The all-name team appeal (along with Shayok Shayok) is strong with this one.

Actually Mading Thok moved from Nebraska to Sioux City, Iowa a year ago and now plays on Sioux City East HS --

Just as an FYI, Thok has a 7-foot teammate, Adam Woodbury, who is a 4-star prospect. There was an article about the two of them in the Des Moines Register several months ago, in which they talked about possibly going to college together as a package deal.

I have seen that. However, Adam Woodbury emerged as a star at the National Basketball Players Assocation Top 100 event just this past weekend, and is now getting interest from the highest level schools. I doubt the 2 will stick together with their recruiting.

Premium Rivals article that reports Iowa is interested in the big man, but Ohio State just offered and North Carolina and Duke are now seriously interested.-
