Scouting Verdict

Former 4-star (n182) USC transfer sophomore with no production yet; high pedigree and portal value (OVR459) but unproven, developmental upside.

Ceiling · 8.2

Buried for now (Reserve) but young + talented — could win a role; significant upside (+4.5) · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 2.2

Unproven — wide downside if it doesn't translate; downside −1.5.
