Rawle Alkins - SG - Word of God - ARIZONA

is this good or bad for our chances?  do we have a relationship with this school?

maybe after a year away, he may want to come back home.

2016 Christ the King (NY) SG Rawle Alkins will attend Word of God (NC) for his senior year. First reported by @ebosshoops.

From what I hear around the AAU circuit is that he won't be coming here but who knows what happens.

Word of God's most famous alumni is of course John Wall - Kentucky (Cal).

But other top players went to NC State (CJ Leslie), Dez Wells (maryland) and Bishop Daniels (miami).

Seems like a ACC/SEC choice to move down there but who knows.  .

All smiles.

Interesting interview. Impressed with his outlook on picking a school. It could align with our program.

Having never met the kid he seems like he has a pretty good head on his shoulders. Seems like he knows what he wants which is good. Seems like a lot of people count us out so that might be the case but man he would be a huge get for us.

One thing from the picture on Zagsblog...      there is no way Alkins is 6'5..   Coach Mullin is 6'6 and he has at least 2 inches on Alkins

I thought coach was 6'7. Rawle is 6'4-6'5

Mullin is 6'6  and Alkins looks to be about an inch shorter max so he looks like a true 6'5.

I think that when Mullin entered the NBA they published actual height, I'm not sure if this was available then but I'm sure it was when  Lopez entered the NBA because I remember he was reported to be 6-4 and a fraction.  and what was considered to be the number pick one had played at Cincinnati who been listed at 6-7 was actual also 6-4 and a fraction

According to Alkins' Twitter today, Slice was in NC visiting him.

I also noticed 'ole Roy and his assistants visited him, as well.  Gregory hasn't had enough time to work on Alkins about the evils of Roy and UNC.     

Here's a good pick from slices visit

Gotta love his enthusiasm for Slice.

I thought we should have passed on this kid

 If we were out of it Slice would not be visiting.Hopefully he will get homesick.
