Rasheer Fleming is a self-proclaimed “late bloomer,” but that doesn’t mean the work started recently. Nah, the 6-9 junior out at Saint Joseph’s has been grinding away at his craft since he was moving from Tennessee to Kentucky to New Jersey as a kid. Consistency has been the key no matter the scenario.
