Impressive!! Should I go check out highlight videos or is he more than likely heading somewhere else?
UK was on him before anybody. Dudes probably going to UK.

I can’t stop laughing. Good Gawd that’s hilarious!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The guy at the park that’s jumping up grabbing the rim with ease that both captains want to pick up for their team then...can’t score one damn 🪣 bucket.
That’s what I like to hear. I’ve saw his name brought up on here but never checked him out. Will be doing so now tho!
Got a video of him shooting free throws? Asking for a friend.
Earl “Goat” Manigault.
And there’s a movie about his legend starring Don Cheadle. Pretty good too.
But can he hit a jump shot?
If you have noticed over the years, Cal doesn't care much about shooting; he is into stars. If he is fast, jumps high, and has 5 stars, Cal wants him.
This is a new one. 😎
This isn’t the guy to bag on. He can actually play the game.
I know nothing about the player which is the reason why my comment is aimed at Cal. Even if the kid couldn't play, I wouldn't criticize the kid because Cal recruited and signed him.
You don't have to hear it. You can believe what your eyes have been seeing on the court.
Could have been Earl Manigault. I get them mixed up. There was a story about Herman’s jumping ability. In one game the man he was guarding got into the lane and faked a shot. Herman jumped so high to block it the guy got called for 3 seconds waiting for him to come down. There were some great stories from those old leagues.
Naw, I finally found it. The guys name was David Thompson. He was a freak of a jumper. That said after a bit of research, I think it was an urban legend, though no doubt he could skywalk with the best of them.
I’m guessing that if it was ever done, Wilt the Stilt would have been the only one. Wilt was an unimaginable athlete for someone of his stature. At the 5 spot, he really has had no equal to this day.
I once scored 47 on the Portland Trailblazers, while only using my left hand. And not getting my head anywhere near the rim. Maybe some of those Rupp Rafters Experts know their shit?

Larry talked more sh!t than a radio. And then he backed up every word.
Legend has it Wilt Chamberlain could take a dollar bill off of the top of the backboard and leave a quarter change
No, I just did some checking. It was Herman. David Thompson played there but as far as I can see he was not part of the folklore. He played at NC State and had a 44” vertical. Earl Manigault used to take paper cups off the top of the backboard. He would pay kids to climb the pole and put them up there. Then he would jump up and get them. So they say. Fun to read about.
Sharpe is way more than an athlete. He can shoot and has good ball handling with a freakish first step. Put it all together and you have a star in the making.
Yeah. This kid is a monster! He just has that extra gear. Seems to be an amazing athlete and a high skilled basketball player. Great combination.
Were you too embarrassed to give the actual specifics of what he has won with his overwhelming riches? Cal has done less with so much than any other coach in college basketball. Only a fool would deny that Cal should have achieved way more than he did when he dominated OND recruiting. If that wasn't bad enough, now that Coach K and others started targeting ONDs, they are kicking his butt at his own game. How long will it take before the same thing happen with transfers?

Lets forget many of his "riches" left after their freshmen year before they reached their potential. Is Tubby or Billy G still available?
Oh, so you are bragging because Cal turned UK into an NBA farm team? How many players did he push out the door who are doing nothing now?
The answer? 0. He only pushed the Walls, Fox's, Bams, Towns, Davis etc out the door. The players you are upset about just left anyway. He never pushed EJ or Ashton or Archie or anyone like that out the door. I have no problem with the players leaving that he pushed out because they deserved it and have succeeded since. Hell he obviously hasn't even pushed Jackson out the door.
Edit: Maybe Ashton because of issues had behind the scenes but he probably just told him to leave, not necessarily where to

Must be why UK had its best 3 point shooting team in history in Cal's 2nd year. Must be why he didn't recruit any guys like a Doron Lamb, Malik Monk, Jamal Murray, or Devin Booker. Or maybe, you don't have a clue of what you're talking about.
Impressive, but can he play. Hel I went to school with a 5'7" white guy who could stand flat footed under the rim and jump up and grab the rim with both hands, but he was a baseball player not much of a basketball player.
