Already 6'5" as a 7th grader. Son of the late Manute Bol.

Wow.

 

[tnvols72]

Good read, I liked watching Manute play just because him being 7'7.

 

[CAVol]

Lol Oci. It's never too early I guess.

Remember when Manute strapped on he skates for a little ice hockey. That was awesome.

I can't believe a tall, lanky 6'5 seventh grader can move with that much fluidity.

That's not natural.

Probably been tall for his age all his life.

I played against a guy who was about 6'4 in 7th or 8th grade... thing is he didn't really grow much he played his senior year at about 6'5. Of course this is probably a totally different case considering who his pop is, just saying.

It's funny how some people assume a 7-footer will dominate at the center position.

Phillip Jurick was never as sucessfull as we thought he'd be either to add to your point

I did too, it was Shannon Hale. All jokes aside.

This isn't universal, but for me, a red flag usually goes up when I hear about a 7' recruit. Most of the time, your top-tier college centers are 6'9-11. Rarely hear about a great 7' center (not saying it doesn't happen though).

Another guy I played against who was about 6'3 or 6'4 I'd say was Lester Wilson... Dude is a really good player but he is what probably 6'6 ish?

I was surprised he didn't get a better offer than ETSU.

Everyone knows the kid is athletic, but I don't see why he deserves a high-major offer.

Not saying duke should've offered, just was surprised we didn't see a better mid major offer come along at some point. I think he'll be good at ETSU.

Me too.

He will be a Mizzou lock! Naw, idk, we have been "involved" with him already. As well as Tatum, from St. Louis.

Geez, I watched him I think when I was in 8th grade, was a freak athlete. I agree with BTO thought he was gonna go way better than ETSU. He dunked everything in the RTL.
