Watching Theo John’s high school tape is like watching an NBA player getting another year of college eligibility. There is no one who competes with him physically, athletically, or technically. He looks incredibly polished as a big man. He outjumps you, he outmuscles you, he outruns you, and he dunks all over you.
Marquette couldn’t have asked for anyone better than him to come in so college-ready as a player, because Marquette returns only one true big man in Matt Heldt, and adds only two more in Harry Froling (at winter break) and Ike Eke (a fellow freshman).
