Montrezl's Rivals page is now indicating he has an offer from X.

Not a lot on YouTube, but the there is one short vid, and he looks naturally big and athletic.

Dunk Master Flexes

Before playing in the ScoutsFocus Elite 80, Montrezl Harrell said that his all-time high for dunks in a game was eight.

“That seemed like a lot at the time,” said Harrell, a junior forward at North Edgecombe (Tarboro, N.C.).

But in his first game of the day, Harrell nearly doubled that with 15 dunks in route to 34 points and a win.

“Some players don’t like to be known for just dunking,” Harrell said. “I definitely do more than dunk, but I don’t mind if people know me for that. Not at all. That’s what I do.”

A few weeks old, but..

Carolinas' best players get to showcase their talent


North Carolina's juniors won the 2012 game 76-64 behind Montrezl Harrell (North Edgecombe) with 16 points and Jarvis Haywood's (Waddell) 11.

Harrell, who is being recruited by Wake Forest, South Carolina and Xavier, scored all but two points in the second half to lead the rally.

"I think it's important to get off to a good start because if you're just playing around and trying to go for self that'll stick to you through the season," he said. "College coaches aren't looking for players who go out for self, so when I go to these events, I try to be a good teammate and play hard all the time."

Harrell, a 6-foot-6 forward, was a good teammate by finishing at the rim on several breakaway dunks to key North Carolina's stretch drive. Showing off athletic skills, he said, is part of the recruiting process.

"It's always important to show your game because you never know who's going to be watching," he said. "It's best to play hard all the time."

I guess he liked the idea of being on the bubble every year...

RT @scoutsfocus: Montrezl Harrell, Virginia Tech's top signee, will "probably" seek his release according to his Father.

[smileyy]

Anyone who commited to Va. Tech and Greenberg has already been showing poor decision making.

Did he pass our new Wonderlic test for niceness?

Is that the one where he goes to Dana's and gets punched (or not)?

[GIMMFD]

You think we have a realistic shot at getting him though?

Evan Daniels was tweeting how he thinks UK will offer him so my guess would be no if that ends up true.

He's going to leave even though Johnson was offered the Head Coaching job?
