It would be nice to get that NY area opened up again. He also would have a great shot to start as DG graduated next year right?

I was a big fan of his sisters.

Definitely looks like a playmaker. I don't think his height is that much of a concern. If Keaton Page can make it in the B12, than there's no reason Sledge wouldn't be able to.

Nice. Dating yourself also, most people won't get your post.

Sorry I don't know how to attach it guys, but there is a video of him on you tube flipping the ball off the backboard, jumping over a little kid, and two hand dunking the ball. Impressive for 5'9.'

Is he old for his class?

Maybe his recruitment will end with ISU saying "We are family.."

Here is a link to it. Scout says he has a WV offer too. Wonder if he is being recruited by a mystery assistant since NYC has been quite for awhile.

So, are we looking at signing 2 PGs in 11 or would he be replacing Odunsi?

I don't think we're expecting Odunsi to play point. From every indication I've gotten, he's going to be more of an off guard. He kind of reminds me of JT Tiller from Missouri. Not a great shooter, but a guy that can play good defense on the perimeter, can get into the lane and can score a couple hustle points here and there

I thouhgt I remembered an interview with him after the elite camp and he said that he had played 2 guard but ISU wanted to use him at point. I could see them playing him at a two with a smaller, quicker guard at point. Kind of like 2 point guards like with Stinson/Blalock.

I'm sure he can tote the rock, but he's definitely not a true PG. At this point in time, we don't have much going for us in '11-'12 PG wise, so I'm sure that the coaches addressed this with him. It would be nice to add a true PG next year, but I'd rather wind up with Marcus Paige in '12.

Odunsi was recruited as a PG who wilp have the ball in his hands the majority of.the time. IMO, we are looking to go with a two point guard line up, considering how many other 2011 guards we are in on. To answer someone else's question, Sledge isn't better, just a different style of player.
