I saw his number "watching" lots of plays on both ends. He didn't seem to be mixing it up much. Do they just run a "spread" offense (and defense)?

You can't tell much from these "highlights". You would need to watch the entire game to see what he is doing. They don't really show anything on D except a couple of blocks but Ejim is supposedly a tough defender and great rebounder.

This doesn't look like very organized basketball to me. It looks like a lot of really good athletes playing on natural talent.

How many players in this game would Iowa State be excited to have as a signed recruit?

My guess is about 10 total in the game.

FWIW, the video summary on youtube said he had 20 pts and 11 rebs. You wouldn't know that from watching the video. It seemed more like a highlight film for #5.

I agree. If you click on the profile for the person who posts the videos, it appears its a student and close friends with #5 Will Barton. FWIW, Barton is ranked #1 SG in nation by ESPN and Scout.com. Ejim shoots it better than I thoughts- based on the few videos posted from this year.

They run the DDM, so a lot of times they have him as their spot up shooter.

dont see ejim much in this vid, but check his dunk at about 25 seconds... got a technical, but it was a nasty dunk..

The offense must have one option. I see 30 in blue out front on the top of the key too much. He is thicker than I thought he would be. He will need to wokk hard to be effective at the next level.
