He probably won't be a major contributor his FR year but with Altman and staff's coaching, he very well could end up that way.

Played with this guy a few years ago in the 8th grade.

Played a few times since then with him and he's not all that special. He dominated in 8th grade, but I do remember him struggling a little when he faced kids that had a heavier build then him.

He has skill down low, but doesn't use it enough.

Solid commit. Kuemper is soft and a little raw, but the upside is there.

I just hope he doesn't turn out to be like Andy Poling.

Played against him in NBA Live 2010 the other day. Doesn't have a very good back to the basket game. Would rather see us go after a guy that can do 360' dunks from standing position at top of the key while drinking a soda with his left hand.

I wonder if Altman bases his recruiting on
info from a forum? hmmm.

LOL at you guys trying to bash me for passing along info about a duck commit.

I've played with this guy recently and in this past and I'm just trying to give you guys a feel for his game.

Wow

My only point for you and others that say they've played against all these guys in pickup games is that pickup games and city league games are totally different than a competitive AAU or college game. I used to play pickup games with Karl Malone, Mark Eaton, Thurl Bailey, and John Stockton while I was in high school. I guarantee you that to me that game was much more important than it was to them. If I would've based my analysis of them as players on how they played against me in a pickup game then I would've called myself a lottery pick in the NBA draft and them as soft community college players.

Why was he at the bus stop then? I used to play little league baseball with his brother shea, he was tall, but not quite as good as an athlete.
