This is a long shot but TJ Leaf decommited from Arizona 3-4 days ago and is a PF. He narrowed his list to 8 schools not including WSU, but you never know if this staff moved in.Comment

Well TJ appears to be about 40 pounds away from the ripped image I have in my mind described here, but that'd be huge if that was the kid on campus.Originally posted by champions5 View PostComment

While we're imagining, let's imagine this kid at the 4, Humph at the 5, Markus at the 3, Peyton and Zach at the 1/2. Would have to be the tallest 1-5 lineup we've seen in a while. (No, I'm not saying this is who I would definitely play at these positions or start, just looking at legit options for a tall lineup.)"You Don't Have to Play a Perfect Game.

Dude Zach can rip it up at the two. He can also _probably_ PG a little at the one. But only FVV and maybe two other people in the entire NCAA are capable of playing at the half position.Originally posted by ShockdaWorld View PostKung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

In high school, our team had an eight man rotation. I won the ninth man award.There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.Comment

Your longshot might be correct. This guy looked very similar to TJ. Had a crew cut, but looked a bit more muscular. Looked taller than 6'9" to me, but I was somewhat awestruck by his build for that size and was trying not to stare/stalk.Originally posted by champions5 View Post
Just saw this article that described TJ that matches my initial impression of his body, if not an inch or two shorter and 10-15 pounds lighter than my first impression:
"At 6’9” and 210 pounds, the 5-star power forward can drive to the basket like a guard, shoot from the perimeter like a guard, pass like a guard, defend like a guard, run (almost) like a guard and adjust on the fly—just like Payne, who developed into a fine four-year player for Michigan State coach Tom Izzo."
Makes me wonder if he didn't make an unofficial visit to Wichita on his way to/from Lawrence...Last edited by jocoshock; August 12, 2015, 05:20 PM.Kansas is Flat. The Earth is Not!!

Apparently the word on the street is Leaf's parents want him to attend San Diego State to be closer to home. Who knows if that is true or not. Regardless it seems he is leaving a lot of schools on his final 8, not to mention if he has other schools getting unofficials. Our coaches have been very resourceful in these situations.Originally posted by jocoshock View PostYour longshot might be correct. This guy looked very similar to TJ.

After looking at his Twitter feed, I am pretty certain it was him. His pictures don't do him justice...
This tweet says he is 6'10" for what its worth..
@RyanJamesMN: 6-10 TJ Leaf is getting isos, going past his man and then muscling through help to finish. Frying the first guy with skill, powering other 2Kansas is Flat. The Earth is Not!!

or we go FVV at 1, Conner at 2, Baker at 3, Wessel at 4 and Gady at 5. Shortest team in the conference and this is a legitimate lineup that could play a lot of minutes.Originally posted by ShockdaWorld View PostComment
