I still remember the day in Tennessee.  It was just another terrific Phenom 150 camp we were having at Phenom Hoops, as players started to gather into the gym.  Then, we start to see the size that was coming through the building. 

As weird as it may sound, we had multiple 7-footers come through the door that day, which included 2022 7'3 Bol Kuir.'(Click Here for his Evaluation from the Camp) That was 2019' fast-forward to today at Belfry HS in Kentucky, Kuir is now quickly hitting the national spotlight.

Even in 2019, we IMMEDIATELY put the big man on our watch list because simply, you don't see someone with his size often.' At the time, he was still learning the game and adjusting to the physicality but you could see the touch and intrigue in his game.' We had this to say about his game then:

'He's a long, wiry post prospect with incredible size and a blossoming two-way skillset. Kuir displays solid touch and feel around the basket, which makes him incredibly difficult to guard at his stature. He has quality hands and ran the floor exceptionally well in transition. Kuir plays with a strong motor, actively pursuing rebounds and protecting the rim with poise.'

In his first season playing this season, Kuir had an impressive season, averaging 14.1 points, 13.7 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks per game, seeing in action in 25 games this past season. Numbers like that will certainly earn the attention of college coaches.

Probably the most impressive performance he had that really scy-rocketed his national attention was when he recorded a 25-point, 42-rebound, and 8-block statline in a double-overtime victory against Lawrence County.

Even though many may think that his recruitment has been slow, it is only just the start for this big man from Kentucky.' He recently received an offer from West Virginia, a program that has been known to grab some big's with length around the area.' But Bol Kuir is going to be a hot-name for many down the road and really be part of the national spotlight.
