You have a point though. Maybe Adam wrote it in idk. I still want this kid. I just making an observation. I saw the kid play last summer in a rematch against one of the Baltimore AAU teams. The kid can go and more than anything he plays with passion. That "i hate to lose more than anything" passion....I hope Coach can close.....[/quote I agree.

Any real shot at Akinjo and/or Frink?

I would think so. Frink goes to visit South Carolina this weekend and hopefully visits us before weekend before deciding.

Is Miller really going to be able to rehabilitate his reputation, save his job and convince kids to commit to Arizona? I really thought he was all done at Arizona.

“It was good,” Montgomery said of the trip to Duke’s campus. “I met with the coaches and saw the gym. I watched the game and a practice.” While on campus, Montgomery had an opportunity to sit down with the coaching staff. Their conversations centered around how he would fit into their roster. “They were just talking to me about how I could fit in and come in and build something together,” Montgomery said. “Just that I come in and develop and those other guys would come in and we could be a great together,” he added. "Montgomery said Mike Krzyzewski compared their incoming class to last year’s NBA champions. “Just come in and just play freely in the pick roll game,” Montgomery said. “He compared it to the Golden State Warriors. “I love everything he was saying and he seems like a good guy and someone I could maybe play for one day,” he added. What stood out most about the visit? “Just the way they play their game,” he said. “They get the ball to their bigs. I like coach K and all the fans.” 247sports.com/Article/Five-star-EJ-Montgomery-recaps-Duke-unofficial-visit-115236721Dan McDonald @dmcdonaldrivals Recieved word that new #UGA head coach @tomcrean will be making a stop at Wheeler HS today to see 5-star 2018 big man EJ Montgomery

Serrel Smith, Ole Miss' top 2018 commitment, has not spoken regarding his future with the Rebels. After firing head coach Andy Kennedy two weeks ago, I would expect for the Ole Miss administration to keep Smith in tow until an official hiring is made. A prospect, the majority of the time, attends a college due to the relationship that he has built with a school’s coaching staff. With Kennedy no longer in Oxford after this season, Smith will likely want to take a step back and readdress the best options for his collegiate playing career. While he did sign his letter of intent in November, we have seen in the past how bad of a PR move it is when it comes to not releasing prospects without limitations. If Smith would ask for his release, he would immediately leap to the front of a number of recruiting boards as he is a talented shot-making guard that could impact a high-major program immediately due to his scoring abilities. Whomever the Ole Miss administration does name as its head coach, his top priority must be to keep its two 2018 signees, Smith and Anthony Higgs. More than likely, each will opt to reopen their recruitment and take another look around. basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/twitter-tuesday-what-s-next-for-shareef-o-neal-updates-on-carton-rameyEvan Daniels @evandaniels Kermit Davis will see former Ole Miss signee Serrel Smith today, per a source. He's also going to meet with 2018 forward Blake Hinson.

the only way to clear the get out of the scandal is if there are no tapes, however if there are tapes i dont know if the FBI would put it out in public. This could also damage Ayton if it happens

Very impressive highlight reel, usually a kid like that seems like he would be on Gonzaga's radar. I like how he seems to have an attitude in these clips. Very intrigued!!!!
You can also tell he just grew into that height, like maybe he was 6'4 to 6'7 2 years ago.

So where is he going to play in college? “I haven’t decided yet,” said Verbeek, who is averaging 17 points per game for Calvin Christian (4-1). “I’m waiting until after the season to start narrowing it down. I’m keeping my options open.” He said he’s made visits to Davidson, Western Michigan, Oakland, Creighton and Utah, to name a few. But the team he chooses will have to suit his style of play. He loves to shoot. “I think the biggest part for me is where do I fit in a school’s system,” he said. “I don’t play a traditional post. I’m more of a swing or stretch four (forward). I need to see a system that has players just like me. So that’s important to me.” On Friday night, Verbeek had 27 points, nine rebounds and six blocked shots in a 74-62 loss to Wyoming Godwin Heights. He was guarded by 6-foot-7 forward Markeese Hastings, who is headed to Butler. “I took it as a challenge,” Verbeek said. “He’s going to Butler. I want to go to schools like that and I want to show I can compete at that level. I think strength-wise I didn’t get pushed around much, so that’s good.” Hastings said he can appreciate Verbeek’s talent. “He’s pretty versatile, with him being 6-foot-10, playing outside and inside. It’s fun guarding him,” he said. highschoolsports.mlive.com/news/article/-809860631501774824/6-foot-10-blake-verbeek-says-he-will-decided-on-a-college-after-the-season/Blake Verbeek – 2018 – F/C – Grandville Calvin Christian (Michigan) A 6-10 plus length interior talent with a 7 foot plus wingspan, Verbeek is another senior who just needs a bit more seasoning, strength, and development to make an impact at the Division 1 level. Averaging close to 20 points a contest with grades, character, and a high ceiling, Verbeek has shown range, skill, an ability to rebound, solid activity on the defensive end, etc. Schools like Davidson, Western Michigan, Oakland, Creighton, Utah, etc. are just a few that have kicked the tires on the versatile inside outside talent. Size is always a commodity and Verbeek has that and skill. His best years will obviously be at the back end of his sophomore campaign as well as his junior and senior years. A late blooming big with game, Verbeek is another who can be a potential steal for the right coach. www.ny2lasports.com/article_one.aspx?articleid=4061

He's built like a toothpick and has maybe a 6" vertical, but wow, that kid can dribble and pass and shoot for his height.

Seems like a John Belein type so wondering why Michigan isn't all over him (or Michigan State who has had some success with big white guys).

With the roster next season, this team can have the luxury of redshirting a big kid just like this. I know nothing of him, but it fits that kind of profile and that thought process would be very helpful moving forward.

What is with everyone's fascination with redshirts? If we got this kid, we need him for 2018-2019 depth just as much as for potential. Past McClung and Mosley, he might be the 3rd best ballhandler on the roster.
