Swella,

I think we can finally put a name with the big man from Australia. I read a blurb from the Concord Monitor which stated that 6'9"
Callum Barker from Hobart, Australia had committed to Loyola Chicago. He has played this past season for Notre Dame Prep in Massachusetts. The article was published in February so I don't know what his current status is, but at least we now have a name.

Interesting. I was about to pull a jim and say that we may be shifting our focus to 2016 given that we will have four players to replace in that class. Glad I didn't!

He's on Twitter. He retweeted the Montell james sport center dunk. Didn't see anything else about him coming to play here. Can anyone confirm he will be playing in Rogers park next season ?

I think that if he had signed we would have seen an official comment by now.

Although I think Australia is several days behind, so maybe it isn't signing day there yet.

Your humor is too dry for the riff raff, but I appreciate it.

Good find Galena!

I saw a couple of other sites that link Barker to Loyola. Just how solid the commitment is (by either party) is unclear. You would think if it was a done deal he would have sent in his Letter of Intent by now.

I have warmed to Callum since I saw on his Twitter feed that he recently followed Ramblermania.

Thanks. You're my target audience.
