Callaway beat Provine 56-55.

Freshmen Malik Newman, Horatio Webster's son, had 32. He's one of the top freshmen in the nation. I hope Stans can wrap him up.

Wooo woooo!

I happened to be there tonight. The kid has "IT". He has a killer instinct you don't expect to see in a 9th grader.

What's he good at and what does he need to work on? His dad has pushed him pretty hard since he was young, I've heard. He was playing pick up games vs college age and older when he was like 12.

How tall is he?

 

[KurtRambis4]

with plenty of time to grow. He was just recently named the top player in the COUNTRY by Hoop Scoop (class of 2015).

 

[JudgeMathis]

with above average ball handling skills. 6'2 but could very well be 6'4+ when he finishes growing. Great body control and is able to finish in traffic. What separates him from the pack is that he has a high basketball IQ and his jumpshot is consistent and natural. His skills will translate to the pro game well. He is able to get his own shot or he is able to come off screens and pull up for the jumper. He isn't afraid of the moment. He scares you with his jumper and defenses generally jump out at him only to be taken off the dribble. His mid-range game is just as good as Rodney's was as a senior. I'm not exaggerating. Rick needs to be on him now! Alabama had a coach there last night. Tennessee was there two weeks ago when I watched them play. Horatio has done a fine job of raising him. I'm good friends with the Callaway staff and they have nothing but great things to say about Malik. Great student as well.
