Ted Kapita

[CallThoseHawgs]

quote:
"Players emerge in July, but will any prospect in the 2015 class emerge to the heights that Ted Kapita will rise?

With a build and look eerily similar to top 10 prospect Ivan Rabb, Kapita made an enormous impression at the Lebron James Skills Academy.

The 6-8.5, 210-pound power forward form Florida who is headed to Huntington (W.V.) Prep, is now a five-star prospect according to 247Sports."

That was before he had his injury from a 247 Article. :razorback:

[Cresthog]

By his offer list, you'd def consider him a 4 star or close.

That's awesome!

[mhuff]

What is his physical status now? Thanks

Why did Kevaugn Allen choose UF?

Sorry if there's discussion on this I didn't see.

And not trying to take away from Kapita - that's big time.

[TomBigBeeHog]

Kapita fills a real need for us. Really love this pickup.

They must have an awesome practice facility.

Yep, and really big pickup. Hopefully, his grades and injury are good to go.

[Atlhogfan1]

They built one of the first many years ago.  Nolan was still our coach at that time. 

[TomBigBeeHog]

Yep, and really big pickup. Hopefully, his grades and injury are good to go.

So how long does it take to fully recover from an injury like his?

[FaytownHog]

This is the first recruit that I've seen in a LONG time where I think we got us a "man", as in "you gotta go and get you some men" before nolan had his dynamic years. As good as Portis is, even he still strikes me as thin and we always seem to have the smallest guys compared to the perennial top 10 teams. This guy looks the part!! Sign 4 more like him please!! lol

[jchill]

Yep. i think we would be a top 10 to 15 team if that happens.

Naww man!!! We will be an instant national title contender. That possibly could tempt Portis to stay, but the likelihood is slim. Nice to dream though!

Word on the street is that KA ends up at another SEC school - not FL and not AR. Hope I hear wrong!

I heard he would like to play point and assume he would want to start from day one. I don't think he would get to do those things here or at UF. I could see him doing that at Tenn or Auburn.

I don't care where he goes, he was never interested in playing here, wherever he ends up I just hope he fails.

[hawgmasta]

It's crazy to think next year we could have a junior 5 star C/5 (Kingsley) and a basically 5 star freshman C/5.

[ricepig]

He's not a PG, good luck with that.

I'm hearing a&m made his handlers a huge cash offer. I was told months ago they are becoming the biggest cheaters recruiting in Basketball, and the story with them and KA matches that.

What is the NCAA hotline number for reporting recruiting violations? I seem to have misplaced it.

[TomBigBeeHog]

Kapita? Capital!!!  :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:

Yeah...no way they should be getting the players they are getting. They have not now or ever have been good in basketball. Makes no sense. Watching their game the other night at home against UGA and the gym was maybe half filled after they had won 5 or 6 straight and on the verge of being top 25. Something fishy is going on in college station.

[farmhawg]

Another great recruit for MA!

who is #5 guard looks pretty good feeding him the rock

[swinesation]

I wasn't paying attention for a few days and missed this news. Awesome!!

Ehab Amin, freshman at Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Averaging 5 ppg.

They were really good for a couple of years when they had that point guard -- was it Law? Like 5 years ago?

[rzrbackramsfan]

Yea acie law.  I think they went to the sweet 16 this was probably 8-10 years ago.

[TomBigBeeHog]

Man, the shoulders on that guy. He has a nice frame for banging inside. This is going to be so nice!!

I can think of a different number 5 I would rather get him the ball.

Has Malik gotten taller?

Rude1, I'm assuming you are a grown man.  With that being said, no grown A$$ man should ever hope a young man fails because he doesn't choose your school.  I won't root for him but I definitely don't want him to fail.

[TomBigBeeHog]

Mike Anderson and his staff are not great recruiters espcially recruiting forwards and centers.  They know their guards, but unless Mike has another relative or another friend close to the family, you will be lacking size.  In 5 years at Mizzou, the only athlethic 'big men' he ever brought in were Demarre Carroll (nephew) and Bowers (family connections).  The other 'big men' were leftovers from Snyder's program or they were really not all that althletic or good.  He brought in Ramsey and Ratliffe from the JUCO ranks but I wouldn't really call them long and athletic.

What Mike needs to do is find him a serious recruiter and put him on the staff.  Most staffs have a designated assistant coach who is an expert recruiter.  Mike doesn't have anyone on the bench that can do it. 

Most of Nolan's talent didn't come from Nolan recruiting them but from someone on his staff.

If that is your context, then roll with it. Who am I to judge if that is what you saw. Too funny. That's grade school stuff right there.
