Regardless of stars, I love that the staff seems to be offering largely players that are tall, even at the guard position.
Maybe that's a weird thing to like, I don't know.
What's the word on Max Christie? Are AAU politics at play?
It's definitely Jimmy Boeheim's bread and butter - he recruits length and shoves them into his 2-3 zone D. If they don't get it right away, they usually do around mid January.I feel like this was John Belein’s bread and butter.
Christie's dream school is Duke. For a loooong time.

We just offered a top 30 Junior out of Arizona with interest in visiting...
So, if you throw the ball against the backboard, to yourself and dunk it (spoiler alert), is that an assist, rebound and score? I guess it can't be both an assist and a rebound...... I guess I would go with assist and score, since it wasn't a missed shot.Here is the latest mixtape I could find on Kendall Brown, it's from June of 2019 so the highlights are from his sophomore year. He's listed as a 6'-7" 180lb SF and averaged 17ppg for his HS team that went 28-4. At the time of the video he was ranked #14 for 2021 by ESPN and had offers from Baylor, Texas, and Minnesota. I'm no NBA scout so I'm not going to try to dissect the video (mostly dunks and blocks anyway) or make some wild comparison to an NBA Hall of Famer, but I think he'd be fun to see in O&B and would definitely help fill the hole we have at the 3 spot.

I'm not claiming I can do much better, but those announcers were really struggling with his name. At one point, one of them was practically calling him "Pikachu."Pretty intriguing prospect. Kid has skills: Alex Tchikou Raw Highlights from Mustang Madness! The 6'11 PF Stock is On the RISE!
but Deron Williams something something...

One of these things is not like the other (from a HS prospect perspective). Christie is in the top 10, Williams was ~50. Christie is not going to be shut out of a ride at his preferred school(s).
It is a brilliant strategy, getting really tall guys to play basketball. /sRegardless of stars, I love that the staff seems to be offering largely players that are tall, even at the guard position.

Always thought Hardy was a pipe dream. Now, I have some hope. Hardy's brother pledged to OSU & Underwood. And Underwood has kept very close tabs on Hardy for a long time.

No info, but my bet would be Holmgren (or maybe Brown) flipping. Holmgren would see what OA and BU have done for Black, Giorgi and Kofi, and also that Kofi not going to be here 4 years. As for Brown, my thoughts would be UI as an option in case Kansas gets hammered by NCAA (not likely if past is a prelude) or Self leaves or both.

Amauri Hardy's primary recruiter at Ok State was Lamont Evans.
So, you're suggesting Tchikou has a mental disorder? Also, Grubbs was 6' 8".
Sorry, I’m not familiar with Grubbs situation.
Just remembered when he and Terry Cummings were coming out of high school. From what I remember Grubbs was being touted as 6’10” at the time. Maybe reality set in at 6’8”. That was kind of the beginning of the slim tall forward that could handle a little and shoot. Grubbs was wirey and Cummings was power... It wasn’t as easy back then to follow recruiting before the internet!
