SF? Maybe at the NBA level. Seems likely to be a 4 in college.

I always liked him better as a tall, lean prospect than Jordan Mitchell, but I've never seen anything from Gaffney's game that made me think he was a can't-miss. Kind of like Carlton Bragg, I guess. Nice measurables, comes from a winning program, has the skills, just seems to coast a lot. Won't get away with it in college like he can in HS. The potential is obvious, though.

Corey Evans reports Holtmann was watching Gaffney this afternoon.

Watched his film a few months ago, for whatever reason, I had it in my head that he was an 18' recruit, so I was wondering why no one was talking about the kid, anyway his upside seems to be enormous he has a lot of tools that can be developed stroke looks pretty pure so shooting won't be a problem, great wingspan, about the only issue I see is his motor, he may have something in common with Marc Loving

Reports tonight he got an offer from Kansas. He is blowing up - looks somewhat similar to - and about as good as - Bazley, even a year behind.

Reminds me a lot of Bragg.

lol, Gaffney looks like he's getting his picture taken with his least favorite player ever.

 

[Egger33]

The way he exploded on the AAU circuit this summer and started getting high D1 offers, I think it's fair to say he will be Holtmanns first must get Ohio player.

Holtmann didn't have a great chance on the '18 class of Ohio players but will have full time with '19 and on.

Standing next to a guy who signed a 70-million dollar contract to play a game last year just isn't as impressive as it used to be.

gaffney is going to look really good when he's suited up in red...


as he plays for louisville. then again, it could end up being a shade of blue.
