I really like this guy. He reminds me of Jerami Grant with some Conrad Mcrae rip. Based on nothing but my imagination and watching a 30 second highlight.

Good article by Mike Waters in PS today. Kyle never even asked about money. He was impressed with how much the coaching staff knew about him and how upfront Red was about where he needs to improve. Very blunt with his assessment.

I just want this kid to be voracious about getting defensive AND offensive rebounds. And when he does get offensive rebound, don't bring ball down to waist level, go straight up take shot, preferably a dunk.

Chip would probably like that.

 

[kcsu]

Chip would probably like that.

We certainly hope not

Chip would probably like that.

I'm a lot heavier than I used to be.

he was and will always be the best Dry Hump to ever wear orange

Please aim your mocking nicknames at opposing players, not "our" guys. Even in the NIL and portal era we want to like those who wear the orange.

Nothing wrong with a dry hump.

He averaged 10 his soph year.

Ballard averaged 10 his 5th year senior year? Nothing I posted was wrong

Ballard is the 9th ranked center overall in the transfer portal according to on3 and 70th overall. Sommerville who you like is 12 and 103.

I mean, he said his agent deals with that.

And I'm sure if his agent said "they aren't offering the number you set" that would've changed pretty quick.

Was a good interview though at face value.

Jonathan Givony has Kyle rated as a starting center.

Jonathan Givony has Kyle rated as a starting center.

Been looking at his tweets as well...am I correct that this database of his is not actually published anywhere so all we have to go off of are his screenshots?

Appears that way.

Interesting…

 

[rocklloyd]

Appears that way.

Hopefully someone forwards to Alex Kline, our savior.

I would imagine Kline's database is bigger and more thorough.

I found this video of his time at South Dakota, before transferring to UCLA.

Two take away points. He is much more of a post player than we thought. He has a little skill, and didn’t just big boy everybody in the lower league. He’s got a little baby hook that seems to be hard to defend, he just has long arms and gets high when using it. He also protects his shot well with his body.

My other takeaway is just how much bigger he got in his year at UCLA. He physically looks like a different player in his UCLA highlights than his previous year highlights.

I wish we had a Strength building program at Syracuse.

Anyway, this video is pretty good, (although non HD for some of it, apparently South Dakota is still in the Stone Age) but even if you don’t care to watch it, watch the plays that start around 3:05 in the video. Kyle is going to be fun to watch run in transition. He is a Grant, Warrick class dunker. He’s going to be fun to have in our team.

It’s nice to see his baby hook actually get over the front rim. Lampkin drove me nuts this year with all his hooks never getting over the rim. This kid’s more polished offensively than I thought. He was basically a dunker at UCLA.

Would love to see what that database looks like. Even after recruiting season is done, maybe just post your list Kline?? Wishful thinking I know.

He actually helps off of his man and blocks shots! Talk about something we didn't see at all last year.

It would be interesting to see it, but that will never happen.

I think Eddie got better toward the end of the season, but for most of the season he was firing laser beams at the front of the rim.
