anybody know the situation with Pomelee?

I really hope the staff is really looking at someone else to fill the scholie with, the reese kid does not excite me and there is a bigger need with the post position. A juco center would be good
i still have real questions about pomlee.... he only averages 15.7 ppg and 8 rpg and he's supposedly one of the best big men in the state? at his size he should be able to take over games, with the lack of good bigs in the state.
A guy we should look at is this 6'8 junior from waukee, his name is gabe knutson. averages 19ppg 7rpg and was first team all CIML as a junior. only been playing basketball since i think 7th or 8th grade. expect him to grow a little, be about 6'9" and average 25ppg and 10-12 rpg as a senior

Problem is that he is not a monster in the paint. He would need an attitude adjustment if he is ever going to be a contributor at the D1 level
Free on scout, wisky and wv are no longer even on his list of choices, and he has us as the only school of high interest. No offer yet, but I would guess he might be coming here.
BTW, his sophomore year, Kansas was after him really hard, so he has to have a ton of upside.

If we sign Pomlee...consider it bad news because that will mean our 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th choices went elsewhere.
well from what i saw at the dav central vs waukee game last night pomlee would be extremely outmatched in the big 12. he got totally worked by gabe knutson who had a monster game with 22 pts, 16 reb. Pomlee had 12 pts and 14 rebs. i think Gmac seriously needs to look at knutson as a possible recruit next year. heck he may be looking at him, but gabe has refused to talk to any newspapers, etc. about recruiting
12 pts and 14 boards in a winning effort? That's not a bad day's work, especially when there's other talent on the team besides him. Hmph - sounds more like to me you just don't like the guy than there was anything wrong with the performance. Not saying the guy will succeed at the DI level, just saying you're not even giving him a chance.
Here is another interesting prospect, that i found on the Rivals database. Jarrod Jones - Basketball Recruiting
Here is what I can add, and I have been vocal on the Pomlee topic for a while...
GMac was at his substate final game against Bettendorf which was on the eve of the KU game for ISU.
The game I saw against Assumption wasn't his best game, he was worked by two smaller posts one of which was a sophomore. For example, he dunks a rebound putback and sprints back on D - he then misses a bunny layup and hobbles back as though his foot hurts... He was benched after losing his cool after picking up three fouls in a short period of time.
He puts up decent numbers but my point all along has been his lack of an ability to create his own shot. Teams in the MAC let him catch on the block and usually he can't do anything with it. That is not to say he could develop moves etc at ISU. He gets his numbers from guards driving and dishing, rebound putbacks and he is a very good free throw shooter.
Secondly, don't be fooled by his numbers and the fact that he's on a team with two of the best guards in the state. Bateman and Hicks handle the rock the majority of the time. Calling Pomlee the third option or the third best player on the team is relative to how little he gets the ball. People who follow the AAU circuit around Martin Bros. have said he excels more in that arena than the HS ranks. Without those two guards his team is one dimensional and not in the state state title game. Watch the title game tonight and see Central's approach.
Although I've been ciritcal of him I'm leaning more to hoping ISU gets him and that is a 180 from previous posts.
There is no doubt he has the body to add bulk.
He could come in as Damion Staple and leave with a solid four-year career and I haven't even addressed his greatest strengths of rebounding and shot blocking.
