Yall can complain ab him all you want but if he commits to IUBB woody will fix whatever needs to be fixed asap or he wont see the court. Dont see why you guys are all so frustrated. 

Oh for sure I agree with that.

If Woody rolls the dice in him I’ll be rooting hard for him to develop a real motor. The natural talent is there.

Watching the Cathedral and Westfield game and after 1 Westfield is up 17-14.  Booker has 9 on 3-4 from 3 and he sure is a good shooter.  Just not real aggressive on the boards or defense.

Westfield basically ran Cathedral out of the gym for a 74-63 win.  Trevor Andershock reported Booker with 12 pts and 2 reb with 9 of his points on 3-3s in the first quarter.  Cathedral got down by as many as 25 points before mounting a comeback effort all the while with Booker on the bench.  If the pace of this game was too much for him, hard to see him playing in the B1G.

Cathedral was supposed to play La Lumiere yesterday in the Max Jelks Invitational in northwest Indiana but LaLu canceled around 2 hours before tipoff.  Organizers were able to round up West Gary Lighthouse as an opponent but it was far from the same caliber of an opponent as Cathedral won 84-39.  Booker played just 18 min. scoring 13 pts. on 5-9 FG; 2-5 on 3s; 1-2 FT; 7 reb; 1 asst; 0 stl; 5 blk; 1 TO.  Score was 26-10 after the 1st Q and the game was effectively over.

Last night Cathedral over Mishawaka Marian 85-61.  Booker 23 pts. on 9-18 FG; 3-6 on 3s; 2-4 FT; 10 reb; 1 asst; 0 stl; 2 blk; 5 TO.  Marian had no one to match up with him in height.

Yuck....I know 23 and 10....but if they had no height to matchup and it took him 18 shots to get 23, plus he had 5 TOs....not good in my opinion

Yeah. He had no matchup at all. But, I will say this, his activity and engagement were better than they often are.

Are activity and engagement the biggest issues with him as a prospect? How does he project otherwise?

Easily the biggest issues. Physically, he’s a high major guy, no doubt. He needs skill development, which would be no big deal if the desire was obviously there.. But, you have to believe you can find his on switch. Right now it ain’t on.
