Like the signing, but what is NT going to do with a team of point guards?

small guards, at that too. Taylor is listed 5'9" 175...the other '24 commit Jaylin Washington is 5'9" 155. figure in two years they'll be sharing a backcourt with 5'11" 170 Christian Moore. 

a baller is a baller and both the '24 commits could still sprout up a few inches...but we've got the start of a teeny backcourt

I trust the AAU summer competition was strong and that he shined there.

These are early commitments so you never know if both will actually sign. Keep bringing in good talent. HS kids can grow a lot in a year.

Article also mentioned Chris McDermott as a UNT target. If so, he would be a major AAC caliber talent. Very impressive State Championship tournament last year; where his Houston Washington team fell short to Oak Cliff Faith Family Academy in 4A.

So is he the next DJ or what?

After Austin Reaves was doubted his whole life , I am going to reserve judgement more often .

DJ a much different player . This kid seems like a creator .

Agreed, but it is uncanny how they resemble each other.

Very excited about this guy.  Sort of a poor mans Curley Neal.

What amazes me is that he is from Farmington AR, a suburb of Fayetteville.  He committed to us without waiting for the Razorbacks.  I sure hope this holds.  The kid is amazing.  If he and McDermott both sign, the future really looks bright.

I thought that as well @GrayEagle.  I figure he took our offer to put pressure on the Hogs
