Yeah think it's time to update his position here. Playing the 3 for his current team, projecting a 4 next level, imo.

constantly faces double teams too. Sometimes triple teams.

Updated height/weight and added ESPN page up top.

Yes, if you ignore what Pap believes.

The founder of a famous iubb site said today that MW is leaning towards IU. Fwiw...

I thought we weren't sure who founded http://www.tomcreanbuyout.com/

MSU also has several top 20 wings in the 2016 class and could possibly add a third in Josh Jackson.  They also have Deyonta Davis, Bess, Clark, and Goins in the post.  MSU is swimming in talent and might not have enough playing time for him.

He just took a visit there. This happens when people visit.

Word out of Ft. Wayne is quite different

That's why I don't pay much attention to the ebs and flows of recruiting news from the sites. They basically change their picks every time a kid takes a visit.

Mildly interesting that Ft. Wayne historically has not been a significant source of talent for our basketball program.  I looked at the Indpls. Star database and found only 22 players with Ft. Wayne as their hometown designation and that's going back to the 1901-1902 season!  Since the reign of The General there have been only 4 and none played more than 2 seasons:  James Hardy opted to play football; Tracy Foster transferred to UAB; John Flowers transferred to UNLV; and Steve Heiniger. 

 

Trivia:  Because they both grew up in Ft. Wayne, Tracy Foster was Rod Woodson's presenter for his 2009 enshrinement in the pro football hall of fame.  In 2010, Flowers was a doorman at the Wynn in Las Vegas --  I may have tipped him and didn't realize who he was!  :P

will have to keep my ears open when I go home next time:)

Good to know; saw him at the IU/PU game and was watching for a reaction from him but never got it. I said to my friend, if I were him I would have chills right now but he was pretty stoic

True story.

FW Snider lost its opening game of the 2016 IHSAA tournament losing to 12th ranked Carroll 64 - 45.    Carroll held big man Malik Williams to nine points on 3 of 13 shooting; he did have 14 rebounds.

He got thumped. Carroll is a big school. Seems to have a decent BB program.
