He has a decent-but-not-great evaluation on PG. The phrase that jumped out to me was "Excellent student". I wonder if he's coming on academic money and isn't taking any of the 11.7.
I think it's ironic that you rallied against the idea of showcases in favor of in-game application of skills, then came back with a story about someone throwing 95. 95 is cool, but is he getting outs and winning games?
