Nice. Looks like he went to the same school as Chet Holmgren and Jalen Suggs.
Don’t know much about him but he looks to have a pretty solid frame, decent touch inside and some range. Welcome!
Looks like he graduated in 2023? What happened between then and now?
@dirtydale Played his senior year at Minnehaha Academy in Minnesota then played last year at prep school Winchendon, MA
He tags Darreon Reddick on both this tweet and his previous tweet on Wednesday about receiving an offer, so i'm guessing Reddick was the recruiter that landed him.Commitment from Rolyns Aligbe

Do we know anything about this kid? Other offers or recruiting rating?
He's a project, but Nagy has a really good eye for big men potential. The press release said the staff feels he was under recruited and shows great potential. He has decent handles and a nice shooting touch for someone so big. Other than that he is very raw. Needs to develop quickness and post moves, but I can see the potential. Also, 6'9" with a good frame is a nice start!https://twitter.com/siu_basketball/status/1784991362619990355?s=46&t=7s0hTttieSER8wqRSA0LoA

He was the #5 C in the 2023 rankings in Minnesota according to Prephoops.com. Darreon Reddick is the connection here recruiting wise since he was at SIUE last year. ESPN has him listed at 3*
I saw Kennard shared a video of Damien Mayo Jr. (Missouri State) on insta. Which got me thinking…have we been in contact with him at all since he hit the portal? Nice player, IMO.

Mayo seems to me like more of a Mullins-style, blue collar player but I do like his game and wouldn’t complain.
If signing Mayo helps us keep Davis, by all means go after him. I also think he is a pretty good player and experienced.
