Says we are trying to get him to Manhattan. Can't be worse than Diaz?Not going to K-State, I bet we are trying to get an unofficial visit

Brett Regan @brettreganJust confirmed that 6-foot-10 Georgetown transfer Brandon Bolden has committed to K-State.
I have just confirmed that Brandon Bolden, a 6-foot-10, 210-pound transfer from Georgetown, has committed to K-State. I have an interview scheduled later this afternoon and will get the story up as soon as possible.

Brandon Bolden is the near opposite player of Otto Porter, who, as you may have heard, was the most prepared freshman JT3 ever coached. As noted above, Bolden's high school career was inglorious and his motor was questioned. In Kenner League, despite towering over most opponents his positioning and footwork was terrible, he was almost always out of place on defense, which cost him rebounds and forced him to swing wildly attempting to block shots. Touch was non-existent on his jumper. On the other hand, his athleticism was, in flashes, wowing. Given an open floor on a fast break, he went basket-to-basket with astonishing speed. His footwork isn't there yet, but unlike Otto, he plays well above the rim. His dunks were ferocious whereas even Otto's breakaway dunks lack force.
Worst Case Scenario:Bolden ends up on the 2012-13 highlights reel with a few huge dunks in garbage time against Liberty and Towson. Bolden remains a project and despite his athleticism, looks years away from have the discipline on defense or the form on offense to a positive contributor on a Big East contender.
Great an even shittier JO.
I got excited at first when I saw he was from Georgetown and looked at all of his offers, but after reading up, it sounds like he was a major bust. Like we're transferring in Wally2.0
