That's pretty much all that is out there on him. He has unteachable size and length, but his highlights look to be against much smaller and inferior competition. He must have a big upside because his skills seem very raw.

Only played the game 3 years.

He's very Tariq Owensesque IMO, has a lot of potential, probably needs a redshirt year and still another 1-2 years before you get much from him. He's a good long term recruit, but not someone I would really expect this staff to pursue given the youth of Carmichael and McGhee, and the possibility of Izundu.

I dunno about the Tariq comparison. I'll need to see a few wide open missed dunks before agreeing with that assessment

Posted in the Rob Gray forum.. Jimmy Hyams said Rob Gray was "out of the picture", but noted that Al Pinkins and Chris Shumate were not going to join this staff unless something happened from here.

Yes, the competition is playing like middle schoolers. Aside from that, He's slow as molasses in the winter.

Not to argue the point, I read in the article Calban posted saying "he ran as quick the guards". His dad was a D-1 1,000 pt scorer and his sister was a WNBA 1st round pick. I get why they like his potential.

Thanks for the video. Only other video I could find was of him on the bench behind Thon Maker in an AAU game. Maker played the whole game so that video did not help at all. This one shows that he is long and raw. Might be worth a risk to take. I also like the kid who asking for his release from Charlotte. Izundu is very athletic.

Hey AuntieDee has Jabari mentioned anything about the Bonds kid that walked on from Liberty, I believed he was a teammate of the Blackwell kid from CPA but I haven't found much on him

He's still there and working out. The remaining players seem to be content for now. They are bonding well with Lanier. Well, I should say Jabari is. He speaks highly of Lanier. Says he's "cool". :cool:

Hey BTO, any idea when we could see some commits come down? Also it seems Eric Davis may or may not stay at Texas. Thoughts there as well. Thanks

Davis spoke with Shaka and appears to want to stay at Texas, things could change, but for now that one appears dead
