    if his vertical was about 8 inches higher and if he had about 30 pounds more of muscle then he would be the white dwight howard.

    I saw the Rucker park all-star game for high-school recruits on ESPN and he stole the show when he was in the game. He is very athletic for a legit 7-footer. The most memorable play was where he took a lob pass in mid-air with one hand then threw down.

    Yes, he's basically like a white Dwight Howard :D

    After watching the vid, I think he needs to work on not bringing the ball down to guard level so much. Otherwise, he looks good against his competition.

    Going to Ohio St. Looks like they'll be back on top of the Big 10 next year. He's playing in the upcoming McDonald's game.

    Yeah, he looks good. But he's going to Ohio State, which means that he will run through the regular season before getting exposed by some SEC school in the tourney.

    You know what I like about him? He plays big......and is a back to the basket type of post player......which is a rarity nowadays.

    calling him white dwight howard inherently means he's less athletic than dwight......

    He's playing in the Mcdonald's All American Game right now-or as I like to call it the Allstar -game -with -even- less -defense.
