Anybody who watched the FIBA U-17 world championship games to see Malik Newman, Jaylen Brown, and the other top American players easily noticed and picked Isaac Humphries to be on the All Tournament Team before he was officially selected. Any bashing him would just be ignorance.

You guys kill me with this project business, Humphries is ranked higher than Willie was. Mahmoud, Mathiang, Stockman, and Onuaku, now those are projects.
Gimme a project bitch. One that don't give a %#%#!
This young man has an excellent opportunity to make key contributions on a potential championship winning team over the course of the next four years. If he makes key contributions on 2 championship teams then he will become a UK legend. I don't know about "y'all" but my favorites that I remember most helped us win chamionships.
that doesn't sound like dunnst...there is no gibberish....

You asked not sure why he is getting the project label/ I told you why
/end of thread
I don't agree with it by that is why
No need to post a name of a good white player.
We've never had black projects (Mike Williams, Shegari, Jules Camara), just white ones.
What are you talking about i love Woo thought he was a very solid player, more hating on UK guys from you which is indeed a shocker.
That's because those bashing him are basing their opinions entirely on superficial appearance factors--namely that he's a pasty white guy who doesn't look athletic and has a boring youtube mixtape--I'd bet none of them have ever actually seen him play. Unfortunately far too many supposed hoops fans today base their player assessments on crap like youtube clips instead of actual game performance, which results in an awful lot of ignorant opinions.
Fact is this an incredible pickup for August. He's a top 40 ranked, and rapidly mproving, big man who's more than held his own against the top ranked prospects in the country, both in in events like FIBA U17 World Championships, and at his Indiana prep school, which happens to play one of the toughest HS schedules in the country. Plus he fills the exact hole in our roster that we needed filled--a backup center. To nab someone like that this late in the summer is a fantastic coup by Cal.
You got me. I'm always hating on our guys. GTFO. Lucasz was a funny and likeable guy, but not even his biggest fan would claim he had much impact on our program. So, comparing this guy to him doesn't sound like you expect much.
By the way, Humphries is also the true Center we needed on the roster to be able to tell Giles he can play PF - which is what he wants to do in college. It's also why Duke is recruiting Bolden.
Don't think it will make any difference in the long run, but I can assure you it's a factor.

Seems like the topic has been sort of taboo around here for awhile, but I'll ask the question. Is Skal's eligibility still in question? Like you, I hope this is about depth not that.
Can you expand upon that answer?
Duke did in fact have 2 centers.
UConn had 3 over 6'10
And we only have one until Taj.
Where was this poster wrong?
Isn't it pretty likely that those school and coaching changes were the reason it took four years for him to develop? Do you think he would have taken that long if he had been at Uk with Coach Cal as a freshman?
I remember one Dan Issel who was a lilly white dude that was no great leaper. He did OK at UK and in the Pros. If this kid can shoot 80 percent from the line he likely has a good stroke otherwise.
UK needed another big inside player and evidently they have gotten another big inside player. So what if he isn't a high riser.

In all fairness, it's only one supposed UK fan that is bitching. Given the history of this board I'm surprised at that.
Crazy..back when tubby and Billy were our coach, this would be the jewel of most classes.
Now fans are so spoiled that they are female dogging about signing a top 40 player. Especially at a position of pretty big need.
I love the move and I actually saw potential in the highlight film. He seemed to have a knack of putting the ball up at the right angle to get even difficult falling down shots to go in. Do I expect him to explode with athleticism, no but I definitely think he can play a decent role this year and work his way to a draftable player
