Shouldn’t be looked as a negative, guys like him need to garner usage and reps right away rather than riding the bench at a P5, he would’ve just went down a level if didn’t play.
The 25 class while stronger, was the staple of it, multiple all conference mid major freshman’s who now are viewed upon greater than a number of top 100 HM guys who couldn’t find any minutes.
Just a shift in HS recruiting that I don’t think is actually a negative, love seeing freshman play off jump.
