The 6–foot–11, five-star center played for Aspire Academy in Louisville, Ky. This season as a junior, he averaged 19.4 points, 12.8 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per game. Has committed to mid-major Western Kentucky and will reclassify to the class of 2018, the school announced. He has been rated as a top-five prospect across ESPN, Rivals and 247Sports.com.

I was wondering about that. But when I realized he was a student from Nigeria, the wondering ended. Those kids are academically ahead of their American peers of the same age usually. Remember Festus Ezeli at Vandy? He also had an offer from Harvard.

WKU has produced great results, but the MAC does not need yet another public university that's struggling with severe budget cuts and declining enrollment. Western's best days are likely behind it. http://www.bgdailynews.com/sports/wku/wku-fighting-uphill...

Of course, this is hindsight and they’re not alone.

Im not smart enough to know whether the MAC presidents were justified in not pursuing them. I dnot think it was the quality of their academics, but it had to do with the breadth of graduate school offerings and the level of research.

However, most schools with both big name hoops and big name academics had spent their schollies. The one and done era will soon be ending anyway, to the benefit of all but UK, Duke, UNC, and several others. It should level the playing field. Whoever replaces Saul should recruit 4-star prospects without hesitation.

Stansbury gets caught up in some kind of illegal recruiting violation. There's no way all these dudes want to go to Western Kentucky!

Albeit pretty underwhelming as alternative activity when a day of hiking around Mammoth Cave gets rained out.
