Do you mean Randolph Morris from Kentucky?

If so, here's some info on him:

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=22101

Scouting Report
Possesses terrific size, owns a pro body ... Not explosive, but coordinated and agile ... Hands are sure ... Has an impressive low post scoring game with his back to the basket ... Displays excellent timing on blocked shot, can really collect swats as well as hit the boards ... Needs to improve his mid-range game, from a ball-handling and shooting standpoint ... Vulnerable as a perimeter defender ... One of three McDonald's All-Americans in the UK's 2004 recruiting class ... Chose UK over Georgia Tech and Louisville ... Averaged 23.0 points, 16.0 rebounds and 8.0 blocks as a prep senior in Atlanta ... Was named All-State and All-Region as a sophomore, junior and senior ... His AAU team, the Atlanta Celtics, which featured NBA prep-to-pros phenoms Dwight Howard and Josh Smith, claimed a national championship in the summer of 2003 and was named the AAU Team of the Year ... Was a member of the high school honor roll and National Beta Club.

He averaged 25 points, 16 rebounds and 4.5 blocked shots as a senior. Morris considered the NBA Draft and was projected as a possible late first to second round pick.

Did he hire an agent? This guy played AAU with Dwight Howard and Josh Smith and more than held his own. I think he also went head to head with Howard in HS and scored about 25 pts against him. Has an NBA body for sure. Flashed a lot for Kentucky but was dissapointing in some respects...still I think this guy has got a lot of potential. Very intriguing. He had a pretty big game when KU lost to Michigan St. as well.

He hasn't hired an agent yet. This guys was probably a surefire lottery pick next year. Would he be worthy of 8? Depends on how he works out, but I think he can be a real good player.

Zeke will probably pick someone more polished at #8, but will he be around at 30 is the real question. And also will him entering the draft push someone like Frye to #30?

Well, for sure that if the guys good, he will either be avaliable when we make our second selection or his addition to the draft will push someone good to our hands.

Poor Tubby, he was all pumped up for this guy for next year. The kid told him he was not going to entered the draft and wanted to get a national title. UK will stink next year. The offense was going to flow through this kid.

He reminds me of Benoit Benjamin in college. If he comes out he will be gone before the 8th pick. Unless guys start to pull their names out. A lot of talent is going to be in this draft that is high risk/ high reward types. The Knicks are in a very good position for the 8th pick and that 30th pick looks solid too.
