Seems like a guy who would bring a new dimension while still having a high basketball IQ. Interesting trying to find information on him this year, since North Meck has a huge 2020 prospect on their team, and Ford does not score a ton of points. Also have not seen anything reported regarding his recruitment.

Has an offer from App St according to verbal commits and interest from Harvard according to the below:

Ford’s App offer came from Coach Fox, so not sure if it’s still valid.

North Meck has had a number of players recruited to D-1 programs over the last few seasons, including Tristan Maxwell who will be a freshman at Georgia Tech next fall, and Jaelyn Withers who I believe is currently redshirting at Louisville.

I’ve watched some of Ford’s highlights. Would be nice to grab a commitment from him before anyone else realizes how good he is/could become.

I think Creighton has a NMeck PG- Damien Mintz?

Interview with Chris Ford's high school coach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OyX8Ur5F7w

Does not talk too much about the players or their recruitment so I don't suggest watching. BUT, he does compare Chris Ford to two players: Draymond Green and... De'Mon Brooks

That’s right, I do recall now the Draymond comparisons.

A senior at my high school in Belmont has signed his LOI to play football at UNC. When I saw pictures of the event, I discovered that UNC is copying the "It's a 40-year decision, not a 4-year decision" mantra

Then there are the players for whom it is not even a four-year decision.

Given that the average life expectancy of football players in the NFL is 53-59, "a 40-year decision" seems cruelly optimistic.

There are plenty of basketball experts who would look at Draymond's height and conclude that he is too small to be an effective forward. Those experts are wrong. They'd also be wrong about Chris Ford. Shorter guys can be very effective at our level. Guys like De'Mon or Noah Dahlman or Kyle Hines or Willis Hall. And they can be effective at a considerably higher level, like Grant Williams at Tennessee. Local kids Willis Hall and Grant Williams would have really helped Davidson. I hope Chris Ford gets the chance.

Don't even need to look outside this A-10 season to find good examples. Marcus Weathers and Trey Landers are two of the best forwards in the league this year, both listed at 6'5".
