Gonna go ahead and say Kentucky lands him.
AND Jay-Z will be his agent @ UK and in the association
looks unstoppable.
Think his middle initial is "G"?
We could get him easy but we've already cooled on him.
What a ball hog
Re: Here's the big PG you all want
He seems to like to wear his jerseys untucked. Somebody send him a link to the Dani Pudi film. He's ours.
Here's the big EVERYBODY wants. I would like to say something like "he needs to be stronger with his left hand", but that is completely irrelevant. No one can stop his right. He certainly appears to be the real deal.

My ONLY concern with him is that with being that tall making those hard cuts and eurosteps can reek havoc on his knees. Not saying its a definite but it is a possibility. Other then that I can honestly say I dont think ive ever been as impressed at seeing someone at that skill level. He is going to be an absolute nightmare going forward as he continues to get stronger.

He actually had a left handed dunk in the vid. I would say that's not common for a right handed shooter. i.e. he proabbaly practices it.
We don't need another switchable. We need a big.
Holy crap.
OMG. He should not have to go to college.
Dude's got a handle better than Ox!
Article compares him to Durrant. Looks more like KG to me.
Not a single post-up highlight.
Pass.
Pass. We need point guards, not bigs.
The big that I want is still Diamond Stone.
If Thon Maker has an interest in MU, I'd be more than happy to see him, too.

Actually, I don't, but I was happy to post to video from their site for those here. From the responses in the thread, it looks like 85% to 95% had never seen the kid before. Happy to provide the service, free of charge.

As one who only sees a handful of local HS games most years, I appreciate it.
Also appraciate the insight of those who follow the circuit and share their info.

He'll end up at SMU.
And to think he's only a sophomore. Better than Greg Oden at that age. Don't laugh, that a huge compliment. People forget what a great talent Oden was.
Well, if he does go to Kentucky, he can play in the refurbished Rupp Arena for a mere $300 million.
