At the final Four, CKS told the national media that he doesn’t recruit big lumbering 7 footers because they don’t fit his defense.
So I doubt ponder will be recruited.

I’m not so sure that Ponder is a “lumbering” 7 footer. I guess that we shall see.

We know the Center Coach Sampson is recruiting for the Class of 2026. It is Afran Diane, 7’1", 260 lbs. Months ago, Sampson used some of his air miles to meet him in Iowa. Diane was playing in the August Live tournament this weekend and Sampson was there along with a number of top tier head coaches. Diane is being heavily recruited.

Ponder doesn’t even look that good, just big. Ain’t nobody impressed by him taking the red headed Jabba the Hut off the dribble.

Isn’t this the kid who had a clip go viral because he told the mother of a player on the other team to STFU?

Edit: found the link to the video
