    It appears this kids recruitment was just starting to blow up as high major programs all offered recently

          The goshockers.com article makes it official.

        Love the signing and found several compliments about him being a hard worker & grinder. Great shooter that reminds me of David Kyles from highlight tape.

          There was also mention of being a good student. The combination of physical talent and intangibles seems good on paper. Given these traits, he seems like a guy that should have been on the recruiting services radar, but it is really easy to forget the blindspots in that system. Time will tell, but I think we might have gotten a steal here.

            Dexter did a unofficial visit to Georgia Tech. Did he visit anywhere else?

              Hopefully more like TC and less like CJ.

                This kid has potential. Good for Marshall to beat out some tough competition late.

                  Guys, this is looking like, offensively speaking, Tekele Cotton -- but with deep range. I didn't realize that he barely played AAU and was therefore not evaluated by the services. This could be a major, major steal.

But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'

                    I like that he didnt play much AAU ball. No shoes involved, could be a major player

                    Best part of the article: "When he gets in the open court and he gets that step in the lane, then there's going to be a body."

                  From the limited video we see, Dexter appears to have a nice outside shot. Neither a young TC or CJ (ever) had a nice outside shot.

                    I like that he's been coached by a former 3G point guard from Winthrop. That might give him some limited head start in Gregg's system.

                      Yeah, not much to go on. I was thinking more along the lines of a Jamar Howard with an outside shot. But basically we just need Dexter to be the best Dexter Dennis he can be.

                        6'5" and 200 now. He can probably play at 215 or so by the time he's a So. or a Jr. That puts him in Baker territory for the ability to play physical.

                        At first I was wondering if he's "all that" why is he still available? Never played AAU, so he didn't get seen there, and played small town ball in HS. Then Marshall gets the "you gotta see this guy" message. This is almost an exact parallel of Baker's situation coming into WSU.

                        Had some decent assist numbers at prep school. That gets interesting.

                        I have no fear of being skeptical, even if Marshall thought someone was good enough for a schollie. I'm optimistic about this signing. Seems to have decent quickness for someone with his length and width.
                        The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.

                          This is the first piece of my dream Torres, Alvarez and Dexter trifecta.

                            I'm excited. It seems like we've been reaching a little and this kid is legit.
