7'2 Sudan center with an enormous wingspan and dominating defensive skills. Already a top 3 prospect in the 2009 class according to both rivals and scout, and has the chance to be really special. Unlike fellow Sudan center Saer Sene, he possesses pretty decent offensive skills (albeit, still very raw) at his age, with a soft touch and excellent hands. Also nimble and athletic for his size.

It is never too early to talk about future prospects.

Re: John Riek
Riek is looking at Georgetown seriously too. He's actually at Georgetown right now. He attended the summer league games on Tuesday. Jeff Green happened to be playing in 2nd game he was there for.
Don't count out JTIII. He seems to be pretty good at developing big men.

Re: John Riek
Rivals has Riek listed in their '08 class now:

Riek's actual graduating year is uncertain. He could enter college as soon as the semester break, or he could even be reclassified to the class of 2009. Whatever the case, Riek is one of the most intriguing prospects in the country.

Seems like he'll end up being top 5 in either class.

Re: John Riek
I thought they said that some NBA teams were doing research on him to try to prove that he was 25 so they could just outright sign him.
