"He has played a mistake-free game" Basketball analyst says about Caleb Gaskins
On3's National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw talked about Caleb Gaskins' game after watching him at the USA Basketball Training Camp last summer:
"While he is not super dynamic, he has played a mistake-free game, and been able to pick his spots to make a play. Gaskins did not attempt anything he knew he could not do, he moved his feet on defense, and he knocked down spot shots from the corner."
The forward holds offers from the UCF Knights, Jacksonville Dolphines, Florida State Seminoles, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and Mississippi State Bulldogs, among others.
