This is completely unfair but I see Ja Morant for some reason with this kid
Marcedus Leech - Overcoming Adversity
- Thread starter Gil
- Start date
Did you say the same thing last summer about Haliburton, by any chance?
The thing is is this kid is still growing.. he’s like 6’6 now and could be 6’7 easily by next year.. he’s got long arms too..
I think after his frosh year here he will explode.. will be nearly 3 years from his injury.. if he regains 80% of his athleticism he will be a steal cause his jump shot is smooth.. I’m anxious to see how he is defensively.. that will determine how much he plays imo.
Many have downplayed this recruiting class but I think it could be great.. Tre Jackson has a legit shot at playing a lot early and I might be most excited for Luke Anderson who is 6’9 with guard like ball skills.

I think this is a very, very good class that is unfairly in the shadow of last year’s home run class.
Luke Anderson could be an interesting player but I bet he is a junior or redshirt sophomore before he makes a big impact. Hope I'm wrong.
I also get the feeling Jackson could be a Jacob Pullen type player.

Prohm doesn't seem to redshirt freshman so I doubt Anderson will.
Anybody else get a comparison of Will Clyburn to this guy, similar builds.
Hope he can be that guy for us, would be huge for this team going forward if we had a guy like that for 2-3 years

Most coaches don’t redshirt freshman any more. It’s not just prohm.
I think he can be a rotation player that gets an increasing number of minutes as the season goes along. Might be tough to crack the starting lineup, though. Depends on how Prohm fills the roster with the departure of Lard, LW and THT.
He kind of reminds me of Malik Monk. Skinny, can shoot the heck out of the ball and can jump out of the gym when healthy.
Saw the Clyburn post above as well but agree with this Monk comparison. The athleticism he shows is outstanding. Looking forward to what he'll bring.
I doubt he will either, honestly I doubt either Prohm or Anderson has even had that discussion and wont until the fall after they see his role. Anderson has stretch 4 ability and his shooting and ability to ball handle should translate well next year so theirs an opportunity to contribute.
Prohm did come out after the season and regretted not RS Griffin, so is obviously open to doing so and may look to do that in the future.
Likely a different situation since Griffin had a couple of injuries leading into the season putting him behind and then the roster was thin due to suspensions and other players injuries.
I'm not really seeing any of those guys in his game. Alot more James Harden and Kemba Walker in it.
