We don't know at this point how many scholarships we will have for next year. We know we have two more for sure. We also don't know how recruiting will shake out. My personal preference is a high level transfer because DU can not afford to "miss" at this position (not say a transfer can't be a bust, but a proven high level transfer is less of a risk). However, this kid may just be an under the radar gem. I am trusting KD on this one. He has surely had experience in finding diamonds.
It is interesting that before this kid broke his arm he was also getting D1 interest to play football. At one point he was considering playing both sports in college. I like the toughness football players bring to basketball This is what one recruiting analyst has to say about him:
6"’2”PG Amir Spears (Mt. Zion)Spears was a joy to watch in both of Mt. Zion’s games, leading them to a win over Fork Union and then helping them in a close contest with IMG. He averaged 13.5 PPG, 5.5 APG, and 3 SPG for the weekend. He was locked in from start to finish in the matchups and used his quickness extremely well both offensively & defensively. He can be a pest on the ball by turning offensive players & picking their pockets, but also plays passing lanes well with anticipation and quick reactions. His quickness makes him hard to keep in front when he has the ball too, he’s unselfish and makes slick, timely passes to teammates. The lefty gets defenders on their heels and did as good of a job as anyone in the event at getting to his pull-up jumpers. He looked to insert himself into as many plays as possible and brought energy to the team that was contagious. There’s hardly anything out there on him; if a program does some more digging, they could pick up a hidden gem".

He’s arguably the state’s best basketball player. Now he’s just as dominant on the football field - and might be taking his talents to the gridiron in college, too. - Hartford Courant
