Man there is less out there on him then Krivacevik. Those numbers are ridiculous, 63% fg??? Only offers are Stony Brook and Morehead State??? Something's not adding up. What level of high school basketball is Taft, the school he goes to?

He plays at the Division II level. A few days ago he scored 42 points and was named MVP of an All Star game. I think just like Torrey Patton he flew under the radar and their recruiting is now taking off.

Im just surprised he could fly under the radar with that production. I guess at 6'5" he is a little under sized to play small forward? Looking for video, all I can find is like a pick up game.

Jim ferry follows him on twitter, he must have recruited him for us at some point.

how do you average 13.5 boards and 4 blocks when you're only 6'5? that's either amazing or a weak/short league. Also made half of his 3s

had 11 and 9 in both games against the conference champ. Not really looking at that much, just caught my eye. I like what's on paper tho. 6'5'' who can score and rebound. Yeah, c'mon in.
I hope to see a couple of these kids sign up by the end of the weekend. Cupboard is as bare as it can get. Time to fill it up!

And before we criticize our signed, released, or pursued recruits based on their offers from other schools, remember that Mike Lewis II's biggest offer came from Wofford.

I'm not criticizing anyone, simply noting that it's unusual he has that stat line and those shooting percentages and nobody has pursued him, because it is odd. That's a dominant output. Gotta wonder why no one knows who he is. Mike Lewis is different, he was playing for an oak hill level high school program on the national circuit and was overshadowed by a guy who will be an NBA lottery pick this year. He was playing against the best of the best and is putting up better numbers than he did in high school.

I'm not saying he's a bad player I'm saying it's odd that he doesn't have more interest with the season he had.

Charles Barkley AKA The Round Mound of Rebound - got his share on ALL levels despite being undersized - Russel Westbrook grabs his share of the rebounds - And Maybe Malek needs to channel his inner "Moses Malone" who once said I WANT TO THANK ALL THOSE PEOPLE -- WHO MISSED ALL THOSE SHOTS -- AND MADE ALL THOSE REBOUNDS POSSIBLE!!!!

Wes Unseld was a top flight center at 6'7". Adrian Dantley was another very good rebounder, despite being 6'5". DeJuan Blair is a very good rebounder, using his bulk, and long arms.

And never forget the old backboard smasher, Pitt's Jerome Lane who lead the nation in rebounding at 6-5, and he played the point as a Freshman," send it in Jerome! " said color announcer Bill Raferty describing 'Rome's backboard busting dunk.....
