"@babatheballer10 is one of the most elite HS players I’ve gotten to really lock in with over the years. #1 player in the Class of 2027. Skillset continues to sharpen up, as you can see in the first clip he listens (first cut wasn’t game speed, but then once I said something he raised up game speed)."
