He'd be a great get. Looks to be able to shoot the ball pretty well.
OLD FRIEND ALERT:
Alden Applewhite's coach is... Pete Kaffey.

They are given a star rating at different times and it doesn’t just magically change until that time comes around again. Pretty safe to say he’s no longer going to be a three star.
The highlight reel I saw, I was most impressed with Alden’s willingness and ability to pass. That’s the hallmark of a good teammate.
I saw that too. That makes me not very comfortable/hopeful with his recruiting process.
Chris Payton, SF/PF, Indian Hills: Payton is a 6-7 forward out of Bloomington, Illinois, who was originally committed to Southern Illinois in the 2019 class. Iowa State is in communication with him, Indian Hills head coach Hank Plona told the Register.

Love this, dude is legit. A little undersized but insane athleticism and put up better numbers than Woldetensae at UVA and Tyon Grant-Foster at KU did as freshman at IH.
I love that guy's highlights. He's 6'6" but plays like he's 6'10" and his post moves were terrific (even though he was posting up mostly guys his size or below). These types of JUCO guys are the ones I like. He reminds me of Hogue outside of Dustin's shooting ability.
Like both this Payton kid and Applewhite.
Looks to get after it on the boards too. Been a while since we have seen that.
Averaged 11 and 5 in 18 min per game. Has insane vert, and plays very tough. For all the people complaining "we need to find another Hogue" well here he is Payton is as close to what you will ever get.

I go to a lot of games at Iowa Western, it's always tough to tell exactly how juco's will translate because there is a lot of athleticism and raw skill but this kid stood out immediately. Best athlete I've watched at that level since Jameel McKay. Love to see him running the floor at Hilton.
"Plays very tough" and only averaged 4 rebounds a game? Also, why is he only getting 18 minutes a game at Indian Hills?
All concerning stats in my brief uneducated opinion.
From going and watching him last season I noticed his passing ability was at a very high level as well.
