I see a little Rodney B. in his game

What is nice to see he can score well at the basket with both hands. I like his body control. Hope his quick hands on defense translates to College.

I told you guys he was good. He was the best athlete and defender in the 2014 class, and he also led Class A in scoring while he was at it. Just a long, bouncy athlete with a pretty nice mid-range pull-up.

This is why judging our recruiting by ratings is a joke. If Khyri had played in Virginia Beach (just a random city ), he might have been a 4-star with the exposure there and this highlight tape. Seriously, look at this tape and Chris Clarke's and tell me who's better. If we were consistently bringing in guys who can't measure up, I'd be worried. But that isn't the case.

Dude, be careful, you're threatening some people's raison d'etre.

I don't think anyone on this board regards ranking services and their opinions as sacred text. It's just that from a point of statistics and data, teams that find the most success in college basketball land, on average, higher rated recruits than the teams that don't have success. In statistics, there are outliers. It's becoming clear that Khyri is such an outlier, for whatever reason (academic ineligibility, location, late bloomer?). Credit is due to our coaching staff for being able to pick out his talent in somewhat of a vacuum.

Khyri will make you forget the name Brice Nengsu.

[AttyAlum]

I think it is time to restore the dunk contest to Bluejay Madness.

Who is Brice Nengsu?

Who is Brice Nengsu?

The guy who was supposed to make us forget Rodney Buford.
