Lot of talk of the Tigers and Dragons trying to secure him for 2008/09.
Beastarrred the Southland conference last year with 38/14/11 per half.
Pretty much a guarantee to go No.1 in the NBA draft but has decided to wait for a challenge (perhaps when LeBron has kids?)...
Anyone heard any news on what he will do?

Heard he was training with Tigers today....Big chance at going to Dragons though heard that Gorj is real keen for him to play for Dragons
Do the Dragons have any more room? I thought the roster was pretty well set now. Dev. player maybe or is he too good for that at this stage?
Bathie has a strong relationship with Westover, who coached him from about under 14's all the way through to under 20's at the Tigers.

Yeah but i know the kid and Gorj has been in contact with him ever since he has gone across to Nicholls
He was rumored to be heading to Kings...But wants to follow Gorj and play for Australia
He would have to be development player

I'm confused! Can someone please decipher this for me???
I had a look at his stats, they are ok, but No.1 in the NBA draft???
He chucked up 17 three's
in one game and connected on 8 of them in 32 minutes!!! Damn!
Will go to Tigers as Westover was his coach in juniors

I heard that he hasnt made a decision yet and will wait to see how good he playes in this up and coming NCAA season as a SENIOR!!! But rumour has it that he has his eyes on Euro League aswell, which he could quit easily get a good contract in...
Plus he was ranked in the Top 10 college players in Handle Magazine this year as a JUNIOR and made All Southland Conference Team i think....?

Ryan's very close with Al Westover as he played with Al's son Bo as a junior at Melbourne.
He'll go to Europe if anyone wants him, if not he'll end up at the Tigers under Al.
bump... What are peoples thoughts now he has played 20odd games as a senior?
word has it for the right price he will come to Aus. and lets hope we do see some quality players come back this way and strengthen this new NBL format after all it all starts with your local team and you follow them up. otherwise its off to Euro for this thoroughbred.

Bathie is quality and would be a big player in the NBL...
