He was more of a power forward in the past and has transitioned into a small forward role that will suit him best in college with his plus size for position. Quality shooter with solid rotation and mechanics on his shot. Handles it well on his drives. Can go coast to coast in the open floor. Needs to get stronger to finish more consistently through bigger defenders. One to continue to track heading into the spring. We dove into his recruitment.
“Right now I am talking to Appalachian State, Davidson, and Southern Illinois came to a game, Yale, and a bunch of mid-majors.”
He mentioned three schools that are monitoring him the closest at this stage.
“I have been to Southern Illinois, Appalachian State, and I like Elon a lot.”
Mattingly dove into each of those three programs.
Elon
“I like the southern feel. They have a brand new complex and all their stuff is right there. It is really accessible to the players.”
Appalachian State
“It is down south and in a really nice area. I like the coaches a lot. I talked to the players and they were really nice.”
Southern Illinois
“My coach Coach Mullins his sons are there. I have a good relationship with them. I went down there for a visit. I liked it a lot down there.”
