    I'm really curious as to how good at basketball he is. Couldn't find any video but he told all the TBS reporters he wants to play both up here.

    Wasn't ET the number 2 or 3 ranked point guard? There is a lot of talent on that team, hopefully he can be an all pac 12 corner and replace King, and hopefully take 10-15 snaps a game on offense
    Keep him the fuck away from that injuryhobby.
    I wouldn't want him playing it either, but apparently it matters to him a lot. Enough to make it a focal point of ASU's last second desperation pitch to flip him. Which is why I'm wondering how good he actually is for that to be so high priority for him.
    He's averaging 11 points/game this year. He may have visions of playing D1 basketball, but is he going to take minutes from Murray?

    Wasn't ET the number 2 or 3 ranked point guard, and he couldn't play both. ASJ was a freak, and he could barely do it. There is a lot of talent on that team, hopefully he can be an all pac 12 corner and replace King, and hopefully take 10-15 snaps a game on offense
    He wasnt' anywhere near that high as a point guard, I think he was at the lower end of the top 100. Still, you're poont is a good one, I can't see him playing both.

    He was on my IMA team and he was incredible. Craig Chambers could also ball out.

    Edit, Another funny ET story:

    There is/was a beerleague sports thing called "Underdog Sports" in Seattle. I dont know if they still do it, but they had a flag football tournament called the "Rain Bowl" that used to be played in the Clink. Long story short, ET was our QB and we were immediately kicked out of the tournament after our first blowout victory. The other teams complained after he just let the rush come and juked all 9 guys untouched every time he had the ball for TD's. People don't understand how athletic 5* D-1 athletes are, honestly.

    The best part of the story is that half the people there were calling him "Isaiah" the whole time. So, the point of the story is that ET is the original String. I think I mentioned that before, but never told the story behind it. I wish @Dennis_DeYoung would bring back his old recruiting breakdowns because I have some pretty funny stories about that era of guys.
    I lived the old, rich, and white version of your story when Zane Potter joined our IMA ultimate frisbee team. We sucked and ended up disbanding the team after a few weeks.
