Can you point us to where in the six minute video of this guy abusing what appear to be 13 year old boys given the size and strength disparity we might see this dunk?

Ok...............That was possibly the worst competition I've ever seen a top rated prospect play against. Looked like he was playing against 8th graders. Crowd was overreacting to the dunks aswell. Those are pretty typical dunks I see performed at local Highschools in my area

With that being said, this guy is still a monster. My God how is Beilen not in constant communication with this guy trying to get him to come to Michigan? Months back he said he was very interested in UM and what does Beilen do? Barely calls him? Dissappointing really. This is the type of guy who could help put the program back where it was in the Burke/Stauskas days

I'll never forget that my high school played Dearborn Heights Robichaud my Junior Year of High School. Wheatley was on the team and was a Senior, but wasn't even the star of the team.

They put on a dunkfest in pregame warmups (even though they knew full well they'd get technical fouls called on them). It was unreal. We shot 4 free throws to start the game and went up 2-0. I think they proceeded to score the next 25-30 points in a row and we lost by over 50.

When I was a sophomore in HS, we played Orchard Lake St Mary. David Bowen and Diallo Johnson were on the team. They were also sophomores that year...........on the JV team. Needless to say, we got handed our ass.

The windmill dunk near the end of the video was nice. As much as he dominated, I think his size was a big reason why, though he did handle the ball pretty well. Just my opinion, but he could use some polish to his game for sure.

watched Kramer dominate karate against children.  That's also some terrible referee work, where the hell was the technical for all those fans running on the court acting like this was an Andone tape.

 

 I don't suppose many people have heard of Detroit Northwestern Fr. Steve Pearson.  You will soon enough.

Who designed that gym? The fans are basically the out of bounds. The viewing experience for parents and students is terrible and it's unsafe for players.

Might not need to be a shooter. If the guy is a dominant down low player, then shooting the ball is not entirely necessary. I am not saying this kid is the next Shaq, but he is a perfect example. He was an awful shooter, but no one could beat him close to the rim.

He's good but that wasn't worth skipping through a seven minute video against non-AAU/non-prep school competition. There are 10+ guys every year now that can dunk like NBA all stars.

Seems like a kid that developed early, but based on body type I don't think his athleticism  will continue to advance.  He's already filled out an pretty muscular, not the lean explosive HS types you see take a huge leap once in a college strength and conditioning program.

This is why I love Mgoblog. When I watched this video my first thought was that I needed to point out the bizarrely tiny gym, the dorky overreactions of the other students, and the obviously mismatched competition so people wouldn't get too carried away by this kid. But there was no need because everyone on here already pointed it out in more articulate ways than I ever could.
