i thought someone had said this kid's already set a "commit by" date; any ideas on that and when it is?

Major Strengths: Not much is known about the young African import other than his name changes depending on who you talk to (not even a photo to put up at the top). He has great size and is more polished than you'd expect - he actually had a nice low post in the highlight video linked below. He definitely seems athletic, and he's a true center in an age where there are few.

Needs Improvement: Even though he's more polished than most, he's still somewhat new to the American game and takes more getting used to. Looks kind of like Hasheem Thabeet just in how awkward he looks running the floor. Just doesn't look entirely comfortable yet, but that's normal. Unfortunately, that causes a lot of other problems.

Odds: UConn has success with foreign guys, so I'd expect them to be a major player. Other than that, he's kind of new to the game right now. Could have the handler issues that plague some African players.

Comparison: Maybe its just because both are African imports, but he reminds me of a taller Hippolyte Tsafack. His athleticism and rebounding ability are on par with Patrick Patterson at Kentucky, but he obviously lacks the rest of Patterson's game.

Moses Abraham, a 6-9 forward from Temple Hills (Md.) Progressive Christian, has a case of the flu and had to skip Thursday’s visit to Seton Hall and Rutgers. He may also miss Saturday’s trip to Indiana.

Abraham attended last Saturday’s Kentucky-Tennessee game but then got sick after Wednesday’s Duke-Maryland tilt.

“He has to get better, then we will see,” his mentor, Joe Boncore, wrote by text.

Boncore said Abraham will decide announce March 14 and is considering Georgetown, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Florida, Maryland and Seton Hall as the top seven.

I read somewhere that he was in New York at the Big East Tourney...

well it's closer than coming to nashville. plus, he was considering Seton Hall and Rutgers, both schools he didn't have an opportunity to visit.

I think it comes down to Georgetown or Tennessee. I'm not sure anyone can say for sure who has an advantage.

Might be, but that's not why he is up there. It's ease of access. Train from DC is easy.

I think the fact that he is announcing this soon to his visit could bode well for us. I'm hoping he chooses to be a Vol, but have no inside info so it's all gut feeling to me.

I'm holding out hope that he is going to pick UT. Less than a month ago his coach mentioned that UT would be tough to beat. Hoping the blowout to UK yesterday doesn't weigh into his decision...
