247 lists him as 6'5 1/2"?  Wonder where the difference lies?

Need to see if Oak Park plays near here this year.

Local news had him at 6'4" this christmas. Could still be growing though.

[hhcmatt]

Has offers from Wisky, Texas A&M and Oregon among others. We were down to see him play last night.

[colhusker]

Just checked he played vs Rock Bridge here in town earlier in the year.  Max Prep blocks box scores since I am not a member but it appears he scored 28 against a very good Bruin team.

All his high major offers have came in the last two weeks.

 

oregon A&M and Wisconsin all beat us to the punch 

[Cookie Miller Wasn't Dirty]

KU, WVU, and Texas all looking at him. Our advantage here is proximity (as long as KU doesn’t offer). Fingers crossed.

We need big men!!!!

Watched a couple YouTube videos of him and I'm impressed. He definitely looks the part. I don't think he's a stranger to the weight room. His jumper looks nice and he's not afraid to cut to the basket. Didn't see a whole lot on the defensive side. Not saying he's not a good defender but it didn't make his highlight real. Definitely looks deserving of the attention

It's always nice to have a 7 footer in a recruiting class but the 2 guard position needs to be addressed next year. Gill and Taylor both leave a need for a taller guard with Watson, Allen and newcomer Xavier Johnson being right at 6 feet. Ideally you would hope development of Thor and Nana would have them ready for next year but it's definitely a question mark. But yes another 5 would be nice too ?

Looks like a talented kid that is continuing to improve.  A lot of good teams seem to be in the mix.  He seems to be the type of player who would fit our style.

"We need a big" guys are funny. Yea we really could use one-- but we also might have all of our big guys minutes back.

 

We lose Taylor and Gill for sure and what if Palmer declares? 

 

Pretty sure we need good players--regardless of the position they play.

Definitely need a bigger guard and a big yet still in this class for sure. I didn't even think about the possibility of Palmer declaring...

Honestly kind of crazy how quickly he blew up. Went from 0 Power 5 offers to signing with Kansas in like a two week span. 

[B-town hoopsfan]

Kansas pulled his redshirt. He’s in the rotation now and definetly looks the part. I’ll give it to Miles he knows how to identify talent that the rankers don’t necessarily see.
