Am I allowed to say that I was more impressed by this kid's tape, then by Clingan's? Not sure of the level of competition but this kid has good form on his shots, moves fairly well for his size, looks to have great timing on those blocks, and I detected an edge to his game on some of his plays. I like this offer.
Looks like if Craig Forth and Tyler Lydon had a baby.This is the first I've heard of this kid. The film clips linked here are fairly impressive -- looks like he has good mobility, he's athletic, a very good athlete, has good timing with shot blocking, and a high release point on a confident jump shot. Also looked like he played some kids that were reasonably his size -- this wasn't just a highlight reel against a bunch of short guys.
I can certainly see why we offered. Not sure when these clips were from -- his 24seven profile lists him as 230 pounds, he certainly isn't that in the clips [which could be attributable to them being from last year].
Iowa seems solidly in the lead here, and they do have a good rep producing these types of bigs, ie: lumbering 7-ft white guys.I wanted to give some more background on Riley Mulvey (rising Junior-- he was a 6'11 Soph this past season). Yes, he is a local BIG (Rotterdam) where he played at Albany Academy last year with Andre Jackson. Sounds like he'll be playing at St. Thomas More in CT this season (same school Andre Drummond played at). I believe Jai Smith is there now too. One if older brothers, Taylor Mulvey, is listed as a basketball coach and college placement director at STM. Riley's first and only HM offer was Iowa in April, and Riley has some family connections to the McCaffrey family (I'll link the article below the Iowa offer tweet). He also took an unofficial to Iowa last fall and he sees himself becoming like a Garza. We are now the second HM offer and still early (a good thing) as I'd expect his list to keep growing in the near future. Lots to like about him now as a player/recruit and even more to like in 2 years!
