The answer has come during a rewarding and revealing senior season in which the 6-foot-7 Polee has matured and blossomed into a bona fide major-college prospect, with Georgia, Nevada Las-Vegas, Gonzaga and Rutgers pursuing him.

"Me and Coach [Ed] Azzam had a talk," Polee said. "He said he needs me to be more aggressive. The last three years, he said I've just been playing, but now he needs me to perform. That's what I'm doing.

Polee committed to USC when he was 14. He is an elite athlete, and perhaps is the replacement for Elias Harris down the road. This guys is an absolute freak athlete. Once again, this is just more 2010 recruiting speculation.

I read the article you linked.

He sounds like a great prospect. Scout.com has him ranked 27th at the PF position. Couldn’t find him in Rivals.com or ESPN’s top 100. I guess he’s flying under the radar. Still looking.

A Second Look

Seems like a better fit for our needs

I love the idea of signing an athletic forward this year. I know the staff is pursuing a guard and I am sure they have their reasons but I am still not convinced. If we overload the tem with guards it could discourage some elite ’11 prospects.

After seeing Elias,

I love the idea of signing athletic forwards too. This guy would be a great signing to bump Olynyk to the “3” like the plan seems to be for him. Dower, Sacre, Harris, Polee… what a rotation…

Welcome to the Sound Pound...

His mixtapes are absolutely ridiculous

Seems a little bit out of reach considering the schools that have already offered. It looks like his dad ended up playing in the WCC at Pepperdine after transferring from UNLV. Dwayne Jr. should learn from his dad, skip that silly first step and come straight to us.

Get him

I agree with SoundPound…A freak athlete like him does not come around every year. If the staff could lure a guy like this to GU he could be a difference maker and could really help the Zags against BCS schools and in the NCAA Tourney.
