Liking what I see on YouTube but I also liked Zach Butler, Rodney Culver and Antonio Cowart while not liking BVP or Jay Preston!!!!! Who knows. I don't know how I feel about a Jalen White, Colin Granger, Rifen Miguel, Sam Towns signing class. 6-5 wing, 6-8 McMurray clone, 6-8 Keely-like project and a 6-7 athlete who scores.

Who is a project among them?

What makes you think Granger is a McMurray clone?

Too soon to tell on the recruiting class. Could end up that Miguel and Towns don't end up here. I like the idea of Towns though! :)

Based on his game by game stats, I think he missed eight or so games with an injury and he's being eased back into the rotation. His numbers pre time off are a bit better than his current averages. Sounds like he would fit our program perfectly.

His youtube footage shows a good low-post arsenal and legit wide body. He would be our most physical player if he were on our roster now.

Unless I missed some I only see he has 2 technical fouls on the year and they weren't in the same game. What happened with ejections?

I see one technical on Nov. 25 and one on Nov. 26, he fouled out in 9 minutes on Jan. 18. No mention of multiple technicals in one game or ejections.

Care to share where he was actually ejected?

Disqualifications can also be fouling out which is what this one appears to be.

Right, that's what I was trying to understand. No big deal here but if someone is ejected it would be worth knowing the circumstances. I'm assuming he's not received an ejection for anything other than having 5 fouls, at least not in the current season.

We don't need a jackass. Had one of those circa 1970. Don't need another one.

Let's all settle down. One poster - without proof - says the kid leads the team in ejections - box scores do not show him being ejected. Twice fouled out - and does not lead the team in that category either. Now suddenly this recruit is considered a jackass with too much fire. Based on.....?
