Elsewhere, the biggest (literally) name to keep a very close eye on is Cherif Millogo, who just wrapped up his third official visit and is expected to move toward a decision in the very near future, with Kentucky seen as the heavy favorite. The 7-foot-5 center saw one of the most significant jumps in the entire class, one of just 10 players to move up between 15 and 40 spots in Monday’s update.


He wrapped up the weekend ranked No. 30 overall, but now begins the week at No. 11 overall, making him the No. 2 center in the class. That’s immediately behind former UK target Lewis Uvwo (No. 10), who committed to Providence last week.

If Millogo pulls the trigger on the Wildcats, as expected, he would then become Pope’s highest-rated and most intriguing high school pledge to date.

Our past experience with “superbigs” has not gone so well (see Shagari Alleyne, Jared Carter, etc.). But I’m optimistic that this one will turn out more like Zach Edey than those guys.

Huge, in every use of the word.

I've watched this kid's rise. He is a potential top five recruit by next spring. He's also a guy who lots of top recruits and portal guys will want to play with -- and he's already made Hampton a better player, forcing defenses to collapse and providing an unmissable lob target .

Great win for Pope.

That's like eating at a Jack in the Box and being worried about eating a steak at Jeff Ruby's because your past experiences with beef didn't go so well.
