So, it's my first Cats hoops post of the year. I think. Let me start by saying that I think Carmody et alii are doing a pretty good job of recruiting. There's a really decent mix of foreign players (always looking for the next Vedran) and US talent (Coble, Moore), and there's a special emphasis on competing for the best guys in Illinois.
But, in watching some highlights for the UNC/UNC-Asheville game, I can't help but feel like we missed out on someone. See if you can pick him out of this picture.
Yes, that's junior center Kenny George in the middle. He's 7'7", 360. I'm not doing the math, but I think he weighs more than any two Wildcats combined. He averages over 5 blocks per game for the Bulldogs, and I swear he blocked 10 shots in the one-minute highlight I just saw on ESPN. Against North Freaking Carolina!
AND he's a Chicago native, having attended Chicago Latin HS. I have no idea if he was recruited here. Maybe he's a bad shooter, and a bad fit. Or maybe the academics aren't there. Or maybe there's a personal connection to UNC-A.
Mostly, though he's really big, and I wanted to write about that!

They talked about him on PTI today - apparently he's the slowest guy who ever put one foot in front of the other. But he's Robert Wadlow long...
