Gangly but good coordination.
He should choose either Maryland or Notre Dame.

(16,113 posts)7'5" is certainly nothing to sneeze at, but a bulky 7 footer should be able to push him around pretty easily.

(36,444 posts)It might be prudent to let him finish growing up before they grow him out. Let the kid develop keen agility skills to match his height before putting on the bulk mussels that males start developing naturally in their twenties. Hell, 7'1', Kareem Abdul-Jabbar weighed a wimpy 225 pounds in college and was a formidable force on the courts.

(9,350 posts)It is not that he is skinny; it is that he cannot run. He is slow. Also, his run seems awkward. It is great to be tall in basketball, but a number of 7 ft.+ players can also run at least a bit. This kid does not seem to have the ability to keep up with any of the players. Unless he can learn to run he will have problems when he starts playing against players closer to his size.

However, he does look like he could hide behind a microphone stand.
