Buzz checking out some bigs
Written by: noreply@blogger.com (muwarrior92)
A quick recruiting update. It appears per one recruiting site that Buzz Williams may have his eye on a few big men. Neither has been offered per the site, but often those sites lag for long periods of time to update activity. These recruiting sites are also notorious for not always having the best recruiting information, so please take with a grain of salt. It's a slow day and we're just passing some "big man" information along.
Keith Coleman (http://rivals.yahoo.com/jucojunction/basketball/recruiting/player-Keith-Coleman-117119), 6'9" 240lbs from Lee, Maine
Hooper Vint (http://rivals.yahoo.com/jucojunction/basketball/recruiting/player-Hooper-Vint-86823) 6'10" 190lbs from Van Buren, Arkansas

I have absolutely no updates or insider knowledge, but I was playing around online to see if there was anything new linking us to Keith Coleman and came across this gem from a Texas board:

With the decommittment of Deandre, I'm guessing Barnes will offer Jarion Henry out of Dallas. He's listed Oregon, USC, and Marquette as schools he's interested in. Supposedly USC is his favorite, but Texas hasn't offered.
Per Rivals, Keith Coleman out of Maine lists Texas as a choice. That dude looks like he would own the paint, and punch you for looking at it. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketb...Coleman-117119
Personally I thought it was hilarious and decided to share it with all of you...if you're going on the picture alone, this Texas dude's assessment looks spot on...
I cannot think of a better description of a big that I want wearing an MU uniform for 4 years. Awesome. Hope Buzz gets him!
You get suspended for throwing punches.
6'10'' and 190 lbs. Talk about wiry. He's gonna get tossed around like a rag doll.
I wonder how much mutual interest there is between Buzz and Coleman. He's been a name for quite some time, but I never really heard much.

I'd go for
any description that doesn't include the phrase "raw offensively".
From what I've read previously about Coleman, I'd hope that if we take him, he'd be a redshirt. Academically, a redshirt year would be a good idea for him , as well.

6ft 9 and 240. If he has hands and can grab the ball, that would be great. He even looks intimidating and alot older than 17. A big arse intimidator under the boards, nice......
It looks like Kevin Thomas committed to TX already.
Maine? The guy would have to get a tropical wardrobe for Milwaukee
Have heard grades are a major issue with Coleman and it isn't clear if he'll qualify.
