I can understand why the staff are "looking" at Majak in hopes of landing the next Olajuwon, Mutumbo, Bismack Biyombo, or Joel Embid.  My thinking is that Majak isn't even close to where BMK was ranked, let alone the guys I listed that became NBA players.  It's just not that common to catch lightening in a bottle especially when none of the other big power five schools see what we see (except Washington).

This is where many don't get me... I don't WANT to believe that Majak is unworthy of a scholarship.  I'd LOVE to be able to say, this guy looks like a steal, sign him up!  I don't enjoy bickering.  But the vast majority of these African guys (even the more highly sought after ones) can't put on any weight, and they are so far behind skills wise because unlike American kids they haven't been playing basketball since the age of three.

Anyhow, I will follow this story very closely.  I wish we were in on some other bigs in 2018.  That said, IF Majak can magically improve further and quickly, maybe I'll hop on board the Majak Bus... but for now, I'll pass.
