What they’re saying
“I talk with Coach Keem [Akeem Miskdeen] all the time. The campus is nice, and the facilities. They have multiple practice gyms and multiple facilities for the basketball team. When I went up there, the training room and everything were getting redone. They like to have one really good playmaker and then get a lot of good wings to fit around them, like Yaxel (Lendeborg). And they get a good big man every time. So just giving their guards the freedom to make reads and play off-ball screens.”
