If he's 6'11" they shouldn't have RS'd him. They have nothing inside. That was just sad to watch.
Following potential 2017 draftees...

He might actually be taller.. He could be still growing, I've seen people call call him a 7-footer.. When I first posted about Huff here I said I thought he was UVA's best recruit and he was ranked in the 70's, and yall know I'm actually quite high on three of their other Fr. Guy, Jerome and Diakate.
He has a good first step and a good jumpshot and as I said before he can dunk from the FT line...
They toiled back and forth on his RS into the season too. Bad, bad move, I guess they're trying to create a Justin Patton type of RS. situation.

Put up or Shut up season is pretty much upon us, games are numbered... There's several fringe prospects that will benefit greatly from a strong close to the season, several of them will underperform and have to wait til next year.
Maryland - Wisconsin should be a nice showcase for a few of these players. this is the game to watch in 30minutes..
Maryland's Justin Jackson is one of those fringe players that could benefit greatly from a thunderous close.
Nigel Hayes and Ethan Happ are certainly in that same boat too (further back in the late 2nd rd fringe)

Cole Huff (unrelated to the aforementioned Jay Huff)a 6'8" Senior F on Creighton might be a legit sleeper. DX has him at 35 in their Sr rankings thats definitely way too low. I'd like to see him on my teams d-league roster. He's playing thru some knee issues too.
Turns 23 next month. He's shooting 48% from 3 on 4 attempts per game and 85% from the stripe

His stats are nearly identical to Trevor Booker's Jr. season at Clemson.. He's not a dynamic offensive player but he's not necessarily limited either.
I do prefer Cameron Oliver tho, who's a year and a half younger and also a major force blocking shots.. Bell's a Jr but if he waits another year that'd mean he'd be turning 24 halfway thru his rookie season. He's a half a year older than Exum and Lyles.

Y'all know Caleb Swanigan was a 6'2" 360-lb 8th grader in a homeless shelter in Utah..? I wouldn't be surprised one bit if they take him in the 1st. I wouldn't necessarily compare him to Al, he's worked himself into marvelous shape, I'm fairly certain he takes his diet much more seriously than Al.
thats a pic of him before he got adopted. biological father was/is a crackhead iirc
Wow. Had no idea. I like guys that have that kind of drive. It's necessary to succeed. I generally don't start paying attention to college basketball until about right now. He jumped off the screen at me... looked like a man among boys and good passing shooting. Anyway the GSW or 25 turned into him is be happy.

Yup he also could've been a college freshman this season but reclassified up a year so now he's a young Sophomore. There's a clear promising trend of overachieving and staying disciplined..
The 2 dudes he plays next to on the frontline Haas and Edwards are NBA players too, both will get drafted probably, they help him showcase so well -- Swanigan and Haas have great chemistry...
