Nice get. He was Rhode Island Gatorade Player of the Year this past season. Just watched a mixtape. I feel like his game is similar to Kier’s but can shoot the 3 quicker.

So the 2020 class is currently 2 point guards ?

 

[GMU1983]

No one point guard and one two guard

Thought so, are both combo guards or is Polite more a 2?

Seems like a great kid. What other A10 schools did we beat out for him?

It was between Mason, Holy Cross, Vermont and Elon....

Richmond & St Bonn according to verbal commits.

Seems like when DP is doing the main recruiting on a kid example Hartwell and Tyler now, he lands the 3 star PG. Its perplexing he cant do same for a solid big.

Welcome Tyler!

 

[Herndon]

Welcome Tyler. 2 years from now we can probably start to have a meaningful conversation about him.

That said, it's easy to look at him and think Lamar Butler.

 

[p8triotfan4life]

welcome Tyler! big fan of this signing! Polite and Kolek are essentially replacing Boyd and Kier.

I am pretty excited about a lefty that can shoot. Don't think him and Polite are essentially replacing Boyd and Kier though.... Please go get Malik Henry Dave!

 

[Mason32]

Polite and Kolek are essentially replacing Boyd and Kier.

Yikes

Sweet ness Kolek in the green and I believe the gold

Polite is the PG. Kolek is the combo. Puts Xavier into an interesting position too. Next year we’ll have Hartwell, Xavier, Polite and now Kolek. Lots of ball handlers on the roster.

 

[tblack33]

Appears to be deceptively athletic. I'm excited to see if we run him at the 1 or the 2. Hopefully he keeps that shot when he gets here.

Part of me still wants to scream roster management but I like this signing even if it doesn't address a pressing need we have.
