Supposedly very athletic, and can jump well.
Not much info on him.
Hey, Kevin McHale came from Minnesota.

Found a little tape on this kid, looks like an interesting prospect. Athletic for a 6'9" kid, has very nice form on his outside shot. He's listed as a SF, PF and even a SG depending on where you look. How nice would that be, a future backcourt of 6'4" and 6'9"? Question is, are we still on him? Anyway, here's some video...

He's definitely got some guard skills, handles well, can shoot it and shows a couple of nice passes in that video. I wonder if he was a guard at some point who had a growth spurt? He's also possibly not highly rated yet because he's buried somewhere in Minnesota. He looks like he has very good skills to me.

Looks pretty good in that video, reminded my of Jeremy Lamb a little bit.

Hmm, somehow I thought Cullen Russo would look more like
one of the Indiana kids. As Ramulous said, Irish-Italian.
Good looking athlete, though.
Kevin McHale came from Hibbings, MN.
The post by BFC in early October doesn't mention us at all.
