I think it has more to do with him being 230lbs instead of lack of athleticism....I mean he's not Fox or Wall speed-wise but he had no trouble dunking it either....if he sheds some poundage like you said, he'll probably be quicker and more athletic

I know nothing about the kid but it sounds like Frank Thomas becoming a point guard.
He is from just across the river from STL.
I have seen him play a couple of times. Very solid player. Needs to get in better shape.
Great knack for getting to the basket and scoring.
Definitely a 4 year type guy who could be a good player as a sophomore or junior.

Hope Cal considers the kid from New Mexico. Elijah Brown..It would be good to have some senior leadership next year.
Wouldn't play much in his first two years and that might be a issue for him. He's definitely the type of four year guy Cal needs who can develop and add some depth to the team. Not really a high level guard but one of those players you get at the end of recruiting when you're trying to fill in some holes as a 9th man on the roster and hope to develop him into a 6th man
In the culture and model we have I'm not sure you can bring in a grad transfer and expect to get a leadership role from them.
physique and game remind me a little bit of the best player in the country, who sat out when his team (that's still playing) came to rupp
And then the kid would choose Prep School as a better alternative than playing for UK.
I vote we recruit Frank Martin as a point guard.
If some idiot tries to go for the mugging/no call combo like UNC did on Fox, it will result in an ACL tear, 2 fractured ribs, and a partial soul dislocation.
Don't you know? UK virtually has to pay any and all players to go from a school like Illinois to Kentucky.
That's 3 more than we currently have. Could we trade four of our wings for a pg?
This was on KSR early this morning. Don't think he found it, more like just relaying the message.
I was interested in Rosie O'Donnell, but Charlotte Mckinney came in at the last second offering 200k for an LOI, which just barely tipped the scale.
Wouldn't think this would effect Knox at all. I think it would mean that Cal isn't looking at an grad transfer, if you ask me. Given that he doesn't like the rule and doesn't typically go that route, doesn't surprise me that this is the route he's going. I would like to see us add a grad transfer myself, I think it could really help our team. A lot of coaches, ala Pitino, make a living off transfers. It's definitely a commodity that I wish Cal would pursue more. But I doubt this effects or has anything to do with Knox. JMO.
I didn't clarify that I guess.. He made 44 3s on the year.. No idea how many he took..
Probably would be a good addition to already very outstanding upcoming team! I don't like Conzo Martin he never stays any where very long. Tenn. Cal. and now Missouri. Coach Cal and Co. need to get this young player sown up before Martin gets in his head. Plus other teams involved also.

Did not watch the tape.
But reading this thread I thought of Lee Humphrey without whom the Florida studs don't win the title.
This would appear to be a great fit. Hope it happens.

I mean why wouldn't we open up our checkbooks for some kid we probably won't need or use this year. Makes perfect sense.
Same. Sounds like the kind of noise coming out of a mentally handicapped animal's mouth/beak/bill
but does anyone with ties to the program or in recruiting circles know about Cal reaching out to 2017 6'5 PG Mark Smith? He was Illinois Mr. Basketball. Saw it via IG and was wondering how reliable it was. http://247sports.com/Player/Mark-Smith-46038443
That's been confirmed by several outlets. The Rivals writer covering U of Illinois wrote that both Michigan State and UK are "working hard" to get him to visit.
He'd probably be twice as fast if he'd take off that freaking sweatshirt - made me sweat like a mule just watching him. Other than that, my only concern would be that based on photos I've seen - he has Trump hands.
Bring him down though, need some late-bloomer, multi-year guys.
