The player has not been mentioned in this post nor is his name anywhere mentioned on the site (at least thru the search) and he is a big boy perfect
But what are you saying, that we are now showing interest or that this is an imminent commitment?

curious to me that people who think we need another big because of concerns about bourama's tendinitis would ignore chol's much more serious injury historyChol would be a good get. His recruitment has been fairly quiet of late. He was thought to be a UCANT lean early.. but that probably came down to proximity before he went to IMG.
Corey Evan's described him well...
"The best way to describe Chol Marial? A unicorn. He earned that adjective years ago with his unique combination of size, length, ball skills and agility. A 7-foot-1 center with a 7-foot-9 wingspan, Marial fits the modern-day, big-man mold because he can step out to the perimeter and knock down the open jumper, but has the instincts, coordination and timing to protect his basket and rebound his area.
So, what gives? Marial has been difficult to track down on the hardwood for the past two years, primarily due to foot and shin injuries. That is scary when it comes to a growing, young big man. Do we stick to our guns and believe that Marial will eventually play like his former self, which places him among the elite? Or do we lower our projections and wait until we see the Sudanese center back on the floor? The word "polarizing" does not do the Marial debate justice."

I mentioned Chol's injury yesterday, (feel free to look on pg one of this thread) and I'm not advocating for him. I'm simply asking if he's someone the staff is interested in. JBA's achilles injury is equally concerning.curious to me that people who think we need another big because of concerns about bourama's tendinitis would ignore chol's much more serious injury history
Ego?Why play these silly games? Why would it be a secret to be interested in a new recruit?
akok is a forward so i wouldn't include him. i would think if su landed wahab or stewart that would be it for 5s - if pascal opts for a 6th year, that would put 4 centers on the roster next year when jb has said in the past that 3 is too many. no room for a fifthsmart post as i think if we were to land Wahab or Stewart or Akok we should still take another big man (including knowing we have John Bol AJak)

Hit the ignore button if you aren't interested.Why play these silly games? Why would it be a secret to be interested in a new recruit?
If the player is verbally committed elsewhere, as you suggest, why are we interfering?More like, the coaches are actively pursuing somebody, and they don't want to get the name out there just yet -- perhaps to avoid tipping off the coaching staff from the team that said recruit might be verbally committed to. Not that difficult to figure out.

I meant it in jest... none of our commits are ours either until they sign too. Not that I'm expecting Goodine or JBA to flip. But premature anything isn't good, right?That's a silly question. A player's fair game until they sign.
Because its inside knowledge and we’re lucky to at least get a sniff. Once he’s able to provide further information, i’ll take itWhy play these silly games? Why would it be a secret to be interested in a new recruit?
There is a huge advantage in recruiting being the hunter, rather than the hunted. The longer these unknown recruitments can remain unknown, the better chance of getting an edge.Why play these silly games? Why would it be a secret to be interested in a new recruit?
Makur Maker?
Naheem McCloud?
Moulaye Sissoko?
Those were my guesses based on the uncommitted players, but it was posted that the guy is a player that's already verbally committed elsewhere.I'd say he's in that group...

Now I'll throw these names out there:
Makhel Mitchell (MD)
Robert Jones (Denver)
Jared Jones (NW)
Malcolm Wilson (Georgetown)
Abdou Tsimbila (Penn St)
Sad what Stewart has to say. Seems like everyone one of those type of kids comes down to Kentucky orInteresting article. Maybe there's a player to be snagged...
Where do things stand with the teams impacted by the FBI scandal
