What about Reggie Smith? Has he actually signed? There have never been any write ups on him.
Yeah, he signed a while back I believe. Have to admit, it really Mbao looks like the odd man out, and has for a while.
Could he be a combination of DeJuan Blair, Big Baby Davis, Al Horford, and Charles Barkley? By that I mean all the best aspects of each of those players combined into one?
Scout lists him as 6'9 and 305 pounds? 305? I realize that article has him at 280. Big difference.

His HS coach puts him at 280 now as well after changing his diet and conditioning. He was all the way up at 325 as a sophomore!
how about the next Damon Key. I would be ecstatic with that.
Wait a minute...we got a big? Where's that Willie guy?Right here! OK, he is a big and I sure hope he works out. I will take 6'9" and 280 if he can run the floor half ass decently and be a space eater down low and he rebounds. Two big time concerns--
Todd Rosiak on jsonline is reporting from a source within the program that one of our six recruits will attend a prep school, but didn't know which one. Gardner or Reggie Smith seem most likely.It would have to be a fall signee who is going to prep school. They would not sign Gradner, if he was going to prep as the LOI would be meaningless. So we are losing either Smith, Jones or Blue. Now it will be interesting to see if Buzz is done recruiting. He said after the other players signed he wanted add one, maybe two more. I love the nickname "Big Ox".

IWB says his nickname is either Ox, or Big Self. But not Big Ox!

Body type... I would say Burke. Hopefully the skill set is better.
Reminds me of that kid from Texas

I hope Buzz whips that kids into shape. I don't know if he will be able to play fast tempo.
Hahn? Hahn's at 250 and working on adding still more muscle.
Right here! OK, he is a big and I sure hope he works out. I will take 6'9" and 280 if he can run the floor half ass decently and be a space eater down low and he rebounds. Two big time concerns--
1. Can we get him--we have no scholies available? Somebody has to be out!
2. The last time we recruited a guy similar, Lloyd Moore, he was a big bust. Hopefully Gardner is motivated. Moore was rated much higher
I do love the idea of a two headed monster of Otule and this guy--we should not be dominated in the paint!
Too late. I think Big Ox will stay.
Damon was one guy that hadn't occurred to me, but the comparison seems quite a good one. Remember Damon started over McIlvaine their freshmen years. Mac did start the year slow after having to be checked out for several concussions he got in preseason practice.
Maybe the interest in Hahn is as a true center (like McIlvaine) while Gardner plays the four. Playing those guys together, would really make the perimeter competition intense. But if those two did play together, I think that it would be limited to a few teams for whom a little extra muscle in the mix would be called for.
