First off, I love seeing us recruit kids from Oakland AAU teams. Some of the best AAU ball in the nation is played there.

I'm going with 205 lbs for the weight as both Rivals and ESPN have that - and they seem to be the most recent updates. Scout & 247sports had him 175-180 lbs, so I think that's old data. Looks like he has a good frame who likes to run. Is raw and needs to work on his post game, but can run and grab boards ("Dontay's ball"?). I haven't seen video, but between his vitals and the write-ups I have seen, I wonder if he's a XJ/Dre/King type where he would float between the 3 & 4.

Guy is a real ball hound.

Not on the reported offer list, but if the tweeted Florida offer is legit; then that's pretty impressive. If we could steal a Florida kids away from Billy, that would be an eye-opener.

Billy is now in OKC.
