Will do. In the interim, please, please understand what we have in Roby. Due to Coach Cal being at UK, and that I live in Lexington and quit working for the UK Athletic Department last year, and that

Long time listener, first time caller. It might be 3-4 weeks, but expect some really, really good news on a transfer coming soon.

Illinois and Minnesota already have taken kids from Drake the last 4 or so years. We might as well follow suit.

Actually, from a couple tiny clips I have seen of him, he looks like he might be pretty good. Appears athletic for a 7 footer.

Seems like we'd have the inside track, assuming we're interested. :)

Here are highlights from this year:

I don't remember much about him at Lincoln High, just the name.

 

If I remember right he was mostly a banger at Lincoln High.  Looks like he has improved a lot.

 

Merill has improved tremendously.  He came back last summer and played pick up with us a few times.  Solid player now.  Still not a big 10 caliber player.  Definitely athletic enough to play here, but skill level would be slow.  Not saying he couldn't be good enough to play in a power conference though.

Makindé London

Height: 6'10"

Weight: 210

HometownNashville, Tenn.

High SchoolMontverde

Previous SchoolFla. Academy

MACK ON LONDON:

"Makindé London has so much potential and playing against the best high school players in the country every day in practice at Montverde began to turn that potential into production. Makinde is a hybrid forward capable of changing the game at both ends of the floor. He is 6-10, can handle, pass and shoot the ball and can impact the game above the rim."

AT MONTVERDE ACADEMY:

A skilled forward who grew from a 6-1 guard as a freshman in Nashville to his current height this past season at Montverde Academy in Montverde, Fla. ... Averaged 5.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 blocks per game as a senior for a team that won the National Championship ... Shot 44.1 percent from the field, including 38 percent from 3-point territory, and 74.1 percent from the free-throw line ... Team finished with a 28-0 record, including winning the Dick's Sporting Goods National Invitational, beating Oak Hill in the final on ESPN at Madison Square Garden ... Team also won the titles of four other tournaments this past season: City of Palms, Bass Pro Tournament, Wild Wing Cafe Hoops Classic and the Montverde Academy Invitational Tournament ... Then-No. 2 Montverde Academy made its case for the national championship by beating No. 10 Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, Va.) 71-62 in the final of Dick's Sporting Goods High School National Tournament at MSG ... Montverde strengthened its resume in New York by also beating then-No. 4 Sagemont (Weston, Fla.) 81-63 and then-No. 12 Huntington St. Joseph Prep (W.Va.) 56-51 ... Basketball coach: Kevin Boyle.

BOYLE ON LONDON:

"Makindé is as good a shooter as there is out there at 6-8 or taller. He can really stretch the defense with his ability to shoot the three. He can catch and finish and on defense he has begun to use his long arms and athletic ability to create deflections. He's a great kid who brings energy to the team and the entire campus. He has a chance with his size and ability to develop into a great player at Xavier and professionally. He played with eight other guys who are going to play Division I basketball. "

HIGHLY RANKED:

Ranked as a four-star recruit and the No. 83 prospect in his class by Rivals.com ... Ranked as a four-star recruit by 247sports.com and the No. 76 prospect, including the 17th-ranked power forward ... A four-star recruit on Scout.com who is listed at No. 22 at power forward ... No. 30 power forward on ESPN.com.

AT SUMMIT HIGH SCHOOL: Averaged 10.8 points and 1.5 assists per game as a junior at Summit High School in Nashville, Tenn., in the 2012-13 season ... Transferred to Montverde Academy after his junior year.

Makinde London has redshirted already, so he'd come in with 3 years to play 2, with one of those years sitting out as a transfer.  His one season playing at Xavier, he only averaged 5 minutes and about 1 1/2 pts and rebounds/game.  That's as a redshirt freshman who has already sat out a season.  So, he's in the original class of 2014 just like Jake Hammond.  Hammond's numbers this season weren't a lot better but they were actually better.  And it's pretty much apples to apples because they were both in their second year in their respective programs.

 

I think that'd be like trading a '99 Volkswagon Jetta with 156,000 miles for a '01 Ford Festiva (single owner, very nice) with 145,000 miles.  I don't think you moved up very far in the car department by making that swap.
