He is supposed to be a rebounding machine who can block shots and runs the floor well. This is not one of those recruits that is 3 star on some sites and 4 on others. The kid is legit and we beat out schools like Kansas and Oregon to get him.
This is Mullin's first ESPN 100 recruit and Shamorie Ponds is expected to be his 2nd. He is supposed to try to reclassify to 2015 to play this year but I can almost guarantee he won't qualify for this year and will be a 2016 recruit. So if we start off the class of 2016 with two 4 star ESPN 100 recruits that will be amazing.
Just looking at 247 composite, which is a combo of all the sites-
Yawke is #117. http://247sports.com/Player/Kassoum-Yakwe-33656 He was #99 on ESPN.
he's actually in the composite about 25 slots lower than Lovett who St John's got last year:

I know your shtick is to try to bring SJU down a rung at any chance, but sorry he is a legit recruit ESPN100 Rivals #56 and is only getting better. We beat out Oregon to get him and Kansas had interest earlier. He won defensive MVP at the Nike AAU circuit he was in featuring some of the best players in the country. No one cares about composites. People look at Rivals and ESPN.
