stirring the pot
Random but I came across this kid from Roddy Gayles IG. 6'9 (yea ik he's not tall enough for us because he's not 7ft and 160lbs) big man...I know nothing about him and there's not much out there on the kid but damn he looks the part. Type of player we are missing out on. Big and physical player that looks like a athlete. Keba Keita. I know we are after bigger fish that are higher ranked but the kid looks like a baller.
That was exactly my thoughts when I watched him. UNC type kid who looks strong and athletic. For a kid that just came to the states not that long ago and not much buzz surrounding him yet he sure looks nice!So, no working knowledge of this kid, his potential, whether we are pursuing, etc.
But just based on the film, this guy seems like the type we won't recruit because he's lower ranked and we're chasing bigger fish [Clingan, Mulvey] -- and if / when we don't land either, we'll "settle" for some international recruit who projects primarily as a shot blocker.
Meanwhile, this guy goes on to have a solid career at some other P5, and has all the athletic tools needed to excel in our system. Oh, and he isn't a string bean. He looks like the type of kid that UNC has stacked three-deep that give us fits because we don't have a physical player to match up with them.
That class would be $! We’ve been hurt too much before!
If they get that class they would be in the top 10 within 2 years. You add them to Benny, the most talent on one team since 2003, and the days of Rony, Sherm, DC, Billy, Stevie and others.That class would be $! We’ve been hurt too much before!

I know, and the pizza and Marlboro reds diet plan, just hasn’t panned out for a current big!That's a nice wish list. But both of the big guys are 20 pounds over our weight limit. You'l have to throw them back.
Like an egg McMuffin?Keba Keita and 2 other guys built just like him (idc what they are ranked) should have scholarship offers and a McDonald's bag at their doorstep in the next hour.
