Dan, I see UGA mentioned as having interest in a 2017 6'6" F Nicholas Claxton from the SC Raptors and Legacy Charter HS in Greenville, SC. I don't remember his play in AAU this summer, but he starred earlier this month for the Virgin Islands National U-17 team that made it to finals against Mexico in the FIBA Cup (Carribean/Central America zone?). Since our Charles Claxton was originally from Virgin Islands, this must be his son or nephew.
He doesn't have much of an offer list now, but he may be another late bloomer who is still growing into his frame. He's listed at various places as being between 6'6" and 6'8".
Anybody know anything about him? Nicholas' twitter handle is "_clax33_ ". Charles' wore uni number 33 in Athens, so I'm thinking this must be his son. Or maybe that is Charles' twitter account and he is tweeting about Nicholas.
