WOW, this guy REALLY worked out for the Vols this year...got them all the way.........back home after Vols first round crushing. Congrats on such a great find, fools!
I really want to see him play in a live game. I don't want us to get too log jammed with Simpkins, Garcia, Jeff Robinson(who is a power player and a wing) but at the same time I always see these affective undersized big guys on other teams and wonder why can't we get one that can score and defend like the player Cinncinatti use to always get. (Maxiell, Hicks, etc) So this guy could be that guy. But in 09 you have Sidney, Favors and other bigs that could look hard at Memphis aka 1 and done U.
As a Tiger graduate and life long fan the only way I would take this kid is if Big City aka Big Shitty goes a head and follows Coach Kellogg. Although I see the Joey Comparison I would rather make a bigger splash in the 09 recruiting class than give this kid a scholarship although Tyreke is 1 and done. Not to mention Duke Crews has not decided on a school to transfer to, and even if we got this kid someone would need to red-shirt and I rather have Crews waiting to suit up that a kid that untestd
He is goin to Tennessee, he said if they didnt let him out at Arizona he would transfer to Tennessee and sit out a year, why wouldnt he go there now that they let him out of his letter of intent?
He will be a TIGER next season because the coach that recruited him to Arizona (coach Josh Pastner) has signed as the asst. coach at MEMPHIS last week. See you in the bluff city along with Tyreke, Wesley, Angel, and Matt as the deepest team in the nation goes at it again

Considering the fact all of IU players from Sampson are GONE next year besides Jordan Crawford, a 6'5 guard....
Know your facts before you state them.
IU has 1 big guy in the 2008 and 2009 classes committed. Tennessee has 2 in both.
It'll be between IU and Memphis, boooook it.
Plus, if he goes to IU he gets automatic playing time. We've cleaned out the cabinet. Empty slate... we'll see how well Creans sale pitch works. 6 Committs in 2 months so far.
man i love watchin these highlight reels but i keep forgettin this is high school. regardless this guy is an athlete i agree with the hassan similarities. if that is the case he will become a fan fav quik! god i loved watchin hassan and iggy oop each other evry game.
ya but andre wasnt AZ boy in college. he kinda jus played his 4 years and went to phili. he's the man up there now that A.I. is gone but i always liked watchin hassan play more than iggy. both very good players!
Emauel is a monster in d underneath the hoop and a great finisher in traffic. he is a player that must be seen, not much of a shooter tho, he'll need to tighten up on his midrange stuff if he wants to go pro.
Arizona's future is looking VERY bright. I was worried about 08 recruiting until I saw it 2 weeks ago and amazed to see they picked up the No. 1 PG and this monster
how tall is he? Im not saying he isnt good but pro? I didnt see him take anyone off the dribble in any of those highlights...They were all passes into the post or offensive rebounds..Unless he is taller than i think he is that is not going to work at the pro level where guys are going to be taller than him.
After watching this guy play I realy do not think that we will try to make him a SF at all. He and Withey are the big defensive players that we need. Jordan Hill now wont be the one trying to get every block and now these guys can keep him out of foul trouble. He will play more like a Brandon Wright from NC last year, he will have to score off of putbacks and and ally-oops. But unlike Wright I dont know if he can create his own shot. And plus, we already have a PF-SF project going on with Horn.
Let me restate the cant create his own shot... If he is being guarded by a big man he gets the ball free throw line, he will drive past the big. And he is to big for a guard or small forward to guard him so we should post him up.

Macfish you guys have only 3 big man on your roster? That would definatly not be a log jam but your chances on Favors and Sidney are extremly slim.

mattasnballa 4 years ago
I dont think he will be like Iguodala.
Andre could put up triple doubles and was great at finding the open man.
Negedu will be more like Hassan Adams, freakish athlete with suspect shot. Luckily he is taller than Hassan.
Great pick up for the wildcats.
