Honestly, at this point I'd rather we recruit like Texas, UConn, Houston, Baylor, Miami, SDSU, Villanova from a few years ago, Michigan under Beilein, etc.

Multi-skilled, multidimensional guys that are tough and athletic. We need to find guys like that in the portal, and while they need work and development I think/hope that Banks, Gunn, Newton and Cupps fit that mold. 

We don't need to recruit like Duke, Kansas and UK. 

Definitely with the way the game is played now

Didn’t he originally wanted to play at Purdue?

Yes before Ivey committed he was going to commit to Purdue.  He cried after Ivey committed.    It worked out for him at Baylor

Is there more to the ware story that’s known? Inside the hall put him on our watch list and i havent seen anything public about us contacting him

Keep an eye on Kal'el Ware 

He is who I would like for CWW to get an official visit at least.  I think he’s got skills that could help compliment Reneau

Fran Fraschilla mentioned it a couple times during Baylor games he did on ESPN

What's going on here? Don't remember his name coming up.

 

It was actually a few days ago on here and on the Twitterverse.  He's a 6'9" PF/C who's a decent defender and rebounder but does not have have an outside shot at all.  57% shooter last season, 9.7 ppg, 6.9 rpg and 1.4 blocks in 24 1/2 minutes.  My uneducated guess would be he ends up follows his coach to Penn State and might have played a part in Kebba Njibe's decision to transfer.

Lol - when I got called out by name on another board I looked back to see if I said anything inappropriate or rude. When I found what I actually said, I thought his reaction was odd. Especially the part where the other board poster implored someone on this board to tell me to stop riding him when I said:

• no reason to believe he knows anything that others don't,
• but you never know.

I said my peace -- maybe was a bit direct yesterday in re-visiting that the insider's 'any minute now' thing wasn't necessarily so, but there has never been a need to name call or continue to tweak anyone.

We are all Hoosier fans, and while the meme is funny...time to move on and root for the glory of Old IU!

That’s a panic move for a marginal athlete with size definitely not an ace up the sleeve move.

Here is what I have gathered from reading about him on VCU message boards:

-- does not possess an outside shot but has a really good touch around the rim.  Believe that posters that have said he's more of a slasher than post up player are correct.

-- plays with an edge.  They felt he really improved on harnessing that as his sophomore year went on -- went from being a hothead as a freshman to a guy who was very competitive and competed for every ball as a sophomore.

I really didn't find anyone talking bad about him which is rare for a guy likely exiting the program.   FWIW, he was a 13.5 mpg game player as a freshman and even without eye popping numbers as a sophomore was still third team A-10.  Plus defender.

A couple of final four teams also appear to be panicking on this kid.

Two teams on his list were in the final four.  Would say if they are offering, he has something.

I would cry if I had to go to Purdue.
