It sounds like he is ours to lose

[RGV Pony]

Good thing it's hoops not football in that case

He's our guy, good for him and us.

he has said Arkansas would be his ideal choice b/c close to home, but they haven't offered. maybe he'll visit in Nov for the game against the hogs.

[mrydel]

If Arkansas gets him we can take Malik Monk.

i trust LB, but here is my observation on this kid. he's VERY full of himself after winning "dunk of the year" by stepping on a defender to elevate himself above the rim to make the dunk look so impressive. as i understand it, after getting that 'award' he quit going to practice for his HS team and was kicked off the team, hence the transfer last year. he even tweeted that if he moves up in the recruit rankings that he's going overseas to play after HS. yet this is the first anyone has really heard of him. i would get it if he was some hidden gem in some small town in the middle of nowhere, but like i said, eyes are on his AAU team and he isn't a blip on anyone's radar.

that, and if he was really that great, more schools would be on him. Like Mark said, he's on the same AAU team as Malik Monk, so there are webguys/scouts/coaches that have seen him play b/c they're there watching Malik, and his only offers are us, and i think OKSt. (haven't seen anything definitive on the OSU offer, but saw it mentioned somewhere).

you make some good points, but LB believes he will mature under his tutelage.
most coaches do not want to give kids the personal attention they deserve.
