That pretty well sums up how I feel about him. He has the potential to be a really great player but it says a lot when a player his size with his skillset doesn't attract much interest from schools like Duke, UNC, UK, KU. He had offers from 2 of those but they didn't recruit him hard. I see his recruitment as similar to Lander - highly ranked but ignored by those blue bloods.

I'm not upset about missing on him, I don't think he'll come close to realizing his potential. Even when he exploded, it was in AAU ball and not high school. Not as much defense being played, less (or no?) scouting, teams aren't as cohesive, etc.
