I think (and many recruiting gurus seem to as well) that his potential is higher
But what his actual skillset is in 2025-26 when playing for BYU is TBD. In the game I watched, and what I’ve heard others comment about times they’ve seen him play, he didn’t dominate even at the HS level (albeit an elite HS level). He had some flashy plays that were fun. He got his points (~20-25 I’d assume). His defense was great. His rebound was great. But his mid range pull-up shot wasn’t great and when he tried ISO and drove (which wasn’t very frequently) he was typically fouled or travelled but didn’t make many of his points that way—certainly didn’t ‘dominate’ the guy defending him by scoring nearly at will.

I’m not saying I’m not still excited about him or that he won’t be everything the scouts are saying he could become. I’m just saying, that for 2025-26 season at BYU he may not be this dominant force that will lead BYU to the promised land by his own will and force.
