As you can see from this year, dont get worked up about bigs, I honestly dont think Fred recruits centers, he likes skilled PF's (Niang), he loves the matchup nightmares they create...

I watched Custer play on TV a couple weeks back. I have to admit that I didn't watch the whole game and only watched maybe 10 min or so, but I was not overly impressed. My quick reaction is that he's not a KU type athlete by any means and on the small side. I could see him developing into a solid PG. Maybe has a ceiling in the same range as Holloway athletically, but will probably be a little better shooter.
Again, it was only part of one game, so you can't tell too much.
do you know who conner frankamp is?Quote:

You need to go back and watch the replay of when they beat delasalle mn with Reid and Jarvis. He was impressesive and practically beat them by himself.Quote:

(actually the team that did and would cause us the most problems is Mizzou which plays the same way and gave KU fits for years.) As we have seen in many of these game it causes the opposition to pull out their center and go small to match up with ISU thus changing roles, getting player who are not normally on the floor involved. Obviously I would be thrilled to get a 5* center (like Noel) to help protect the basket I do expect the staff to be focused on one Big for '14 (Sean O'Mera?), but I will not concerned if it doesn't happen.Quote:

#Cyclones Fred Hoiberg watched 2013 6'9" Emmanuel Malou (ABCD Academy, IA) & others last night in game vs Quakerdale Prep (IA) per Malou's coach. ABCD academy has another guy, Ivan Lukic who has some D1 interest. Also, Quakerdale Prep has several players which have D1 interest including 2014 Darrion Strong who attended the game vs Oklahoma.
If Frank Martin wants him... I want him. He seems to do quite wellw ith PGs.Quote:

I can't find much of anything on Malou. Anyone else have details?
I didn't find any profile, however these video did pop up from google. I'd like to preface these are a highlight videos especially made as a recruitment device, but he looks real good, real good. Actually Perfect for CFH's system.:spinny:Quote:

So if you like dunks and shot blocks with a sprinking of three's in a 3 min span take a look.
