autan 737 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Looks amazingly smooth and athletic for a 7 footer. Hope he stays a 4*. Maybe the blue bloods will all get overrated 5* recruits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played some this year in KY and the coach said he had grown to 7'1". This will be a terrific addition. Welcome to the family Sage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPJ was widely regarded as the consensus #1 pick in the NBA draft for years up until literally minutes before the draft due to his back problem while it feels like almost nobody on the mainland knew who Sage was until like yesterday lol Edited October 16, 2020 by Tiger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see that comparison. But I'm not here to argue, agree to disagree sir! Either way I'm excited about this kid. We have never had this type of height on the floor under Bruce and the fact that teams will need to respect his 3 ball...I thought I was excited about this year but the next few years???? There's going to be some serious talent in the program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnMike86 43 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Coach Pearl and the staff are doing amazing on the recruiting front! I love Sage's game. He moves well, finish well, has a soft touch, he blocks efficiently and from what I saw he has a pretty good shot when given time. I really like this commit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,133 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I agree with all the good things people are saying about him. But Geez guys he is only 15 think how good he could be by the time he gets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,648 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Seems like the Chet Holmgren, Kai Sotto, Walker Kessler archetype Bruce has wanted for a couple seasons now. I'm not the biggest fan of that type compared to the 6'9-11 small ball 5s, but these light weight, slim jim, super skilled 7 footers are only becoming more desired so.... cant beat em join em! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin 3,305 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Quote McDonald's takeaways: RYZE Tip-Off Classic Isaiah Collier Dan McDonald • Basketball Recruiting Basketball Recruiting Analyst Emerson, GA -- The RYZE Hoops Tip Off Classic took over the Atlanta area this weekend at LakePoint Sports Champions Center with much of the top talent in the Southeast taking the floor. Dan McDonald recaps many of the standout performances from the event. Sage Tolentino committed early to Auburn, but we had yet to get a solid evaluation of him. After seeing him this weekend with TSF Mack, it’s clear he’s going to make a sizable move into the Rivals150 at the next update. The Hawaii native is a legit 7-footer with good mobility and skill. He’s a rim protector and tough on the boards. Adding strength will come in time, but he looks like a really strong early addition for Bruce Pearl’s staff. Scoot Henderson also took the court and showed the natural ability that makes him one of the top prospects in the 2022 class. He has elite athleticism, great size, and has added strength over the past several months. He’s also a much more consistent shooter now and one of the top playmakers around. Alabama, Auburn, Florida State and Georgia are among the schools firmly in the mix for the five-star prospect. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravejd 3,269 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I'd forgotten about this commitment. Good to remind ourselves that even while losing talented players we still have good ones lined up to join the team! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
