We aren't recruiting this guy, but saw this article and it was a pretty incredible story. Would love to have someone with that type of length and athleticism on our team. The highlights are impressive considering everything. Kid's only a 3* and his stock seems to be soaring. He seems like someone who will sign in the Spring. It's wishful thinking to think we could get in on a guy like this at this time. I know it seems we will go the JUCO route if we do indeed take 5 this season.

Joel Embiid, Cameroonian 7-footer, looks like real deal just one year after first picking up a ball | Prep Rally - Yahoo! Sports

Yea his stock has soared incredibly...Florida and Kansas are hard after him, and iirc Florida parted with Rimmer in hopes of getting him.

Hell likely jump to a 4* and be in the top 100.

The author left out Florida of the schools pursuing him... Hack job.

No one has really flat out said when he'll be signing. He'll have taken all of his visits before the early signing period, so he might sign then. BTO is right, it looks like Florida and Kansas are way ahead of everybody else. UCLA was thought to be a big player earlier in his recruitment, but that's quieted down.

Wow, really impressive considering he's so inexperienced. Someone needs to contact Cal about this kid.
