Check this kid out. 7'2 center. Grad transfer for New Mexico State. When BU says he wants someone taller than him, this kid might do the trick.

He's no Kareem but he does seem to have some low post moves and he can catch the ball off the high pick and roll. The competition was not great for the most part but a 7-2 guy for one season might not be a bad use of a scholarship especially if we wind up with one open.

I'd pass on the 7'2" guy. He has no legs, and he has little playing time. Started last year playing 25 and then down to a few minutes. Can't shoot a free throw, and more problematic is he has size and girth but did not impose his will on his moves to the basket, although he shot it well. B10 needs someone willing to bang.

Name to keep an eye on is Troy Baxter. Originally committed to Antigua at USF then wound up at UNLV, but he is now transferring.

Wow. Just like a good beer, lots of hops! The article said there were some issues on defense. I wonder if that was scheme or desire? Didn't look like he had much of an issue defending the rim.

Keep watching the consecutive videos after the first one, you'll see glimpses of LaTulip in the third video when they played Miami (OH) and Alstork had stats of 29/10/8. I may be wrong, but Alstork and Mark Smith appear to have a lot of similarities.

I thought the exact same thing while watching the first video.

Today is a big day for that reason, both guys visiting today could easily play 20 mins a game. along with Smith and Trent(who I guess you could call a Groce player) this team will for sure have BU finger prints all over it. We could really use at least one if not both signing before they leave campus.

Please, let's not start with this narrative! Trent Frazier has been a University of Illnois recruit from day one and he's never waivered in that regard. He's always been about the school. I think he's made that very, very, obvious. :shield::illinois::hailtotheorange::ah::chief:

I gotcha. 30 mins ago he met up with Coach Coleman at the airport. They also made him a cookie cake for when he arrived. It says, "Welcome to Illini Nation" with the shield logo above it.

Per Alstork's twitter, Underwood was there also.
