2024 Luke Skaljac [Miami Commit]

Late arrival to this topic. My inlaws lived in Lincolnton, NC and coming down Interstate 77 would get off on SR 150 and cross Lake Norman before we’d get to Davidson. In 50+ years never realized Davidson was there.
In any case, for the uninformed, the Chinese situation in these parts of North Carolina is average at best.
What all you damn yankees need to try is a fish house or a BBQ joint. Big Daddy’s is regionally famous used to be on SR 150. Had a race car on the roof and softball field in the back. Daddy’s had a near semi-pro softball team that was famous. Fried everything…flounder, catfish, oysters, shrimp, Hush Puppies and Carolina style cole slaw. Really fresh, only about three hours from the Atlantic, giant portions and and lots of calories! If you’re ever down in the area make sure you give it a try.

Love that area of the country. Always stop and stay on the way to Charleston/Isle of the Palms. Thanks for the recommendation. And definitely try Kindred, which is across the street from Davidson.

It’s looking like nearby Huntersville is the real foodie town.

Do we like our chances here? How are we feeling?

Certainly like our chances with this group. My concern would be a bigger program swooping in. He will continue to get good reviews when his high school season starts.

My understanding is both his parents are Miami grads. A doctor and a lawyer. Hopefully that is a factor in his decision, in a good way!

Saw him ranked as the #1 PG and #5 overall in Ohio. Huge pickup for the class of '24.

Yellow - do we go with Luke Skywalker now? Or do we show respect to David Thompson and defer?

I see 2 point guard lineups in our future, maybe for several seasons (Dean, Isparo, Cooper, Skaljac)

For sure we will often have two of those guys on the floor at the same time. Too talented not to, plus situationally there are times you want all of your best ball handlers and free throw shooters on the court, or if behind you might want several of those guys for a pressing defense.
