He's athletic and looks the part. Just from my single game observation felt like he had a lot of work to do on his mechanics, accuracy and decision making. Of course it could have also been a bad game, but that's just how I saw it.
I am not doubting you and I don't have a dog in this fight. I just saying that at least 7 programs that are equal or even better than MU offered him scholarships. I don't think 8 schools would all make the same mistake on offering him, but that has happened before.
Remember he enrolled directly out of high school to Marshall in January so I wouldn't expect him to be a great player with only a few off season months in the program. If he was that good, he would have attracted P5 interest. I do think the future is bright for him when he gets some experience.
