Do the kids have to do mission trios at a certain age or can they delay them? I know obviously religion is a held to a high standard by him and his family, but im not sure if it has to be at the age of 18 or not

One of my friends just left to go on his mission trip and it is the summer after his freshman year. I don't think there's a certain age but it's generally 18 or 19 when they go I believe.

There is nothing that quite replaces playing basketball with guys who can play the game but if you were pretty good at some point you quit because age eventually takes away too much of your game. In contrast, I have a friend well into his 50's who still plays, who could never run or jump - so he doesn't experience the same drop-off.
 
Is this kid going on a Mormon mission or something? I don't follow recruiting closely but saw it inferred....would it be after freshman season? Are they one or two years?

Who was his dad?

Thurl

The kid can flat out play and height is always a necessity. We need very nice talent... The heck with 1,2,3,4,5, wings, blah, blah, blah.

Basketball (to my little infarcted brain) is... ball handling, passing, leadership, shooting, rebounding, defense played with the feet, toughness, hard working motors, sacrifice, intelligence (bb iq), speed, endurance, height, good coaching/teaching and few other things. I see this young man as falling into those categories. In some way... I see him with slightly more interesting things than DD - who was a very nice player for us.

Future... Because some of the classes are pretty good size... I do think many other people are being enlisted for support in recruiting. That's why Ray said.. "we'll be back on top - again - soon." I believe him. Kevin (and crew) - got this.

It should be a fun year with Sterling and Shonn added to the team... we should be a pretty tough out by the end. (SG, RP, Dan Hurley, SM, AB... looks to be an interesting lineup on the floor). I also believe SC will be significantly improved this year. Just a feeling....

Wow! Impressed by the quick hands on defense in the beginning,. Good instincts. I want him.
 
I don't know if it's his stroke or his slight frame, but he reminds me of a young RIP.

I see a Niels type player, which is a huge compliment. He just seems to do a lot of things really well but isn't going to blow your hair back with his athleticism.

Although they were not teammates, Coach Ollie's and Thurl Bailey's NBA careers overlapped in 1999. Thurl is also a man of high character and I sure he at least knows of Coach Ollie.
I think this has to be an advantage.
 
A lot to like in that latest video, reminds me a lot of that Bennie Boatwright kid that they recruited for a bit that eventually committed to USC. On a related note, whoever is putting that AAU team's highlight mixes together is doing a ridiculous job, those Courtside Films dudes who pump out all those awful mixtapes need to take note.
 
thurl bailey was mobile 6'11 ... his son looks like he can actually catch another growth spurt . If he say, shoots up to 6'9, that would be some prospect coming in.

Tcf's profile on him says hes already 6'8 and he definitely doesn't have his grown man body yet so I'd imagine continued physical growth is likely
 
I can't wait for the people crying over his frame, when literally all this kid will do is shoot threes.
