There's not much info out there about him that I could find (I didn't look too hard). What I did find out about Xavier's interest,
I found here. I guess Xavier is trying to get him to be here for the 2013-14 season. I don't know how playing for a professional team in Greece factors into his eligibility, but I'm guessing (or at least hoping) Mack looked into it before taking the plane ride over there.

What is the schollie situation for next year? I thought we were full with teh additions of Richards and Randolph. Does this indicate that we're expecting to see someone depart? You dont make a trip to Greece in the middle of the season unless you are prepared to offer a scholarship if you like what you see. And, you dont offer a scholarship unless you have one available....
As far as playing on a pro team, I'm pretty sure that it generally results in ineligibility, but again there must be something that Mack knows about the circumstances or he wouldn't bother going. Is it possible to play on a "pro" team but not get paid? Would that confirm the ameteur status?

Has X ever picked up a player from Europe? Or directly from any country outside the US? (I know that Sato, for example, came and played in the US in high school before committing to X)

The Muskies need their own Manu.
I wonder how Mack found out about him, or even how you would know one of these kids is interested in US college instead of European pro ball.
Maybe our guys who play in Europe keep an eye out and send messages back....he went up late, and I was already up there.
