He'll need to refine his skill set significantly, but he's one of the quickest, most effortless athletes I've ever seen. It's like he doesn't even need to brace himself or bend his knees to explode upwards or laterally... he might as well be a 7-footer around the rim.
Perhaps the staff feels good enough about AM and MG that they were comfortable in ceasing their recruitment of Poythress. I kinda share the same thoughts though as you folks and will curse the dirty &%$#s at kin-tucky for "reporting" our alleged "violation" in pursuing him.
