Wow

Kline and Travis Branham both deleted their tweets.

Oops.

The International May of Mystery will have to be mysterious for a little while longer.

I like the fact that we seem to be moving away from the tall skinny guys who can’t rebound or defend physically. At least this kid looks the part with some bulk, but he’s not out of shape like Eddie. The film above shows a guy who has an idea how to play the game and can finish. Didn’t exactly play in front of big crowds against good competition, but I can’t see any downside here and potentially some useful upside.

You now have 3 athletic guys who can catch, dunk, block shots and use 15 fouls to keep opponents out of the lane.
They all can be very aggressive on defense, and add Freeman, and White to that, if Red figures out how to coach, this could be a fun year.
Red really needs to play aggressive defense so this team can run and wear teams out.

Beat out Baylor and k state.

I'm holding onto this Denzel boom meme until we get the official confirmation!

Yes finally. Can we please go back to putting those quick guards on the floor when they want to get in the paint over and over.

I'm guessing since he's an International guy, there's a bunch of paperwork that has to be completed, and they can't finish it because today's a Federal holiday.

I’ve got a Facebook post and Axe post . Will let you know when I get MySpace confirmation and my aol.com email refreshed.

Hopefully not more getting involved either and has nothing to do with the premature announcement. I think this guy is garnering late serious interest playing the EYBL circuit and unusually would be immediately going up to College Basketball.

Do we not trust Syracuse.com now?

if it was wrong, everyone messed up, not just Syracuse.com.

It's just a timing issue. I've confirmed with a source that it's happening, although I do recognize that some X posts/articles were deleted.

I’m just clicking refresh to see if he grows another inch. He started at 6’11 and is already at 7!

Good end of the bench pickup. Good size and not a beanpole. Hopefully he doesn’t have to play but if he does seems he has enough tools to be serviceable in spot minutes if his number is called.

Also once again 6-11 but kid has big wingspan lining up with the rest of the front court.

 

[orangefog]

This is a solid roster. I hope Red can find a coach or two to add to the staff that can teach basketball.

Love the late add international man of mystery.

This is all upside. Tremendous use of the last scholarship.
