Look, I’m not making any evaluations until this roster is finalized. But, this guy leaving a program like St Joe’s in early December to me is a red flag. This just seems like a gamble considering how many other guys are in the portal. I hope we got this right! He is reported to be a very had worker looking to always improve, a leader is was respected by teammates and coaches as well as a great student. Maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout high school. Sources say he is a "high character" individual. |

Realize it's a HL video, but he looks good to me. Congrats to TA and the staff.

I get the concern over him leaving team. You guys can take this FWIW. I received a surprise DM from the #1 twitter site on Twitter. Told me he will be very very good at Iona. I asked about him leaving early, and my concern, especially with what happened with Gordon. Sounds like he was caught up in a numbers game. He was honest, said he wasn't a fan of a kid leaving early, but assured me he's an high IQ player and very high character and a really good kid. Very possible he felt it was best to leave the team and redshirt so he doesn't lose a year of eligibility, which is why he will have 3 years at Iona. That's good enough for me. This is nothing like the Gordon situation I’ll accept this but… |

Kid looks good. We now have 3 point guards, time to move on to 3, 4 and 5’s.

Agree to disagree. Gordon was playing his way into POY talk. He was a cancer that killed the season, and continues to be a cancer. Winborne was recruited over and did what he had to do to preserve a year of eligibility. Add the fact that those that know him from St. Joe's reached out on their own and said he's a good kid with a high character, tells me 2 completely different situations |

Not saying the same situation, but you can't say he was in a tough situation and fought threw it he quit. When Cluess had 2 pgs who didn't play much one left AFTER the season and one stayed and you guys called him a quitter. I'm not saying he won't be good for us but facts are facts |
