Just one Bam, not two. Bam Bam is a cartoon character.

 

[brianpoe]

I dont care if his name is Wilma, he is a bad dude, i like his abilities.

 

[tank2009]

We need to sign him up!!!

 

[gracetoyou]

He's a beast

 

[TortElvisII]

Bigelow?

 

[UKrazycat2_rivals]

Watch a game where he and Alkins played on the same team. The two of them were unstoppable. Give me both of them.

Bam is a freak. Would love to have that athleticism. Fox, Monk, Bam and Gabriel would probably be Cal's most athletic team. Length, speed, quickness and bounce.

Not to mention SKJ and guys like Matthews, Mulder and Hawkins off the bench that are all super athletic.

I also like how having two traditional posts like Humphries and Wynyard affords us the luxury of being able to provide a different look out there when the situation calls for it.

 

[WildMoon]

Man, if he can come and become rebounding monster. That alone would be enough.

Controlling the board/possession is all he needs to do. Sign HIM UP!

 

[caneintally]

we will get Bolden not Bam but at least Bam is going to a no-body in NSst .

 

[bucsrule8872]

Bam would be a beast with Fox, Monk, and Gabriel on the perimeter. Lots of lob opportunities and putbacks.

 

[Orange Soda King]

Would we prefer Bam over Bolden? Or are both beasts?

 

[mjj_2K]

Adebayo, easily. Adebayo is an A+ athlete by any standard, big, strong, and explosive. Bolden is a solid 5 star prospect, but he's just not as gifted.

People are excited about the 16 class because you have multiple top guys with the type of athletic ability that sticks out immediately- the 30 second scouting report that basically just says "daaaaaaaamn!". I'd say that goes for Harry Giles, Josh Jackson, Malik Monk, Dennis Smith, and Bam, with Jayson Tatum and De'Aaron Fox not quite as impressive in terms of sheer athleticism, but still really elite because of how skilled they are.

Dickbutt likes the way Bam plays.

Who's dickbutt?

 

[Bertway0]

He reminds me of a slightly thicker CJ Leslie. Both are/were uber athletes, great at put backs and dunking, lacking in terms of any type of jump shot, both had high light vids of nothing but dunks, and both end up at NC State unfortunately.


I have no inside info, just going off everything I've read to this point to where people say he's an NC State lock due to forces beyond his control i.e. someone close to him has taken money to guarantee his delivery to Gottfried along with Smith. For his sake, let's hope his career ends better than Leslie's did. Guessing CJ is somewhere overseas.

Who's dickbutt?

Sorry to quote myself, but I gotta know..

Is he, by chance, related to Dick Butkus?

 

[Sithlyone]

Wow, that was my first time viewing his Mixtape! Halfway through I was like :flushed: opcorn:[banana]

Man he is a BEAST! I'm not sure about where we are with him but I hope Cal doesn't let him leave without a commitment. Fantastic Footwork, Body Control and he looks to take pride in protecting the rim. Our best offense would for sure be missed shots, he looks to be the best rebounder we had here since Randle left. He has gone straight to the top of my wish list.

 

[Montana81]

I really like big guys like Adebayo. Big guys that seem determined to dunk everything.

Azuibuike is another one in this class that I would have loved to have.

I'll be happy if we get either of Adebayo or Bolden. A few weeks ago I didn't think we had a chance with either.

 

[DraftCat]

Looks like he has an NBA body already.... sign him up Cal could be a fan favorite.

 

[westerncat]

It would be really something if Cal could get another great player out of N.C. He would lead UK in rebounding that's for sure.

I feel way smarter now.

Who's dickbutt?

Dick Butt is an illustration of an anthropomorphic phallus with a pair of testicles and a penis protruding from its backside.

On July 2nd, 2006, artist K.C. Green published a webcomic in his titled “Tree. You’ve Been Good to Us" as part of the Horribleville series, which featured an artist who illustrates the Dick Butt character

On April 12th, 2007, an entry for “dickbutt” was submitted to Urban Dictionary, where it was defined as the “weirdest thing you can think of.”

Ever watch the movie Idiocracy?

That movie is slowly becoming a reality.

The good news is at least some kid might look up "anthropomorphic" and expand their vocabulary.

 

[wromanp7]

You can see my avatar, right?

Um,ya.

Not sure why we're talking dickbutt in the bam bam thread. It's like Jurich takes over Duke.

 

[Pewee Cat]

Guess Cal should talk to you before he recruits a player

 

[Drcatfan]

Without a doubt, that kid is a stud. Hope Cal can work his magic.

 

[doneitall]

Cal would work magic and possibly make him into the number 1 in draft next year.

[getcha pull]

Whether we get him or not -"BAM will be a star in the NBA - I think he has the most ability of anybody in the country

 

[Blue2core]

Seems like an athlete first. Would be great at alley oops and put backs. Reminds me of montrez from Louisville.

Doesn't seem like someone who creates his own offense. But I think would be perfect in our offense.

 

[davekersey]

just got word that Bam is having a blast and loving what he's seeing. I'm encouraged. He can't stay for the combine though. (48 hour limit)

Not staying for the combine because of 48 hour limit on the visit seems like some poor planning on someone's part. Seeing all 30 nba teams in the house would've been a powerful demonstration of what UK and Cal can do for him. It's a shame he couldn't've caught a later flight into Lexington Friday night, or Cal couldn't've scheduled the combine to start a few hours earlier this afternoon.

The November signing date is just a few weeks away now. Out of Adebayo, Bolden, Giles, Allen, would you be willing to offer predictions yet?

 

[Kycatspaws]

2016 forward Edrice “Bam” Adebayo is visiting UK this weekend. Here is a photo of him looking really tall at the Joe Craft Center.

 

[Tampa_cat54_rivals112262]

He can absolutely stay.

He tweeted that he touched down in Lexington at 8:45 on Friday night.

If the visit started right at that very moment (which I doubt it did), that would give him until 8:45 PM tonight, at the end of the combine.

But the visit does not even officially start until he sets foot on campus, which I imagine was not until Saturday morning.

But even if it was on Friday night, it probably wasn't until well after 9:00.

So the 48 hour limit does not apply here.

 

[WildMoon]

i'm just guessing, but it's probably more related to flight schedule. He can't just stay over past sunday right?

 

[bradscats]

He is the type player that could dominate other colleges bugs because of his strength and athleticism. If he goes to NC St he will be like many other before him who don't do much of anything. Reminds me of so many five star guys that have went to other SEC schools. Most never amount to much and some get drafted based on the hype from high school and never do anything afterwards. Those fools who say a coach does not do anything for a one and done are insane. Kid goes to UK or Duke and he is almost guaranteed 10-12 solid NBA seasons.

 

[bucsrule8872]

Slowly?

We are still a few years away from using Gatorade to irrigate crops, I hope.
