    I also met him a few times- funny guy.

    My recollection is that the staff didn't want him to transfer.

    Looks he had a "so-so" career at Chattanooga, although he had a good last year:

    I saw something that said he then went to Italy.

    And I just saw he is playing for the Southern Smokies in the TBT.

    So now we have our Makinde London update.

    To your earlier point, I think Kaiser probably looked like a more skilled Kaiser in his recruiting video.

    I agree with you that basically all these kids at the level we are recruiting at have videos that make them look all-world.

    Kaiser Gates was a late bloomer. I think he is just now realizing his potential. He has looked like a completely different player now that he's in the pros.

    He really does look like a different guy. He mentioned on twitter something about having lingering injuries at Xavier that we didn't know about. Like all of us, I did see some flashes (occasional pump and drive, etc) but he looks much more polished now. Full time working with coaches can really help.

    I have a feeling that Cesare Edwards is gong to be really good.
