We don't need him, we got Hamlin instead. Hamlin's wingspan is 2" greater.

It’s funny how we used to talk about what someone’s vertical was and their quickness. Now wingspan seems to top everything.

My dad used to work with old bloom coach Gary Meyer. Meyer said they played a game vs Thornton once where at times there were 8 D1 guys on the floor between the 2 teams.

It will be interesting to see how Hawkins' career compares to Mitchell's. Clearly staff wanted Hawkins instead of Martice.
Sooooo schools like KU or Nebby invite rappers like Snoop or Rick Ross, seems like there’s an equation that works. Even when KU had to issue an apology for the explicitness of the show, it still popped for the kids/cruits.
Man I’m feeling old. My high school is in the same conference as Bloom, but the coach back then was Wes Mason — two coaches prior to Meyer.

McCoy had mad handles. Thought he'd make the League, but he couldn't shoot.

Hawkins overall is far more offensively ahead of Mitchell imo...staff wanted him more due to style of play. Mitchell is more your proto-typical 4 or at least will be in college...Hawkins will be a wing/slashing 4 I think. I still think the kid plays similiar style to Durant. Talent is there to be groomed and the body is there for Fletch to do his magic.

Davion Bradford to announce this Friday-
http://www2.kusports.com/weblogs/tale-tait/2019/oct/7/3-star-center-late-night-visitor-davion-/
My guess is that he stays midwest and Kansas State is probably the end game, Mizzou is warm per 24/7, lets hope not...lol

It'll be Kansas State. Weber putting together a solid class, guys who have a lot of upside.
I faced Raymond McCoy in the Little League state playoffs. I think he struck about 14 or so of us that game. I don't even remember if he had any kind of breaking ball, but he had a hell of a fastball.
He hurt his knee when he was with San Francisco (or at least battled knee problems) and he just was never the same. When he played at DePaul, he just didn't have the explosiveness he had when I used to watch him against my high school.
Thanks, I wasn't sure since Walker had been the lead recruiter on this one.
