Morgan bigger, better.................Ohio big man Maverick Morgan has grown to 6-foot-10 and 240 pounds. It's made a difference in his game as teams found out this past weekend at the IndyBall.com event. It's also a big reason why he's become a hot target for a number of Big Ten, Big 12 and Atlantic 10 programs.

This kid is a player....


He reminds me a lot of Adam Woodbury (Iowa) from last years class.....


I think he'd fit in well with Matta's style....

Matta is not showing much interest right now............

Ohio big has caught Tubby's attention............Six-foot-10, 240 pound Maverick Morgan recently made his debut in the Rivals 150.

I've seen him play since Springboro is right next to Miamisburg and they are one our rivals. This kid isn't as good as people think. I'm far from a basketball scout but I don't see him as OSU caliber.

OSU has not shown much interest as of yet...............

Vanderbilt offers Maverick Morgan..........Fresh off getting a commit from Sheldon Jeter on Thursday night, Vanderbilt has now offered 6-foot-10, 240 pound Maverick Morgan from Ohio.

From Springboro (Ohio) High, Morgan almost looks like a 6-foot-9 version of Eminem with his bleached blonde hair. Perhaps an inch bigger since last summer, the biggest difference in Morgan's game is that he has added a lot of strength.

While the 6-foot-10 insider has bulked up to nearly 245 pounds, he's managed to do so without losing any strength or speed. He runs the floor well, blocks some shots and can face up and make jumpers out to 18 feet. Morgan feels confident that he can score with his back to the basket so his face-up game has been a focus.

"I've been trying to get better with my face up game," said Morgan. "In high school I know that I can bury a guy and dunk it when I need to so I'm trying to refine my perimeter game and my moves facing the basket."

Not surprisingly, Morgan already holds a bevy of high level scholarship offers from Rutgers, Vanderbilt, West Virginia, Dayton, Xavier, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Iowa State, Toledo and Wright State while the likes of Ohio State, Tennessee and Illinois are among those keeping tabs.

So far, Morgan has seen the campuses of Ohio State, Tennessee, Dayton, Xavier and USC and his next visit will come on May 17 when he trips to Vanderbilt. After that he plans to also trip to Illinois at some during May and eventually he'll work on cutting down his list a bit.

"I'm not setting a date for it or anything," said Morgan. "But, I am thinking about narrowing it down in maybe the next month or two."

Camp will be important for Morgan...............With as many as four more scholarships to play with in the 2013 class, Wisconsin has been busy evaluating talent across the country this spring. Ohio's Maverick Morgan certainly falls into that category.
