Man, I was real skeptical on this kid, but now, I'm feeling like OU got a steal with the transfer from Southern. The fact that he times with the guards on the mile was impressive to me, but wen reviewing a 6 minute exerpt of a Southern game, it is now not suprising

First off, Honore is of course limited physically. In reality, he's about 6'4 or 6'5. He weighs 270. This is probably the reason that he wasn't and will not be a great shot blocker. However he uses his body as well as anyone in the post. He keeps a good base so he can use his legs to force his man off the block. He understands how and when to 3/4, front or play behind a guy. If he plays behind a guy, he pushes them off the block. He does get caught being too high defensively due to his activity. He's very active. He made his opponent work for everything offensively. He did a very good job of puting his man on his back when the shot went up. Didn't always get the rebound, but made sure his man didn't.
When the ball is rebounded, he gets down court. Showed that he could beat everyone down court and establish post position. Knows how to seal his man and create a passing lane for an entry pass. Unfortunately, he doesn't have much touch. Knows how to run the break and find the open lane in the break. Not very good hands. Active on the boards. Will pick up fouls This guy is worth a scholarship and I suspect he's better than some current players.
