Looks smooth and multi-dimensional. Scores from anywhere on the floor. Could be a good find.

Videos always look great, right? Anyway, he is a fun kid to watch play. Seems to have really good basketball instincts. Quick first step, and nice release on his shot. Wouldn't be surprised if he is offered on same day of his visit.

Looks like a player similar to Alex Matthews only seems to have a better outside shot. Appears to be an excellent replacement for Noah only better.
Seems to me we are seeing what kind of players TL wants to mold into Aces of the future. Highlights are just what they are but I like what I see in this kid and the way he handles himself on the court. He’s a good student too which is important at UE.

I thought the same thing about the Alex and Chase comparison. Both appear to be heady players. It would be fun to see them on the court at the same time.
My biggest target for the Aces for this recruiting class is Sekou Sada Kelle. He is a legit inside force, who IMO, could be a four year starter. He is getting lots of offers.

This kid would definitely be a big get for Evansville with huge upside. I see where he received offers from Rutgers and UCLA two years ago and Western Kentucky was the other school that looks like it was on the bandwagon early. He is just two hours away in Louisville and originally from Mali. Certainly a force inside offensively and defensively. Looks like he has already visited Western Kentucky and Evansville, which is a good sign. His coach from a couple of years ago thought he could be top 5 in his 2021 class ad he was on the 5-star watch. Virginia Tech is interested now as well. From his Twitter account: “ jake lieberman @jakelieberman2 · Apr 25 Just spoke to Sekou Sada Kallé (@sadakalle) who is currently a junior. He has started receiving interest from #Vanderbilt, Cincy, #Xavier, Akron, and Eastern Kentucky. He has already visited Western Kentucky and Evansville. He plans on taking visits to Cincy, Xavier, and Akron.” |

It appears that Chase's family will be moving from Fort Myers, FL back to our area. His father, Josh Garrett, recently announced on Twitter that Chase will be attending South Spencer HS this fall. Josh was a standout athlete at South Spencer. Chase is now listed as a 6'5 combo guard who is drawing lots of mid major interest, including UE! Excellent student with a 3.5 GPA and 1100 SAT score.

Great news. Certainly increases Evansville’s chances for sure.
Sounds like he might be playing in the same conference as Blake Sisley. I know Heritage Hills and South Spencer used to be in the same conference.
Just curious, does anyone know how his game compares to Connor Hickman, who we were also recruiting? Are they the same type of player? There is a chance they could be matching up for four years in the MVC.

Are they the same type of player? There is a chance they could be matching up for four years in the MVC. Based on what you can tell from video - which is really all we have I would say this. Hickman is more athletic, better PG skills, and better range. However, Garrett has skills and I think he would be good here - I'd gladly take him. To me Garrett is more of a shooting guard and he does have more size - being about 6'5 and Hickman more of a point guard who can score. Good court vision. The good thing is both appear to be able to score from anywhere on the floor, which is nice. Both look comfortable shooting threes, pull ups mid rangers, and finishing at the rim. That's definitely a good thing. I think Garrett will take a little longer to adjust to MVC play based on what I see - where I could see Hickman playing a lot as a freshman. He's really a big, big get for Bradley, I think. Could be wrong but that's the way I see it.
Here are the videos I watched:

I think your observations are spot on Tom. I also believe that if Garrett can refine his ball handling skills and be a true guard, he could post up many smaller guards - much the way Colt did. Seeing how Garrett is moving into this area is a real advantage. Aces program is due for a few good breaks.
