There are some similarities to Fred's game. His body type was one, strength, BBIQ, passing ability, and he's more athletic than first appears. Finally, the way he plays defense, and sneakily (word?) digs for the ball (stealing it away) is reminiscent of Fred and Ron.

Gregg and Coach Lindsted watching Xavier today. Awkward to see Heiar sitting five seats down from them. https://twitter.com/endless_motor/st...82676106063872

23% from 3?????

Small sample size, but this kid seems to be more of a distributor than a scorer.

Awfully lot of coaches there the last 2 days. Any other players our coaches could be taking another look at?

Love his game. Finishes well in traffic, creates for his teammates, and has a leg up on everybody else on the floor with his quickness. A little under the radar but we more than anybody else should recognize star ratings hardly matter with Marshall at the helm. The 3 pt % could be better but that's something that can always be tinkered with and improved upon.

I didn't see X take a shot on video, but if he has good form (he does shoot 70% FT), and he is a good worker, he just needs to put in the work. Fred wasn't a great shooter in high school either. He improved every year.

Here are the videos I based my analysis off of, showed a bit more of his abilities

Doesn't give me good vibes on the chances of either Harris or Lomax
