Re: John Riek
Isn't he 2009 though? And it seems like he has a lot of developing to do. He is just so big and long...
Let's March!

Re: John Riek
We probably won't see him this year because of his surgery.

Re: John Riek
raw talent but a wing span like a 747.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Re: John Riek
He was a top 5 player a year and a half ago, not anymore. Still potentially a good pickup.

Re: John Riek
I wouldn't be too worried about this kid for now. He has a lot of trouble getting eligible, he just tore his ACL and had surgery, plus he looks like he could be Greg Oden's dad. He is definitely someone to monitor, but I wouldn't worry about him for a while.

Re: John Riek
I heard that he speaks somewhere between little or no English and has not taken the SAT or ACT (overheard it at a bar, so probably not a reliable source). If either one of these are true I would think the NCAA would have some sort of exception for him to be eligible. After all considering that this kid is a refugee from Sudan, I would at least hope the NCAA would show a little bit of a heart and allow him to be eligible.

Re: John Riek
Biff if the NCAA makes and exception based on those factors then don't they open a can of worms?
