Have always liked that kid. Elite athlete and plays hard. Just not the quickest processor.

You want a big.  Here's a big.

Walked behind the IMG bench at Chipotle a couple of years ago and he was sitting in a chair. I’m 6’4” and that kid was no more than a couple of inches shorter than me WHILE SITTING DOWN. It is jarring how big he is. A shame he can’t play at all.

....yes, it's a shame. At some point his extreme height will only get him so far and then his lack of foot speed and overall strength has him boxed into a corner. jmo

Gets to the free throw line A TON.

Any reason to believe that IU is pursuing and/or has a chance?

No clue, just seen him play a few times and caught my eye very quickly.

He's a Minneapolis native so definitely see Minnesota and maybe Iowa and Iowa State getting involved. He was buried on the depth chart at Wisconsin as a true freshman last year, lots of minutes available there now.

Please

He's wired pretty hot, to the point of uncountable.

 

I checked out Brandon Benjamin. I started the underclassmen scouting immediately after we put this year's team together. Benjamin can rebound.

I’ll take your word for it on Cyril’s wiring and if so that’s a problem. But that kid was the only reason to watch OTE games when he was there. Not many 7 footers play with their hair on fire the way he does and none of those kids wanted any part of him. It was pretty funny watching kids absolutely turning down going at him.

He has some pretty bad lapse in judgment  fouls this year.  Pretty sure he got a F2 foul for swinging at someone in the first half.  

Would certainly explain why OTE kids said nah.

FWIW, Fru is rated 11th overall — one spot ahead of Cyril

He’s graded at .9400. Last year that would put him outside the top 50. 
 

Maybe a bunch of good kids don’t get in this year and he stays around 11. But that probably isn’t ideal for Indiana either.
