I've seen him play quite a bit, since he was in 8th grade and getting minutes with the Varsity team at FCDS.
I think people should take his rating with a predictive grain of salt, and by that I mean, I think a lot of recruiting gurus truly believe that he'll continue to grow into his body and maybe gain an inch or two.
He was probably 5'0, 100 pounds soaking wet when he started playing with "the big boys" and his version of defense was literally to grab on to whoever he was guarding until he was shaken off or whistled for a foul. His talent was undeniable, even that early, but his defense has always been questionable as he is just too small, too weak, etc.
I'll believe it when I see it with Tyler. I agree, to an extent, with RJ that he's the second coming of the Professor. If he doesn't grow and if he fails to put even a decent effort in the weight room (which won't be the case, this kid works hard), then he's going to be a monumental bust.
I believe that he'll be fine in the ACC if he continues to get stronger and adapts to playing against tougher defenders. To what extent, however, remains to be seen, and like I've said many times before, I still think he's overrated; I still think CMM is better suited both for Wake and for the ACC; and, I have to believe, at least in some capacity, Bzz and Battle (and, to an extent Dino) both agree because the chance was there at one point and they seemingly passed it up...
