Payton Sparks Transfer C

That makes me wonder if the horse listened once Art got his attention.

The Enquirer headlines..... " Art Long plays a different type of Horse".... That was actually funny!

UC, again, mentioned as having contacted Sparks but not much more and not among the handful of schools he said have showed "serious interest"

Similar size to Oguama. Led the MAC in fouls drawn per 40 and FT rate. Was a 70% foul shooter. Had a good rebounding rate. Shot over 50% from 2. So those skills might translate with all the normal caveats. He’s definitely a post player.

He's huskier than Oguama, and from watching video he's got good hands up close. Our collective group this year had the worst hands for big kids I've ever seen. The other reason I like this guy is by all accounts he's really improved the past several years. Seems to work hard. He'll be hard to land though as a lot of folks are looking for a guy like this.
