can play at this level and be effective. You add a kid like MPJ and it changes the entire dynamic of the team, while taking the pressure off the other guys. All-in-all, the team will play better. CM is a solid bench coach, too.
MPJ is NBA-ready right now. #1 overall pick probably. He's as good as anyone we've had as a SR and yes, includes Stipo, Sunny, Peeler, etc.
If Tilmon qualifies, you add another 5-star. No, not one and done, but better than any post we have on the roster and who's the last 5-star post we got? That spot instantly improves and you have Nikko and Smith a year older.
If Jontay comes, then you have arguably the (2) best HS players on your roster (I firmly believe Jontay would be a top 3 guy if he stays at Tolton), a 3rd 5-star, (2) other touted FR and the remainder of the roster I mentioned above. That's a deep-run NCAA roster there, brother.
