Remember when folks kicked dirt on Shaka and said he made a mistake? Last year, he had one of the youngest teams in the country-- and now he brings in the fourth ranked recruiting class in the country, including his PG of the future in Coleman and an easy Jarrett Allen replacement in Bamba. Don't be surprised by a Texas tourney bid this year, even only one year after an 11-win season.

Bamba's the ideal big man for Havoc. Runs like a monster, insanely long, but also smart and with good hands. He'll be the star there next year, which is what he deserves.

Wished he coulda gone to Duke, but I completely understand, and from what I've heard Duke hasn't been seriously in the running for a month or two, so pretty much what I expected.
