'm just going off of face value, and at this point in time the recruiting services barely notice this guy exists.

                  Go to uaa.io

                  Look at leaders and lookup all the players he's scoring more than. Not only that but he's up there in rebounds and assists as well.

                  • Kid looked pretty decent to me. Handles ball well and has a nice touch. Saw a little hang time with the up and under switching to the left hand. Just because he's not being chased by the power fives doesn't mean he's not a Marshall type player. Looked pretty solidly built also...

                    • I'd take him! Quick changing moves...good handles...shoots well...nice ups! Yeah...diamond in the rough. Grow the hair...rbv.2

                          did you see the video of Bill Self trying to explain on why they missed on FVV They saw him play and he asked his assistant coach in July "What about that guy?" His coach told him that Wichita State had just got a commitment from him last week. They tried to get in on Fred and it was too late. These schools send so much time on Burger boys and other Top 50 talent, they miss out on lots of good players.

                              247 shows Baylor, Arizona, KSU, Virginia, TCU, Creighton, and Vandy with interest.

                              • I like him, reminds me of a bigger Ron Baker. Plays high school ball at a small private school, probably didn't get much exposure until he started playing for the Defenders.
