Did he under perform in HS? Let's see. He played in one of the toughest leagues in the nation. The Seattle metro league. He started all 4 years and was the winningest HS player in Washington state history. His team was ranked top 20 in the nation all 4 tears and when his team played payton pritchards team, Jashaun lead his team to a win in a game that was slated oregon state champs vs Washington state champs. He won state twice and placed 3rd twice. He beat Zach lavines team, Dejaunte Murray's team as the starting point guard. You see basketball isn't just about stats. As a point guard it's more important to be a winner. And all the NBA players who have came out of Seattle, Jashaun was the winningest. Also, every starter on his team went division one with one Jaylen nowell going to the NBA a 6ft 5 shooting guard. Jahsaun was all metro 1st team two years in a row and lead the state in steals and assist 3 years. Why did he chose LIU when he had offers from several others schools including pacific, Portland, San Diego, & south Florida? Because that's where his family is from. Brooklyn New York. He wanted to go to a mid major and while there he started all 4 years. He lead his team to the NCAA tournament, and made the all rookie team. He was also mid major player of the year. As many TV announcers proclaimed when he played bigger schools like Texas tech or San Francisco, he had the tightest handle and was the quickest player in all of college basketball. If you notice, he averaged between 10 & 15 points a game every season from high school to college. He's a point guard and does what is needed to win games. He was the 1st TH-cam sensation & inspired thousands of young basketball players and currently trains pros. And stays ready. He had many offers to play over seas & g league. Because of covid, he has stayed low key and enjoys training. He was just on the Ellen show again and has a bright future in what ever he decides to do. And in Washington state, he is a living legend just based on his HS career. What's funny is the goal the entire time from when he was 8 years old was to play college ball and get a 4 year degree. Of course all kids dream of playing in the NBA. But Jashaun was never over hyped. At nation camps in 7th & 8th grade he would rank higher than players who currently play in the NBA. Why? Because he was better at that time. But size definitely plays a huge part. And it's not a matter of if Jashaun is good enough to play in the NBA. He is living his best life and doing what he wants now as a young man.
Give me a dad /family who puts high expectations on me any day and I'll take that over parents who just want you to be average or don't care. NBA isn't the end all be all. Sports isn't the only way to measure success or failures for black people. Graduating with a college degree and being an stand up individual that you and your family is proud of is a success story and should be celebrated more. 💯
The bottom line is just let kids be kids. Overhyping kids can give them false expectations and onlookers a false sense of reality that they may or may not live up to.
Maybe but the hype works. Remember when Dwight Howard was the shit, only to fall off real quick as soon as he left Orlando. You can totally pump a guy up. They've been doing the same thing with Ben Simmons, put them in a position to look good. Get these "not worthy of being an all star" caliber type players into the hall of fame before anyone realizes it was all hype.
@@lilcourtny08 I agree he may have not been Dwight of old but he was still putting up decent numbers as a role player. Plus that back injury set him back.
Stop thinking that these little kids with advanced handles (especially stand still NON-ingame dribbling DRILLS) at an early age are automatically prodigies. It’s a great head start but it’s a long journey and a lot of variables.
Funny thing is Ben Simmons still has time to develop a decent jumpshot if were to put in the time & effort. He literally has all the best resources to do so. There's really no excuse for him to be such a poor shooter & be in the NBA 🤔
He was a very good player in the NEC, beautiful shooting stroke, lightning quick. He was a good college player, no bust here. He was the first kid who got exposure on the internet, not his fault.
He got a scholarship. That's great. Very few become NBA players. He's like 98% of college players. Look at MOPS and stars on national champions. Mateen Cleaves. Ed O'Bannon. Scott May. Sean May. Jack Givens. Nolan Smith. Forgettable NBA careers. Nothing strange about him being an average DI player. His kids will one day be amazed that he received so much press as a little boy.
Something that most of the kids labeled as prodigies have in common is a focus on the flashy skills and a lack of real fundamentals. They learn to have an amazing handle because that gets TH-cam views, but they don't know how to pass or how to get open looks without crossing over someone.
@@tellyshonestreviews1293 I'm saying "overhyping" and calling a kid a "prodigy" are things that adults do. Then when adult projections are wrong we start talking about the kid like he did something wrong.
Agosto had the tools to be a prodigy but him being 5'7 listed at 5'10 then 6'0 but he's really close to 5'7 he didn't catch the height gene to win the genetics lottery. Plus a inconsistent shooter.. if only he would grown to 6'1

I know you don't use size/genetics as a stunted growth BUT unfortunately, it is. If genetics are not on your side, ESPECIALLY in basketball, you are in trouble. IF a kid has skills in the 6th grade and DOESN'T grow, he MAY be the greatest 6th grader of ALL TIME. But that MAY be his/her ceiling. NO amount of hard work is going to make him/her grow taller. If you ready you don't have to get ready. MOST people think because Steph AND Seth Curry are smaller than MOST NBA players, they just got good. Hardwork put them over the top, BUT BOTH of their parents were collegiate athletes and Dell was a solid NBA player. The Curry brothers were around NBA drills/training AND they worked hard. Some parents see their kid make a few jump shots and think he is NBA bound UNTIL he doesn't grow. GREAT work and GREAT series.
Yea bro if I can piggy back on your comment, both the curry bro’s are taller than 6’1. Mix that with the other things you mentioned and BAM you got a NBA baller
God bless you brother, you dont know it yet but you're about to blow up💯🙏🏾 remember this by next year youll be in a different place.. you have what it takes
Something else I think might have stunted his growth was that he was older than his competition. Jashaun graduated C/o 2016 but he was born January ‘97 so he turned 19 during his senior year. I feel like this probably hurt his stock with scouts
One thing that needs to be stated however, is Jashaun is ridiculously skilled, quick and athletic. He's everythig he was touted to be. The only thing missing is opportunity. Most of these #1 picks he played against them coming up and did well against them, he just didn't hit the genetics jackpot like they did. From all indications, he's intelligent and a well adjusted young man. That said, dude can ball. If he's lacking anything, it's unselfishness to a fault. This is a good video series. I like how it highlights the realities of the game, hype and expectations.
so basically he was just a young kid who could dribble well. never actually any elite talent to dominate in competition. the internet created an entirely false narrative- pretty much what it does.
Garfield was always stacked nobody averaged a bunch of points cuz in his years they would blow gems spit and score a lot of him getting steals and passing it up for a dunk. He could average 20 being the main guy on his team but that’s not what they needed from him he was a true pg. even 5 assists is a lot in high school
Y’all need to start looking at the genetics of these “prodigies”.. I don’t care how good they can dribble. If they parents not even 6 feet... chances are...
That's the fucked up part about the NBA...you know how many little niggas can ball but they only 5'7...its like you can make your dreams kid just pray to god you will grow to be over 6 feet....thank god my dream was to be a MLB player or Pro Wrestler...currently working on the Pro Wrestling right now...
For real, playing varsity all 4 years at Garfield means you are an elite hooper, especially in the era he played in. You can probably count on two hands the amount of people who have done that in the past 20 years. I don’t think Brandon Roy played varsity as a freshmen. Players develop at different rates and have different ceilings is the moral if the story but these people saying he was a fraud like Julian are trippin’.
He played for Garfield which is a powerhouse in Seattle Washington!! He played with Jalen Nowell that plays for MN timber wolves !! Easton at LSU right now def a top20 pick! Brandon Roy Will Conroy Tony Wroten Jr All made it to the league . Seattle def top5 in producing NBA players
Jashaun was an inspiration to me as a kid. I still go back and watch the original vid sometimes just to remember the motivation it gave me. Best of luck to him
The truest comment, lavar had this dream to have super athletic and gifted children. He chose a long legged tall athletic woman first and foremost.two tall people you are going to have extra tall children....even the girls.
A note on Agosto's High School numbers, they were not normal as the narrator says, 13ppg and 10ppg Jr and Sr are above average. Definitely not outstanding, but better than most guys that play HS ball and enough to get a scholarship. Jashaun AND his dad won the game by him playing college ball and getting a free degree. Never made it to the NBA but so what, 99% of HS players would take his outcome, only that 1% should ever be thinking about the NBA.
His numbers would be better on team that wasn’t so stacked if you look back on his team on his senior year 7 kids went D1 off that team that’s big time and now one of them are in the NBA that’s Jaylen Nowell
Just like parents that hype up there second grader because they average A's and B's but later in HS or College is a average student...let the little kids become teenagers and develop themseleves before hyping them up and they only like 10....mentally they only know how to workout with their safe zone which is the parent or parents....not numerous different coaches....thats why when I have my own kids all im a do is teach them the fundamentals but my voice is never louder than the coaches and rivals they will experience later in life... Adversity is what most of these 'prodigies' arnt used to because they always protected instead of naturally letting the kid grow and hone his/her skills.
I wudnt say his growth was stunted honestly. he was just a average basketball player as he got older. But because of his skills at 10 yrs old it was rare to see a kid that advanced in “2007” w that said if it wasn’t for that he wouldn’t have got offers etc. and graduating college,that’s a blessing. Everyone doesn’t make it to the big league, and w all the hype instead of letting it consume him he should’ve wrked harder to prove it. This shit is earned not awarded. But big ups to bro, still got the dub in the end. Hope he continues to strive for gr8ness💪🏽🐐
“Giving them titles that create unfair expectations”, indeed. And when they’re not met, the people who put these titles blame the people they put it on as to why they didn’t pan out like planned. And the worst part is that this cycle is nowhere near over! Sooner or later another “prodigy” will come along and the cycle starts all over again!
You should do one on that 8 year old kid back in 94 that flew the plane across the country solo, Killian something. He was a pilot prodigy and a girl died trying to break his record. Love this channel fam, keep it up💯💯💯
This is why I respect Lavar Ball, he knew to ensure his kids grew over 6'4 that the mom had to be over 5'11... You trying to raise a young prodigy have kids with women no more than 4 inches shorter than you if you're over 6'0.. If you're 6'3 then wifey should be between 5'9-6'0.. Don't go get a woman 5'1 and you 6'1, the chances your son is 6'3 and above is very slim.. may happen but the chances are he'll be 5'10 at the most..
I'm sorry but this guy was a bust and it's his parents fault. Jashaun should not have continued basketball at a young age when he was absolutely dominate in the world of track and field. Watch his track and field races and you'll know what I mean.
*said this then and I say this now making kids working out in their childhood regardless of sport or just weight lifting PHYSICALLY STUNTS GROWTH!!! I’ve seen it growing up as a kid. You have to Waite till highschool for the rigorous training/workouts. Children could play sports nothing wrong with that but as long as it’s just for fun and not serious. Just look at gymnastics for example. Majority if not all kids who join gymnastics early as prepubescent children and stick with it well into their teenage years or adult hood are short you even hear it in their voice. But the ones who start past puberty or during their early teens don’t have that problem. Let children be children. If you really want a child to be introduced in something anything you as the parent have to show a lot of interest in it. Whenever your child is around your talking about it or doing whatever it is but not paying too much attention to the child. Like basketball let your child watch you play a lot of basketball either by yourself or with other adults, watch basketball games constantly but don’t let the child get too involved. You have to use reverse psychology children love imitating parents and older siblings. They will show interest in whatever you’re interested in especially if you tell them not to do something that they have seen you so dozen of times. Then leave the ball for them to play with they’ll pick it up try to immolate you while watching for your approval. Then you start playing with them but only play nothing serious until they have hit puberty that’s when practice can be tied with your approval but still you don’t push until highschool. Like I said children like to do the opposite of what you tell them by nature it’s normal. When you push you lose them. Michael Jordan was never pushed to play basketball no one expected him to make anything of himself especially not in sports it gave him drive. Well into his adult hood he had a chip on his shoulder. But when you push they eventually fall out of love and it’s not fun anymore. Anyway I’m glad agosto didn’t burn out like most children do in his position and he actually went off to finish college. Yeah most children prodigy burnout end up in drugs or suicidal go look up what happened to most of those wiz kids from the past smh*
@@stuntedgrowth can't even lie I followed his story and watched that original video of him when he was 10 back around that time and agree with you for the most part. But one thing I believe people use as an excuse for alot of players although it's the most plausible reason why some players don't make it, is size. One person I'll say who's of comparable size, maybe even smaller, around his time who could've had the same excuse was Tyler Ulis. Now Ulis was no freak athlete like Nate Robinson or high level scorer like Isaiah Thomas but still overcame his lack of size. I just think ultimately Jashaun Agosto was not put in position to succeed as Tyler Ulis, from high school to college. I know those miniature players that make the league are rare but there couldn't be a better example of someone whose size could've prevented them from making it to the league. Now size may have hurt Ulis in the long run but he reached a level many his size didn't.
@@JayTheRealest1 he was the no.1 rated freshman in the same class as Trier.. went to Ohio State initially. Never got better after his freshman year..played HS with Julius Randle
@@gallonthegreat7036 BIG FACT!!! Joakim was a potential superstar with the Bulls and was slightly at the tip of his prime. Went back home to NY and started bull shitting!!! 🤦🏾♂️
It really sucks that if you ain't about 6 feet your hopes and dreams to the NBA are null and void....dont say Nate or Isaiah they are rare a lucky bread NBA players...the average man below 5'10 is not making the NBA
I'm not a fan of spotlight on kids. I think I'm not a fan of the spotlight in general :p But pushing yourself, setting extraordinary goals at a young age, challenging yourself to succeed no matter how low the odds, and falling flat from large peaks, those are all good things that are character building. In one way or another, Jashaun will be better off for his experiences, the good and the bad. If he puts in as much work on his shooting as he did on his dribbling as a kid, I think he'll eventually get a shot at the NBA. Depends on how bad he wants it. Is he willing to wake up at 4 am and do two 4 hour shooting drills per day? I'm not saying that's what he needs to do, but that's what he needs to be willing to do.
We have this same exact issue in the minor hockey world. Parents are so savage on their kids. So much pressure. We have what you call the bantam draft. look it up. Basically we are drafting the top bantam boys players to major junior hockey teams. At the age of 14 yrs old. It's insane. Can ruin a kid. Has ruined kids. You stop growing or your skill set doesnt develope and adapt as quick as you need it to it ruins the athlete. To young. At 17 you can see more potential for the future. 14 or this crap 8 yrs old. One Tiger Woods guys. Literally play golf before he could talk
Seems to me that the video that brought him into prominence was a win win. If my dad labelled me a prodigy and iat 10 and it got me free ice cream and free college, thanks dad!
Anyone that gets free University education has accomplished something big IMO. He could probably still play in a European country or NZ/Australia but for his size you really need to be a lights out shooter esp from 3
Do my folks tony Chennault from philly he was the top hs player in the country same class as kyrie, brandon knight, victor Oladipo etc. He won a chip with Villanova too
Not sure how it can be said this guy wasn't a bust. I'm tryna figure out what was his strong point. It wasn't shooting, scoring, defense or passing. He was literally just a guy.
I met Jashaun was he in the 6th grade. He was a good and very respectful kid. He worked hard on his game and he can play the game. I wished nothing but the best for him growing up but I knew it would end in college for him. He has a future no matter what he decides to do. I have nothing but the upmost respect for him. His sister Juanita, on the other hand, is a hooper as well I hope she makes it to a good D1 program.

The truest comment, lavar had this dream to have super athletic and gifted children. He chose a long legged tall athletic woman first and foremost.two tall people you are going to have extra tall children....even the girls.
A note on Agosto's High School numbers, they were not normal as the narrator says, 13ppg and 10ppg Jr and Sr are above average. Definitely not outstanding, but better than most guys that play HS ball and enough to get a scholarship. Jashaun AND his dad won the game by him playing college ball and getting a free degree. Never made it to the NBA but so what, 99% of HS players would take his outcome, only that 1% should ever be thinking about the NBA.
His numbers would be better on team that wasn’t so stacked if you look back on his team on his senior year 7 kids went D1 off that team that’s big time and now one of them are in the NBA that’s Jaylen Nowell
Just like parents that hype up there second grader because they average A's and B's but later in HS or College is a average student...let the little kids become teenagers and develop themseleves before hyping them up and they only like 10....mentally they only know how to workout with their safe zone which is the parent or parents....not numerous different coaches....thats why when I have my own kids all im a do is teach them the fundamentals but my voice is never louder than the coaches and rivals they will experience later in life... Adversity is what most of these 'prodigies' arnt used to because they always protected instead of naturally letting the kid grow and hone his/her skills.
The guy younger looks like Kawhai lol
I wudnt say his growth was stunted honestly. he was just a average basketball player as he got older. But because of his skills at 10 yrs old it was rare to see a kid that advanced in “2007” w that said if it wasn’t for that he wouldn’t have got offers etc. and graduating college,that’s a blessing. Everyone doesn’t make it to the big league, and w all the hype instead of letting it consume him he should’ve wrked harder to prove it. This shit is earned not awarded. But big ups to bro, still got the dub in the end. Hope he continues to strive for gr8ness💪🏽🐐
Allen Iverson... He was 5ft 11. Jashaun's problem is too much practice - Allen
He may have stopped working as hard as he started getting older
I definitely appreciate this series
“Giving them titles that create unfair expectations”, indeed. And when they’re not met, the people who put these titles blame the people they put it on as to why they didn’t pan out like planned. And the worst part is that this cycle is nowhere near over! Sooner or later another “prodigy” will come along and the cycle starts all over again!
Facts!
Keep going, this channel is going places, you one of the hardest working content creators out here.
Why do you have to disrespect Africa like that with that profile picture?
@@thecensoredmuscle563 Why did your dad disrespect your mom like that?
Jordan McCabe!
Most people will say height
Plenty of short guys in league
He would have needed to bulk up and have his fundamentals and IQ downpat
Very true.
Like who
I believe that individuals who have nothing to offer need to find someone to look down upon. He didn't fail...you failed. Unhappy folks.
Please do a stunted growth on Ben Simmons! I've been asking and now after his playoff performance it's a must! Dude is a huge bust
Bro I did Ben already. Check it..
175 million dollars bust? Yeah right he got his money.
Funny
He needs a female thats taller than him, so his son can make it to the NBA.
You should do one on that 8 year old kid back in 94 that flew the plane across the country solo, Killian something. He was a pilot prodigy and a girl died trying to break his record. Love this channel fam, keep it up💯💯💯
Thon Maker might be a hell of An SG story JC !
Yeah, he and Khalea Turner. I believe they were AAU teammates before Thon went up to Canada.
Where is Thon at now? Last i remembered he was in Milwaukee, he ain't there NOW??....Crazy#!
This is why I respect Lavar Ball, he knew to ensure his kids grew over 6'4 that the mom had to be over 5'11... You trying to raise a young prodigy have kids with women no more than 4 inches shorter than you if you're over 6'0.. If you're 6'3 then wifey should be between 5'9-6'0.. Don't go get a woman 5'1 and you 6'1, the chances your son is 6'3 and above is very slim.. may happen but the chances are he'll be 5'10 at the most..
The best HS player of all time but unfortunately his life was cut short was Ben Wilson out of Chicago. He’s was legendary
Do a video on D. Wagner (Camden)
This is why u dont promote urself at a young age
I'm sorry but this guy was a bust and it's his parents fault. Jashaun should not have continued basketball at a young age when he was absolutely dominate in the world of track and field. Watch his track and field races and you'll know what I mean.
*said this then and I say this now making kids working out in their childhood regardless of sport or just weight lifting PHYSICALLY STUNTS GROWTH!!! I’ve seen it growing up as a kid. You have to Waite till highschool for the rigorous training/workouts. Children could play sports nothing wrong with that but as long as it’s just for fun and not serious. Just look at gymnastics for example. Majority if not all kids who join gymnastics early as prepubescent children and stick with it well into their teenage years or adult hood are short you even hear it in their voice. But the ones who start past puberty or during their early teens don’t have that problem. Let children be children. If you really want a child to be introduced in something anything you as the parent have to show a lot of interest in it. Whenever your child is around your talking about it or doing whatever it is but not paying too much attention to the child. Like basketball let your child watch you play a lot of basketball either by yourself or with other adults, watch basketball games constantly but don’t let the child get too involved. You have to use reverse psychology children love imitating parents and older siblings. They will show interest in whatever you’re interested in especially if you tell them not to do something that they have seen you so dozen of times. Then leave the ball for them to play with they’ll pick it up try to immolate you while watching for your approval. Then you start playing with them but only play nothing serious until they have hit puberty that’s when practice can be tied with your approval but still you don’t push until highschool. Like I said children like to do the opposite of what you tell them by nature it’s normal. When you push you lose them. Michael Jordan was never pushed to play basketball no one expected him to make anything of himself especially not in sports it gave him drive. Well into his adult hood he had a chip on his shoulder. But when you push they eventually fall out of love and it’s not fun anymore. Anyway I’m glad agosto didn’t burn out like most children do in his position and he actually went off to finish college. Yeah most children prodigy burnout end up in drugs or suicidal go look up what happened to most of those wiz kids from the past smh*
You the goat stunted growth 💯
💯
@@stuntedgrowth can't even lie I followed his story and watched that original video of him when he was 10 back around that time and agree with you for the most part. But one thing I believe people use as an excuse for alot of players although it's the most plausible reason why some players don't make it, is size. One person I'll say who's of comparable size, maybe even smaller, around his time who could've had the same excuse was Tyler Ulis. Now Ulis was no freak athlete like Nate Robinson or high level scorer like Isaiah Thomas but still overcame his lack of size. I just think ultimately Jashaun Agosto was not put in position to succeed as Tyler Ulis, from high school to college. I know those miniature players that make the league are rare but there couldn't be a better example of someone whose size could've prevented them from making it to the league. Now size may have hurt Ulis in the long run but he reached a level many his size didn't.
Jaylin Fleming would be a good one to do. He is around the same age and went viral too. Good kid from Chicago
Great he graduated i hope he go overseas 🏀💯 I concur you got to let your child live his/her childhood and grow
Howard Nathan man. Peoria illinois first Mr basketball. And played a stint in the NBA. Hoop dreams he was in that too
I met his father in 2017 in Seattle . He went D1 and the father was hopeful of him going to the nba
Never heard of em
And he like the best as a kid will I do not know about the adult you know like what I mean and he crazy smart but who here a prodigy like me and him
Great video Stunted Growth, I remember this kid when I was stationed in Washington State.
Great series and advice. Especially for parents that think they got the next great one coming up.
Sea guys you should do: #1 hoop legend Doug wren & #2 tony wroten.
Goat work! Great stuff!
Do marvin Williams
Do Mickey Mitchell 6’7 PG from Tx
*Who??*
@@JayTheRealest1 he was the no.1 rated freshman in the same class as Trier.. went to Ohio State initially. Never got better after his freshman year..played HS with Julius Randle
@@aaronhutchinson885 lol thank you
@@blakelip3 Yes sir. I coached at a came with all of that class. Fab freshman camp in Atlanta. Guys were gunning for Mickey and Trier all camp
@@aaronhutchinson885 lol I bet they were that class had some killas
Sad. He shouldn't have to live up to others expectations
3.8 spg is highly elite lvl; he was obvi a defensive genius
This video is great, and how's it going stunted growth?
WE NEED ONE OF JOAKIM NOAH IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY DO ONE ON HIM.
That nigga owe the New York Knicks all that bread back cause he robbed us....
@@gallonthegreat7036 BIG FACT!!! Joakim was a potential superstar with the Bulls and was slightly at the tip of his prime. Went back home to NY and started bull shitting!!! 🤦🏾♂️
Would love to see a vid on the Wildcat Kerry Kittles.
Think he did one on him
@@edwardoutlawjr8154 appreciate that, just watched it
I thought it was kinda sick to push that kid on the tube.
It really sucks that if you ain't about 6 feet your hopes and dreams to the NBA are null and void....dont say Nate or Isaiah they are rare a lucky bread NBA players...the average man below 5'10 is not making the NBA
Boston can use him this season
Black Ballers 🏀are A Dime A Dozen…
I'm not a fan of spotlight on kids. I think I'm not a fan of the spotlight in general :p But pushing yourself, setting extraordinary goals at a young age, challenging yourself to succeed no matter how low the odds, and falling flat from large peaks, those are all good things that are character building. In one way or another, Jashaun will be better off for his experiences, the good and the bad. If he puts in as much work on his shooting as he did on his dribbling as a kid, I think he'll eventually get a shot at the NBA. Depends on how bad he wants it. Is he willing to wake up at 4 am and do two 4 hour shooting drills per day? I'm not saying that's what he needs to do, but that's what he needs to be willing to do.
I remember this nigga he used to motivate me
We have this same exact issue in the minor hockey world. Parents are so savage on their kids. So much pressure. We have what you call the bantam draft. look it up. Basically we are drafting the top bantam boys players to major junior hockey teams. At the age of 14 yrs old. It's insane. Can ruin a kid. Has ruined kids. You stop growing or your skill set doesnt develope and adapt as quick as you need it to it ruins the athlete. To young. At 17 you can see more potential for the future. 14 or this crap 8 yrs old. One Tiger Woods guys. Literally play golf before he could talk
My brother actually played him 8th grade year in the adidas 64… He was so short… Had a big ass Center on his team tho…
what's your brothers name?
@@couldbeanyone8174 Aquil Burnett
My manz! Thanks for honoring my request. Now stunted growth music Young Jeezy? U my guy keep it up hommie🤜🏾🤛🏾
He should just play overseas
Boy I thought he was gonna be next
Seems to me that the video that brought him into prominence was a win win. If my dad labelled me a prodigy and iat 10 and it got me free ice cream and free college, thanks dad!
He turned into Kawhi Leonard
I knew he was coming soon! Appreciate the content man loving this series.
Another interesting topic would be on NY prodigy Shagari Alleyne. Keep the topics going my brother!! 💪🏾
Boa tarde congrats vai amém bom trabalho
Anyone that gets free University education has accomplished something big IMO. He could probably still play in a European country or NZ/Australia but for his size you really need to be a lights out shooter esp from 3
🙌🏿🙌🏿 Stay humble Stay Bless up within yourself 😎💯 Ballislife
Randolph Childress please
Do my folks tony Chennault from philly he was the top hs player in the country same class as kyrie, brandon knight, victor Oladipo etc. He won a chip with Villanova too
Not sure how it can be said this guy wasn't a bust. I'm tryna figure out what was his strong point. It wasn't shooting, scoring, defense or passing. He was literally just a guy.
Will I love him he motivated me
I met Jashaun was he in the 6th grade. He was a good and very respectful kid. He worked hard on his game and he can play the game. I wished nothing but the best for him growing up but I knew it would end in college for him. He has a future no matter what he decides to do. I have nothing but the upmost respect for him. His sister Juanita, on the other hand, is a hooper as well I hope she makes it to a good D1 program.
What? No, Andy Garcia from the Better Basketball videos?
Bronny James please
Hey I see you did Agosto and Damon Harge on your prodigy series. I think you should’ve done Jerron Love also.
