Per his instagram, 2016 4 star power forward gives a verbal to UK. #18 player in the class and 4th best PF.

@gametime @Wireman anybody have a good rundown on this kid? Who's he compare to?

Little I heard was he was a smaller WCS with a better shooting range/touch. Love to hear more about this kid.

6'9" with a nice jumper. Expect him to climb rankings when they are updated

Love the hyphenated name.

My buddy who thinks he works for Scout, cause he's always feeding me random info he reads off of a bunch of websites (probably Scout) says:

 

"6'10'' PF. Stretch 4. Very good offensively. Packed on some muscle and destroyed summer AAU circuit. Currently sits 40-50 range on a lot of rankings but I'd expect him to be a top 25 player and a 5 star. "

@gametime's comments in the recruiting thread:

 

Played like a top 40 or better guy this summer. Really skilled, but rail thin and a little soft at times as a result. Probably not going to be a star right away, but should be a go to scorer in a year or two...

I saw where a scout compared him to Marcus Camby. I can only hope he is that kind of player.

Jones is a stretch four, not a center. I don't agree with that one at all...

I think in most years he would be a 5 star. Not sure with this class. Incredibly deep at the top...

It's funny some of my UVA peeps are saying, "We didn't want him anyway if he wanted UK. He couldn't cut it at UVA."

 

Sounds like UK fans. :lol2:

Love the hyphenated name.

 

They are rather common these days.

Yeah, but his basically says "kill ya."
