I am pumped about this signing...Durley can come in and use his entire freshman season working with the coaches, training staff, and improve his game everyday in practice against O'Tule and Ox...

Who's O'Tule?

Rounds out a real nice class....combo guard in Taylor...off guard in Ferguson...switchable in S. Taylor and project big in Durley.  Solid, solid stuff.

Todd Warner is reporting that the Otule connection is at work as Durley's teammate at Fort Bend is #21 ranked Cameron Ridley

Ridley is committed to Texas.

"I just thought that Marquette was the best fit for me," said Durley. "They do a great job of developing big men and they have a very good program up there."

Durleys teammate is 5 star Cameron Ridley, #2 center and #21 prospect overall. Should get better everyday in practice

Yes, I didn't quote the tweet so it became misleading, although it is still technically a verbal commit until the signing period.  Ft. Bend Bush has a great big man legacy was my point.

Aaron, just grab some boards, alter a few shots and put the garbage back in the hole.

With that kind of size, he has a ton of potential.  Great signing.  Durley can learn some good defense from Otule for a year and good offense from Gardner for 2 years.....he's coming into a great environment to develop.

Great News!  Congrats to Buzz and staff, and welcome aboard Aaron!  Think Aaron fits real well with the rest of the class, and fills a big need (pun intended).  Will be great for Aaron to apprentice under Otule next season, and then hopefully as a sophomore, be ready to provide some good minutes.

No! What's with people always suggesting redshirts? You only get 12 scholarships so you don't want to waste one by having a healthy scholarship player on the bench in street clothes.

He's a two star on ESPN.Ranked 82 Class of 2012  Very big and strong, can score around basket 15 and in. Moves well,soft hands,not much of a vertical. Sounds kind of like Gardner but bigger.


I wouldn't worry about the 2-star.  They haven't updated that since Kansas State, Arizona and Texas A&M came in with late interest.  I think Buzz snuck another one out before he was discovered (see Gardner, DJO and Crowder)

There is no reason to redshirt unless they are injured or a transfer.  Man is this team going to be big...

There he is listed at 6'9 and 305.    As always with recruits, I wonder where the truth lies.

I am guessing part of the infatuation with redshirting is watching bo and the Badgers.  They try to redshirt all the frosh big's, Steimsma not withstanding.  Add to that, his freshman year MU will have Otule and Gardner at the 5 spot, and the question is about playing time.

I agree, if he is ready, he will play.  You are also correct, this team will be very big.

Gotta love that #5 on this list is named Wannah Bail. Oh, and #6 is a kid named Marcus Smart, and he attends Marcus High School -- must be pretty smart to have a school named after him.

Sorry ... I notice silly stuff like that.

I hope the kid develops and is known as a basketball player and not the tallest kid in Little League World Series history.

If gets playing time, will be a nice side story on the TV telecasts.

Bail was offered by Marquette, but haven't heard anything about him for awhile.  My guess is that the interest has waned considerably.

I love that we're adding size to our squad - something that, lately, we have not been used to.  I think he definitely falls under the category of a project as he lost a year of ball.  But the fact that he was all-state his soph year, in TX mind you, says something.  

Found some videos with Durley IN them, not necessarily featured:

Opposing players won't even be able to get into the lane when we have Durley and Gardner in together.
