[MikeKennedyRulZ]

Shockers have offered this 6'8" SF out of Crispus Attucks HS in Indianapolis. Ranked #50 overall nationally by 247 Sports and #73 nationally by Rivals in the class of 2023. Other offers include Butler, Illinois, LSU, Xavier, IUPUI, Tulane, Georgia, Marquette, and Depaul. Interest being reported from Indiana, Kansas, Michigan St., Purdue, and Wisconsin.

My comparison would be Cle Early. Long athletic kid with a high motor. Can shoot from distance and runs the floor well.

Doesn’t look too much like Norman Dale is coaching his team. I didn’t see any passes, let alone 5 before a shot goes up.

This is just a guess, but school tuition, Room and Board (often living with a host family), basketball coaching, etc. would be what SCA would offer. They (I know some people at SCA, and this mission story, below, is what they claim to be their mission) consider this their mission (not money) as a school. I know that their teachers are not paid well. Maybe there is a wealthy benefactor that I'm not aware of that contributes, but not to teachers. Why a post grad student who is highly recruited to other schools would go there outside of this mission, I have no idea.

"The film does features interviews with coaches and players, including one with Gatorade National Player of the Year Grady Dick, a 6-foot-8-inch small forward who’s headed to the University of Kansas this fall."

“Just the fact that we get to learn about Christ and read the Bible and study different topics within the Bible every single day — we start early, and then every Wednesday, we have chapel also,” Dick says. “It’s like they’re feeding us every day.”

Maybe a grade problem?

If he lives in Kansas for a year he would qualify academically at KU with lower in-state academic requirements.

He has a previous offer from WSU.
