I think this kid is a 2023 recruit. Something isn’t entirely adding up though. Per his Twitter, received an offer from Wichita State in 2021, but that’s been it. Weird to get an offer from a high profile program like that and then crickets. http://instagram.com/p/CuPXlMaOg6W

So is this kid any good and did he actually commit to HC? Not sure why he’d post that to his instagram if he didn’t…but curious there are no other reports.

The movie was filmed in the Spring of 2022 which I believe would have been his jr year of high school. Sounds like most of his hs years were at LC Bird Hs in a Richmond suburb. Not sure where he was for his senior year. Interesting story.

Wills was also in the cast of Swagger, a series, (season two was just released), based on the life of young basketball stars such as Kevin Durant. Looks like the two seasons involve about 15 episodes so I have to assume Wills devoted considerable time to that as of late. Not sure when season 1 was released.

Not sure when season 1 was released. 18 episodes in total and Season One aired during the last 3 months of 2021. Maybe this and the movie explain the Wichita State offer in 2021 followed by no more offers.

Wonder if he will be a Theatre Arts Major? When he saw the new Prior Center, next to the Luth Complex, that may have sealed the deal. 🙂

We might see attendance at some games increase with a few invited guests on campus.
Most importantly, he will be a positive addition to the program

I called the St Vincent St Mary basketball coach and asked if we could arrange a night in Worcester for the original Shooting Stars and the current version of the Irish to attend a Holy Cross game and play against Worcester Academy as a prelim. Next call is to Eddie Reilly and then to Holy Cross
Could be a way to bring the Buckeyes back to the Hart Center so it works for everybody

Wonderful idea, efg Good luck with any roadblocks. I hope the WA schedule is not filled. It would be a great, even if unlikely coincidence, if King James was playing the Celtics at that time.

Timing is right with a new coach secure enough to consider creative ideas like this. Having Rabs and the two Declans on the team can't hurt.
