I mean on here over the years. I'm blocked by him on X so I can't even see what he says even though I hear he talks about me

I am blocked on Twitter too by him. Does NGW still post on here?

I believe NGW deleted his account here within the past month.

No, he got mad and asked the mods to delete his account. After that Tyme started posting a lot more. He also started posting about what we said on here a lot more. 

Malone is visiting today. His dad Moses was a good player

Are you serious about Moses being his dad?  Didn't know that. I think IU gets two commitments by this weekend leaving one scholly for someone unexpected.

I'm very rarely serious

Watching the highlights of Malone, it’s hard to know what the huge jump in competition would be like for him. But I think he would be a great addition to the bench. Low risk since it’s not like we’d be banking on huge minutes from him but if he blossoms….

NGW says hi.

But it took him 4 pages and 750 words to say that.

Im hoping we get a commitment today from someone who was on campus last night. Waiting all day and night with no announcement thinking there was going to be one was a nightmare. I didn’t have enough thumbs to twiddle haha. Good to see he was hanging out with some teammates last night. Hopefully yesterday was a matter of sealing the deal, telling him to go hang out and have some fun while we work on your commitment video, and tomorrow we’ll let it be known.

Man, some of you really ought to be charging NGW rent given the degree to which he's living in your heads...

I have not watched his videos yet ... do you think he would be better than Sparks was last year, as a backup center?

If staff is trying to get him, would he be an “instead of” Essegian, or an “along with”?

Well, he can’t be much worse, I suppose. But it looks to me, and again, he isn’t playing great competition in these video but he has a much more well rounded game than Sparks. Actually hit some 3s, not that I expect him to be a stretch 5 or anything.

Some would say as much as he talks about us on X we're living rent-free in his. HA

Yes and it's not even close because of his size and overall skill set

I am thinking "along with" ... Walker shot 35% from 3 last year hitting 36 of them.

Regardless of the competition he was playing with - he is clearly a much more skilled basketball player than Sparks. 37% from three on 100+ attempts and and 81.4% free throw shooter. He also has great size. Ideal backup big man if you ask me.

Also, Malone was certainly well coached at Grace. They have an excellent program. Many people think of Indiana Wesleyan as having a great NAIA program - Grace beat them by double digits three times this year.

Not to mention he's 6'10 with a 7'4 wingspan and will dunk everything he can
