He isn't as good as Tim Priller.  We do not want this kid.  This is a recording.

He’s a tough one. You don’t see that size and skill set very often.  Snider/Louisville Malik Williams was similar and has kinda been a bust.  But the potential is huge. He’s definitely not a banger and they don’t utilize him enough IMO.  Tough scout. Seems like a kid Michigan State would want.  I know he’s hated here but I’m not sure that’s fully warranted. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,808]

Michigan has offered.

[Hoosierfanyuh 2,134]

Unless we are in real contention for KJ evans i feel like this should be a big priority with how hes been playing lately. I know awhile ago there was some thought he liked us. Has that changed?
