IMO, don't look promising. They're all athletic for sure. Cronin likes that and gives him a lot to work with in terms of integrating all of them into his defensive schemes. Obviously Booker represents the most potential, but right now that's all it is. He has the high school reputation and all the physical tools to be an outstanding player and specifically perhaps an outstanding college post player but has yet been able to put any of that potential into fruition. We'll see. Fingers crossed but not holding my breath.
The other two just don't have the high level D1 resume even on a minor level. Jamerson has shown some life on a bad mid major level team, and Peoples even less on an even lower level of play. Right now IMO all of this is really just on a level of hopeful wishful thinking without much solid evidence to even justify that thinking.
Maybe this will work out and Booker will become the player everyone is hoping for. And Jamerson and Peoples will turn out to be at the very least serviceable and maybe even more at the 5 giving Booker some rest and Cronin some flexibility. But to me right now all of this just looks precarious at best and a big disappointment waiting to happen. I hope I'm wrong.
