Walker Kessler, the 6-foot-10 center from Woodward Academy (GA), broke down his recruitment for ZAGSBLOG Sunday. Kessler, who has taken official visits to Vanderbilt (Sept. 21) and Michigan (Nov. 2), broke down each school:
Vanderbilt: “I loved my visit. It’s a great school in a great area (Nashville). They have a great coaching staff. Simi [Shittu] and Darius Garland were both McDonald’s All-Americans and are great kids. So I liked it a lot.”
“They just said pretty much, ‘Hey if you come here, you’re going to be our guy. We’re going to run our offense around you.’ Similar to how they did with Luke Kornet.
Michigan: “Pretty much the same as Vanderbilt. It’s a great school with a great atmosphere. The coaching staff is great. They had the same pitch, but this time with Mo Wagner. That’s who they said I would play like and who they would run their offense through.”
Kessler will take his third official visit to Virginia next month (Jan. 5). He broke down his thoughts on Virginia.
“Obviously, they’re probably going to be a final four team this year,” said Kessler. “They are a great defensive team with a great coach, [Tony] Bennett. They have great facilities and are a great school overall. I just like the area also.”

The Golden State Warriors are still favored to win the NBA championship despite the injury to Kevin Durant, per Bovada.
“Even though Durant’s injury may be a major one, the fact that the Warriors were favorites last year without him is the reason Durant’s injury does not affect their Championship odds that much,” said Kevin Bradley, Sports Book Manager for Bovada.lov. “Plus, with the strong possibility of Durant returning for the playoffs, the odds only went from -175 to -150 and the Warriors are still the clear favorites. If he were on any other team aside from the Cavaliers, those odds would have dropped drastically.”
The Warriors’ current odds to win it all are 2/3, while LeBron James and the defending champion Cavaliers are at 3/1.
The Warriors announced Wednesday that Durant suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain and a tibial bone bruise on Tuesday night and would be reevaluated in four weeks.
Meantime, James Harden of the Houston Rockets and Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder remain co-favorites to win NBA MVP honors at 10/11.
