And everyone thought we signed Ludwig just to get Derenbecker.

Silly rabbits.

I've said this before, but he does not look 7 feet tall when comparing him to the rest of the guys he is playing with.



he's not. He's about 6'10". Either way he is huge for his age

Apparently you have never seen the kid in person, he is easily 7 feet tall.

Trent better be all over this.

I hope Trent will still be around in 2016 because that will mean we will have been successful enough to warrant keeping him.

What you've read doesn't compare to what iv seen. Trust me, the kid says he's 7 feet tall when you ask him and there's no way in hell he's 6"10.

Hopefully he grows like another inch or two and then fills out. he will probably end up with some serious knee or ankle injuries if he gets too tall. He has some good skills though especially for a future big man

I thought I was breaking news, but of course you guys already know about him. Thon is playing with the Jackson (Ms) Tigers in the Nike EYBL this weekend in Dallas. I hadn't noticed his name in their previous box scores. Two solid games Friday and earlier today (13 pts/5 rebs & 12/7). A nearly 7 foot 14-year-old? Unbelievable!

I didnt realize CD also had another big prospect, the PG Romin Williams

IDK how they can determine how 7th graders will pan out but this kid is also a top 30 recruit for his age

Plays for Riverside I think. though there are always rumblings of players wanting to transfer schools but not qualifying

I meant the Aau team. Its going to be a nice rivalry between cd, riverside, and Curtis over the next few years.
