Recruiting

I don't think Bailey is that tall, but you are right about his style of play.

Eke could be a wiry center type, and that works in college basketball at times, but he is pretty damn skinny.

I know absolutely nothing about our chances with Epperson, but I have a hunch that since we didn't land him early, it will be real hard to land him late.

Eke is probably 215-220 pounds right now with broad shoulders.  Not exactly skinny.

Thanks Ted.  Love the length.

At positions 2 through 4 the first 2 off the bench this year are Sam and Duane.  Next year Sam will start and I could envision Sandy in that role along with a big like John.  Love his D and willingness to do the dirty work. And Sacar the year after that pending recruiting.

There is something to work with here. He is quick off his feet and seems to have a nose for the ball and is always got himself position well around the rim, with great legs and lift off his feet.

MU has some guys who have slow and lead feet around the basket. From what I see here, this is the first thing that catches my eye. And he runs the court well and is long limbed.

Another thing is he has good hands and can catch the darn ball in traffic it seems. But his shoulders and upper body suggest that he can carry some more weight.

But he does not need more than another 10lbs bulk or muscle to add and then allow himself to fill out naturally. If he had a jumper I would like him in body type to Jamil Wilson. But Jamil was not as aggressive as this young man seems to be attacking the rim and working around contact or he would be in the NBA right now....

I like him. He looks like the type of kid that has a work ethic too.
