Project but can’t teach size and strength. UW under Peterson has a strong hx of significantly improving performance for the next level. He can be another Lincoln Kennedy.
Hernandez always does a good job promoting the Kapolei kids! I give him credit for that, but non of them really materialized and developed into the players Hernandez said they were going to be! Yeah he has the size but, I’ve watched him play enough and here is my evaluation.
This kid need to play basketball more and improve his lateral movements. He also need to do explosive type work out to develop his legs strength. My advise is to do it now (Start doing lateral movements and explosive training) because your height may turn out to be a disadvantages for you!
UDUB!!! GOOOOOOOOOO HUSKIES!!
This kid has been playing competitive football for just 3 years but has lots of potential. Once he grows into his body he will be an animal. Sky’s the limit for this kid.
