Latest data suggests 6'4" 179. A lot on the Internet is very dated.
Doubt he'll ever play at more than 185/190. He's wirey.

I haven't seen a video with so many dunks before, so the questions about the rest of his game were valid. Not sure if we've ever had a player of his style before - he doesn't remind me of anyone. I guess I would call him the taller, even more athletic Goodman...
How about a Duane King who can shoot?

Looks like 2019 will be the year we look to bring in some size. We already have a very promising 2/3 wing in Martz in the 2019 class, but Max Rothschild has only next year and AJ won't be here forever.
I think Simmons and Wang are flexible players who can play the 4/5 or even the three at times and Eddie Scott can play the 3/4, but, unless Mark Jackson develops, I think we need to bring in a banger or someone really skilled to play the 5. I sense that Donahue would like to recreate some of the inside/outside dynamics of those strong Cornell teams.

Kudos to Coach Donahue for capitalizing on the uncertainty at Pitt -- I guess Washington didn't like the new coach?
I love that he Photoshopped himself in a Penn jersey!

In 2017 on the NIKE EYBL circuit his stats were:
16 games he averaged 12.7 mpg:
5.6 pts pg, 3.3 Rebs, 42% FG (36-84), 19% 3pt (5-27), 93% FT (12-13), 9 steals, 10 assists, 16 turnovers
Needs to work on the 3pt shooting but I like the FT%!

I also have to think that being the Ivy champ and getting a lot of positive PR during this year's March Madness played a role. Easier to recruit for a currently winning program than one where you're largely selling past glory. Hopefully they can continue to capitalize on that with the 2019 class.

Well, if this is any indication of how the coaching staff can leverage the past season's success with potential recruits, color me optimistic.

So is he a good 3pt shooter or a bad one? I'm seeing conflicting stats here.

His school stats good, his NIKE EYBL stats....bad.
That means either he didn't get many open looks at EYBL (5-27) or he struggled against better competition. Usually guys jack up contested 3's at EYBL so I wouldn't put too much stock in those stats.

Seems like Woods--if given an open 3 it's reasonable to let him shoot it.
But he seems to have more of a profile of a scorer than of a shooter.

Based on the eye test of a few player favorable video clips, my gut says he'll need to grow into being a capable outside shooter. It looks like he needs time to set - same as Woods and Foreman.
He's aggressive to the rim and has hops so there's also that.
Think he's going to need to add some more muscle to that frame. Also agree with AsiaSunset that he has a wiry frame and doubtful he's going to put on a lot of weight.
It's going to be fun watching Eddie, Jarrod and Bryce for the pregame layup drill.

Someone who has seen him play, has followed his HS career, or has direct awareness of his recruitment. Second-hand feedback is welcome too. :) What's that mean? What is a direct view?

Second hand? Do you mean can he go to his left?

Sounds like second hand confirmation to me.
