    My thoughts on hearing nothing goes back to good manners, if you don’t have anything good to say about it, stay silent, ummmmmmm

    Well, staff and anyone affiliated with the program aren't allowed to talk about the recruiting of individual players.

    ah yes, there is that. I can imagine based on his and TG's personality they would get along very well, and the proximity of IMG all bodes well for us, if we want him and he wants us

    I would love to have this kid. There is a great 25 minute video of him on YouTube that is worth watching.

    I don't see that we've extended an offer to him as of yet.
    Hate seeing COOL or another team next to our prospect list description.

    That is it. I also am a big fan of Bill Wennington going all the way back to his St. John’s days.

    Oh well, I hope we don’t end up playing against him for two or three years. Thanks for this. I know we are loaded with bigs now’s, but you never know when now, transfers, injuries, NBA. They should offer I feel…., you might not ever cross paths with someone this big that is not a twig. His highlights are decent and with strength training and other training against a decent large team, uf 23/24, 24/25, he might turnout to be an excellent thing to throw at teams and disrupt anything close to the basket. CTG and the other coaches might be thinking he couldn’t rotate fast enough to guard outside. I feel we could figure out a defense that allows him to roam from the foul line to the goal. Hopefully with a great season and recruiting, we are able to pull him into being a Gator.
