I've never seen this site before - they have rankings for kids down to the 3rd grade - look out for Bryant to hit up some kids with offers in elementary school

[NHRamFan]

I hear there's a kid in the 2035 class with a mean crossover and step back jumper. His ups are currently hindered by an occasionally full diaper, but his handlers tell me that once potty trained they expect him to take a big leap forward.

[Billyboy78]

I thought we had already offered, but Amani posted this today.

[DC_Rams]

I’m confused. We offered long ago, as did those schools

whoops, sorry, I was thinking of a different player. This wasn't intended for this particular player.

I started watching some videos and this kid doesn't actually look half bad, undersized though, I doubt he is taller than 6'6".

[DC_Rams]

He’s only 6’6 and played in the NBA Juniors. Kid is a stud.

[Ramulous]

A long long long time away

[Rhody19/21]

"Only 6'6".... Give the kid some time to grow lol

[sevegny7]

Yeah he is still young but seen him dominate seniors in high school that are going power 5 numerous times this year. He held his own against Hunter Dickinson who is 7 feet and going to Michigan. Very skilled offensively and was not intimidated to score over Hunter Dickinson. I would love to land this kid. Seems very comfortable scoring with his back to the basket over either shoulder or facing up and hitting a jump shot. I agree with DC he is a definite stud.

Love to see it. With our recent St. Johns recruit successes, hopefully we can land this stud.

He is only a Freshman.

[rhodyfan3000]

If you look closely, he is listed at 6'8"

That's what I was referring to. There is no need for 6 people to come on here and repeat the same thing. I got the point.

I'm just saying in his videos, he's not much taller than the guards on the floor, so he isn't 6'8" yet.

#84...




5 hours after the whistle.

[SandorClegane]

Do we have a shot at him?

Updated. He's now 6'8", and gotten a ton of interest from big schools.
