Seems to be a very impressive kid. We will need some help at the PG spot next year.

In case you guys missed it, Cutter is on the rise over on Rivals. He is now a 3 star! I know these don't mean a whole lot, but it means we aren't the only ones noticing his rise! From what I hear they are off on Richards still. Everyone who has seen him play say he is very underrated! Bodes well for the Sycamores future!

[BankShot]

Just think...when your bros. took over, we had a backcourt which included of Cutter, Holmstrom & Stinson...now the backcourt includes Kelly, Lathan & Odum.

Now that's called PROGRAM BUILDING.

[Daveinth]

Looking in Cutters season stats they go like this lead team in minutes played averageing 25.5 mins per game . shot a horrible 16 % from 3point land while shooting 40% overall. only shot 67 % from the line but he did lead the team with 168 assists . he did have 98 turnovers but if you compare this output to output of our guards he did a little better in these areas
