Holy Skinny, batman. He had better strap a board across his ass to keep from slipping down the shower drain. Eat a cheeseburger, Luke.

AND WELCOME, YOUNG BUFF!

Great pickup!

With another two years of growth and experience before he gets here, he could get some high recognition by then. He’s got that early “It” factor.
 
I don't know, these highlights are so hard to judge from. So he is a Jr. and has the opportunity to get stronger and more athletic, and supposedly is still growing. I like the signing...quick release, fairly good handle, decent athleticism, can shoot it or drive (some unconventional finishes). Its possible if CU waited another year to offer he may have had interest from higher schools. We will be losing Brown and Gatling his first year.
 
Love that quick release at his height. Still seems to be awkwardly growing into his body a bit...committing early is a perfect chance for Luke to block out the distractions and focus on adding some strength and explosiveness while maintaining his stroke
 
Hope this kid is a sleeper....career 43% from the field....44,42, and 43% in his three years..25% from three this year.. Go Buffs.

So he’s gone from a mid 40 to a mid 20 percent shooter in HS? Yikes!

Given the fact the roster if filled with top 150 type recruits, it's silly to say Tad doesn't have the ability to recruit P5 talent.

Which roster is filled with top 150 recruits? Not CU's roster. There is not one player on the current roster that was rated in the top 150 coming out of HS. It is silly to even say CU's roster is filled with those type of recruits. You've been drinking too much Kool-Aid

?? Medford may have overstated it by saying FILLED with 150 recruits, but we definitely have a handful - Schwartz, Battey, Bey, Siewart, and Namon. McKinley should have been, and I think practically speaking, he was considered a 150-esque talent. Gatling was a JUCO AA. Our recruiting is down, but Tad has and can recruit.

Bey, Battey, and Schwartz were all top 150. Siewert was close, Namon was a top 150 guy, and Mckinley should have been given his play. Tad had misses in the '15 and '16 classes which is killing us.

A 6'6" scorer in Co shooting 43% from the field....?

Looked up some current stats. Most game scores are in the 50's-60's. After 20 games- 20.6PPG, 46% FG, 74% FT, 3.1 APG, 8.6 rbd, 1.7 stl, 1.7 blk.
Over last 8 games: 23.6 ppg, 60% FG. Improving? Or lesser competion? Don't know. From seeing limited video clips, it looks like he has the potential to be a scorer, not just a shooter, and with some passing abilit. Hoping to catch a game before regular season ends later this month. He's got another 18 months to grow (maybe), and get stronger and hone skills.
