Looks pretty good. FWIW check out this brief highlight tape. Looks to be from a couple separate games.

7'8 wingspan. Good lord.

7'8 wingspan. Good lord.

And he's got a tight handle. Not just an athletic rim rattler.

7'8 wingspan. Good lord.

I know. It almost seems like a misprint right?

Kentucky offered another highly talented big man over the weekend in Mohammed Bamba.

The top overall prospect at camp, at least in my eyes, was Mohamed Bamba (pictured above), a 6-foot-11 post prospect. Bamba, who plays with the PSA Cardinals on the EYBL circuit, measured with an absurd 7-foot-8 wingspan and a standing reach of 9’5”. At his size and length, Bamba moves fluidly and runs the floor with purpose. At times, Bamba showed a mean streak, as he swatted shots, dunked on the opposition and aggressively made moves to the rim. He even showed he could face up and make jump shots. While Bamba has made advancements to his game in the last six months, his best days are certainly ahead. Bamba picked up scholarship offers from Kentucky and Missouri following camp. Duke also put in an initial call to show interest.
