Just noticed this tweet (young man looks like a 2017 HS grad.). I don't know enough about basketball recruiting to know if this is legit or not, so thought I'd post something in this thread. unlike the earlier young man I pointed out to buffnik, at least I could find quite a bit on this young man via Google search:

The webpage linked to in the tweet (http://showtimenation.com/recruiting-profile/?Player_ID=90&Name=Alex-Barcello) shows him with other offers from Grand Canyon, New Mexico and Virginia so far.

Per (http://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/alex-barcello/w2l0N1E2EeOZXQAmVebBJg/default.htm), looks like he's on Arizona's #1 ranked team.

Definitely sound good here (http://www.azcentral.com/story/spor...-nd-wave-talent-ready-another-title/19407727/). Per that article, sounds like the team also has an early potential "#1 recruit in the nation for 2018", and the school sounds like a (or THE?) perennial power in AZ basketball, so assume it could be good getting some connections with the school.

Nice find by [MENTION=7623]AztecBuff[/MENTION]

Looks like Arizona and Virginia are the frontrunners on this kid. Good looking PG though who's firmly established in the top 100. Good combo guard who can slide between the 1 & 2 but ESPN thinks he needs to tighten up his handle to be a full time point.

I dunno......list of offering schools is kinda weak.

 

[HawaiiBUFF]

ESPN now has him at #99 Overall and #20 PG. Also an 82 grade.

I remember last time CU recruited a well-ranked, but undersized point guard.........

Just to clarify, which CU player are you backhanded bashing this time?

Cute phrasing, but you're the expert-genius, Guess!
One guess only and its not a slam, back-handed or otherwise, its just rather obvious.
Results are hard to hide. FACT!
