Those two without Malik would be a birdie, those two with Malik is and Eagle and all of the above plus Diamond Stone would be a hole in oneQuote:

Still want him.
Yea and he's only started 7 of 34 games and averages 15 min per game according to that link. What's the story on him, and why is everyone high on him?Quote:

Really hope we get this guy.
He is a defensive stud. We need a tough guy enforcer in the post, and he would give us that and probably start for us right away next year.Quote:

In those 15 minutes a game he avg 2.2 blocks a game. 75 on the season. How many blocks did Black get this year? Ray Kosongo has 3 years left like Black. He's an upgrade over Black.Quote:

I don't know what his deal is but I know after the tourney MSU, LSU, TN, OM, UNLV, Seton Hall, & Kansas St offered. Also watching his film doesn't match his stats at all.
Might be a message being sent to Kentucky by Howland or I could be reading too much into this.Quote:

Interesting strategy to load up on big athletic Kentucky grown players that have been passed over by Kentucky.
Reading too much into that 1. Dixson is actually from West Virginia just played a couple years in Kentucky. Went back to WV for his Sr year.Quote:

Name of the team? List of that roster? Might be seeing some more names from that team.Quote:

Andy Kennedy is also visiting him Tuesday... This is one of the very few years we're going to actually recruit against UM, since we're trying to piece together some recruits at the end of the process. Kennedy always goes after transfers and JUCOs at the very end.
We need to lock this guy down.
The key to Malik is us signing a big or maybe 2. He wants to make a run in the NCAA, and has told George that he would feel very comfortable if we signed another big. We are looking very good as of tonight.
Hilarious to watch AK try and stay relevant. Does he really think he has a shot at this guy? We have absolutely crushed any momentum they had almost instantly from 1 week ago. Welcome back to your place OM hoops.Quote:
