I think we make exceptions for 6'5" guys that are 5 star top 20 players.   ;D

But he just turned 17, he could grow 5 inches by the time he verbals to Marquette. Buzz's first legit big!

How many people does Crean compare to D Wade do you think?

Right on Malone - Just copied and pasted this from the article, and had the same thought.

As the article states: "Indiana's Tom Crean compares him to Dwyane Wade, and Buzz Williams of Marquette has worked hard at staying in touch."  Once again, style versus substance (or Crean vs. Buzz) - stylish to compare him to D-Wade (Crean), substance (Buzz) working hard to stay in touch.

What r the chances of getting  this stud? And for the people who say this kid is too small, would you rather have him or a Otule? I thought so.

teal font means sarcasm. 

Those are some big name teams after him, so MU probably will have a hard time.  You never know though I guess. 

Buzz can sell playing time with Jimmy leaving and Crowder and DJO gone by the time this kid is a soph.  He sounds like a humble kid whose personality would fit well with Buzz and the team. 

I think that a swing man to replace Jimmy is ideal for 2011.  Then replace Fulce with a big, and then replace Buycks with a big to balance out the team better.  Probably good at the 1 with Blue, Cadougan, and Smith for a while.
