The AP has a nice story on a possible future Wildcat who is now an
extremely promising 8th grader in Michigan.

That is great and all. Our coaches should keep in touch with him. But 6'7 at 13 doesn't mean he will get any bigger. I remember when I was in 5th grade, there was an 8th grader (14) that was 6'6. Four years later when I was a FR, he (an 18yo SR then) was still 6'6, just a little thicker.

Can't even remember the little guy like 7 years ago who said UK was where he wanted to go to college and he was rated like the #1 5th grader in the country. He still alive?

Damon Harge maybe?

He's still tiny. 5-9. Had a MCL injury.

Harge held scholarship offers from UCF, DePaul, Memphis, Texas Tech and others as a ninth grader according to VerbalCommits.com, but his recruitment cooled when he missed much of last season. He said on Wednesday that no major colleges have shown major interest this summer but he hopes that will change soon as he returns to the spotlight.

“I feel like I’ll be back on the radar after this,” Harge said.

Yep, but, he only grew to 5'8" and 140 lbs. this kid already has the size, and he could be AD size by the time he gets to be a Jr or Sr. Who knows?

This kid was 5 years old when Wall played here. Damn I'm getting old.
