Will be following during the AAU season. Anyone know who he will be playing with?

Last year it was with Midwest Ball Club out of Ohio but I don't know about this year.  If you find out, please let me know so I can try to keep track of his game stats.

A lot to like about this kid. Big body. Hands. Really good feet. Can run. Would be pretty surprised if he gets an IU offer, but if he’s patient enough to wait until the spring I have no problem seeing him get high major offers.

Reminds me of a less developed Thomas Bryant

The comp I keep coming back to is Nick Ward from MSU. Maybe not the sheer low post bully that Ward was, but he has better feet.

I’d be tickled to have this one on board

Another kid that could have really used a solid AAU season to boost his stock.  Sadly, just one of many.

We should've shown interest the first time around. If I were him, I'd tell IU to eff off.

Different head coach and staff.

Understood, but i'm sure the fact that IU showed little interest has left a bad taste in his mouth. Hopefully Woody can get him on board, but I doubt it.
