OT: 30 year old HS basketball player arrested after lying about age
Kid Man played right across the river from Detroit in Windsor. I'm not sure if he lied about his age to get out of Sudan, where he's from. Either way, please remove him from your prospective 2018 hoops roster.
Best quote on the whole situation:
@HoopsHypeCA @ofsaabasketball @TheWindsorStar what pisses me of more about this is that this man dunked on me.

A few weeks ago I went with my Fr-in-Law and his brothers to an Italian Men's Club event at this place called the Cabota Club in Windsor - it is basically an Italian cultural center with banquet halls etc. THere is a bar/restaurant in the basement of the center (for Italian Food/Pizza fanatics, I highly recommend going there - great Pizza.)
Anyway, I was seated at the bar having a beer (about 6 in, I was pretty tipsy) and I heard a familiar voice right next to me. I turned around, and it was Bielien sitting about 6 inches from me talking about M BBall to a young, well suited gentleman (probably a HS coach in Windsor.) Anyway, there was a Windsor Area BBall event at the banquet hall that night and Bielien was the keynote speaker. I can only imagine he used this as a mechanism to recruit, perhaps the very guy in the article.
I know, cool story bro.

If this was a guy Beilein was recruiting (which I seriously seriously seriously doubt), I'd be the first person on my way to Ann Arbor to help him clear out his office. Even if he truly was 17, he'd barely be a DII prospect.
As an aside, and I could just be a cynic, but I find it hard to believe the coach with whom he was living didn't at least have some suspicion if not outright knowledge. Everything about him, his face, physique, and even the way he moves, screams 35-year-old. I'm guessing it never moves beyond a story of a grown man pretending to be a teenager, but I wouldn't be shocked if the coach was complicit.

Sounded familar, turns out it's happened a few times recently
Once in Tennessee:
22 yo Married man
And once in Texas:
Texas 22 year old
But surprisingly, never in Florida

A 22 year old man in Tennessee made it to HS? That's 7th grade age there.

I'll get to work on that.

So you are saying JB can't offer him a scholarship???

In case you haven't watched it in years. So is Easy Money. Any movie with Joe Pesci trimming his armpit hair is comedy gold in my book.
Or dribble worth a damn, he's one heckuva teammate and he gives free backrubs and other rubs in the locker room. Which bathroom he uses is his business, North Carolina
red shirted for 12 years at his last school.......
I don't know...I'm 36 and in no way in physical condition to obtain NCAA scholarship offers. My hats off to this guy.
Beilein should offer him NOW!
Almost seems surprising this guy didn't raise a few eyebrows, being that he was only like 9 months out of HS here.
