Yeah I guess he's worth trying at both, the Perimeter D vs Post D just seemed to pigeonhole him into SG, but with his length maybe he's better on D in the lane than I'd think.
It's definitely working to our advantage as smaller schools to have this many 3/4* players commit before the 5*'s do & big schools pivot. Maybe some of these guys would still commit to a smaller school that showed them early love & fits their desires rather than just grabbing any high major offer, but it really does seem like even the elite schools are better off only going after a couple 5*'s instead of tying up all their spots. We'll see what happens with the next 2 sims though - I have 2 4* guys that have Kansas & NC State lurking respectively, we'll see if they still commit before those schools can offer them (if that's the reason for no offer.)
