Looks like Amardi 2.0. Sign him and redshirt him during Amardi's year if he needs some development.

Never mind. We just used his scholarship. Unless we lose 2 guys, which could happen.

We have Jones who is probably on shakey accademic ground plus it certainly wouldn't shock me if Okoro left after his tragedy

It would be unfortunate but I don't think that anyone would blame him if he wanted to be closer to family.

According to ABCD Prep twitter page Malou visited during the k state game.[/QUOTE
How long has this prep school been around? I haven't heard much about it. I have learned a little bit about the quakerdale school in recent years, but abcd is new to me.

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.
Glad you added that last line - don't want to "Tribune" any more commits.

Now this kid is athletic!!! Me want...
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:

Maybe a diamond in the rough Aussie, I dunno? The RecruitLists tweet last night was the first I heard of him.

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

"Game Basketball presents Emmanuel Malou outstanding combo forward out of Melbourne Australia. Emmanuel is searching for a college to take his game to the next level."

Sorry. I am a little late to this post. Does anyone have any more information on ABCD Academy? I tried to look them up but it doesn't appear they even have a website. They do have a very generic Facebook page. I was hoping to see a roster and a schedule to see if I could watch them play if they came to Des Moines or the Quakerdale Prep area. I am glad that Iowa is getting some prep schools, which could help ISU as our good JUCO's that we have. I don't know who number 13 is in that video, but he is tall!

They sound very legit. No physical building, players staying in a motel in WDM. Sounds like some foreign players that are trying to get eligible.

Sounds like we might be the leader in the clubhouse at this point with Nick. I hope he is another one of those kids that Fred got in on early, and he blows up afterwords, but he already had built a bond with Fred and staff.

We are by far his best offer so far. He'll probably get a Big 10 offer or 2 so it will be interesting. We'll have more offers out by then as well.

I was thinking the same thing. With limited play time this year, not a very good chance to play many minutes next year, and the death of his brother; i wouldn't be surprised to see a transfer from him after this year. I hope he doesn't but it seems the most possible/likely if anyone were to transfer.
