Connor has also visited Kansas unofficially a couple of times, while reportedly holding offers from SEC teams. His potential seems obvious.

Poor kid was seven feet tall as an eighth grader. Probably still trying to catch up to his body.

Hey Keith, this is off topic but will help me out, since you know a lot about shoes especially Adidas tell me what you think........ I have to get some golf shoes for one of my boys, does Puma run smaller or bigger than Nike, or about the same?

I thought we weren't counting stars anymore

Seriously, with his size you have to give him a look

Coaches see potential

Sometimes you are what you are

Runs like a deer
Finishes hard to the rim
Block Master
Rebounding Machine
Deft touch from 20 ft out

But I've never watched one video so this is all in my mind. Blue Shades Baby

Can't coach size. His height makes a prospect. But his weight is such that he may not be able to stay in a Div 1 game for long without fouling out.

A 200+ player. Will be a project like Taco for his first few years. To this day Taco cannot lay long periods in game due to his inability to beat and bang. May be good for 5 to 7 minutes a game until he is able to build his body.

Common sense suggests you are correct.
OTOH, I would have never thought Skal was NBA-ready, skinny as he is.
No, I'm not saying this kid is the next Skal. Just two tall, skinny guys.

Excuse my butting in here--butt---- :-)

Adidas golf shoes tend to run narrower than most. Certainly more narrow than FootJoy and Nike.

Excuse me for butting in as well.....ADIDAS are a VERY interesting shoe, to say the least....although I like their styles, I can't wear them! I remember trying a pair when my son wanted some bball shoes....I practically slipped and almost busted my butt right in the space of about 2ft....I don't have wide feet, pretty normal width....but trying to walk in ADIDAS made me feel like I was wearing slippery high-heeled shoes and I'm a man!!!

I also feel that ADIDAS shoes may be THE MAIN reason that D Rose is having soo many injuries.......they are DANGEROUS!!!! IMO

You aren't butting in at all. I appreciate this info because I'm going to be buying lots of golf shoes for the next several years. I got two young golfers. So thanks.
