I don't know if he knows how to play basketball but he will clog up the middle. Currently at IMG Academy and hails from Canada. This will be the tallest player to ever play college basketball.

I don't think he's tall enough though.🤣

He certainly is tall which as they say you cannot teach but I wonder about someone with that extreme length could he ever reach the point of conditioning where he could run up and down the court in an up tempo game. I guess we'll find out  |

Rated a 3 star, #305 overall and #56 center. Not expected to play a lot next year.

Newsweek says he is still growing. The kid was 6'1" as an 8 year old and was pushing 7' by the 6th grade. He reminds me of a high school Bill Spivey. I hope he doesn't learn how to play the game like Spivey.
The boy is certainly a project but at 7' 9" and growing a project a coach would love to take on. I think the Gators may red shirt him this year.

I saw a video---moves SLOWLY, getting up and down the floor is nearly impossible at regular b'ball speed.
If he has desire and willing to put forth the effort--may eventually be better than Shagari Alleyene.

I’m kinda interested to see how he progresses over the next couple years. Don’t see him doing much right away.

They are saying now he is projected to grow 42 to 43 more feet and be over 50 feet tall. Remember the movie Attack of the 50 foot woman? This sequel will be basketball related. Being over 50 foot tall is going to bring many coaches to head deep into caves and jungles searching for Nephilim to recruit to counter this. Calipari is down in Miami looking for some of those tall project blue beam "aliens". Rick Barnes is trying to get Elon Musk to break through the firmament 93 miles in the air and head to Venus to try and keep the Orangies competitive.
We are waiting on Mark Popes strategy going forward. Im sure he has a plan.
