Marty Levinson, Saddleback CC Assistant:
“I love Zach’s game,” Levinson said Thursday. “He is a true shooting guard who can knock down big shots. He has a great pace to his game, decent size and the ability to handle the ball. And guard the 1, 2 or 3.
“He kicked our butt in the state championship game a year ago, and backed it up with another great year. He’s a Bay Area kid and has no fear.”
Offers: Illinois State, Nebraska
I was expecting to watch 8 minutes of him sinking 3s. Nope. Dedicates the first 1:30 to defensive plays and the rest is mostly him driving, dishing, rebounding and finishing. Pure shooter, but there's a whole lot more to his game than that.
I think this is an absolute game changer if CU can sign him. I think he'd play point for us with Namon at the 2 and King on the wing.

He's in Akyazili's class, too...
The more I read, the more I like.

- Averaged nearly 6 trips to the FT line a game
- California JUCO player of the year
- Says he wasn't one of the better players on Berkeley's 2015 HS state championship team - he worked his way into what he has become

I know it probably isn't feasible, but I do love having George King on the block or at the four. Matchup nightmare and he's so damn good at boarding. Copeland, Wright, Schwartz/Bey/Brown, King, Miller
Even a bigger matchup nightmare if there's a stretch-4 like Siewert in the game and King is posting up and rebounding against the other team's 3.

Is Peters a viable option as PG?
I think your lead guard has to have a more controlled game than what we saw from Peters.
I love the French kid as well but think this guy is the number one target. He looks like one of those guys who makes everyone else better, who can impact the game even when not adding to his own stat line. Also fits what Tad wants to do on defense with the quickness to stay with guys on the perimeter and those long arms to get in the way of passing lanes.

Need this kid...
Copeland tweeted that he committed to Illinois St. Can't copy from my phone.
Dammit!
Damn. CU really has to land Darrington, or someone we haven't zeroed in yet that can play right away.

Reminds me of Landry Shamet committing to wichita without visiting. It sucks.

Illinois State? Do people from the midwest even commit to Illinois State?
Top 50 in kenpom this year. Really got hosed not getting in the dance. They only lost to Wichita in conference play. Very good team. Still disappointing couldn't get him to visit boulder first.
I was worried that would happen. They had been recruiting him first and hard before major conference programs like CU jumped in. He'd been close to committing to them for a couple months. And they had a heck of a season. Still, this sucks.
Copeland is ineligable for the '17-'18 season.
