Could 6'10 Gary Gaskins help us?

I have no clue who this is or the circumstances...

Oklahoma State 6-10 big man Gary Gaskins expected to get his release and transfer, source told ESPN. MAY be eligible this season.

Not to be a wiseacre, but I don't think he could hurt us.

 

I'm going to have to look up what year he would be.

Here is his bio from OSU.

Here's the article the 2nd link led me to:

A former Oklahoma State basketball player reported missing from his northeast Atlanta apartment has been found safe, police said.

Gary Gaskins disappeared Friday night after leaving the Atlanta apartment he shares with his girlfriend, authorities said. Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones said this morning that Gaskins “has been located at an area hospital and is in good health.”

The center from Beaufort, S.C., joined the Cowboys as a junior-college transfer last year. He averaged three minutes while appearing in 11 games before stepping away for personal reasons in February.

Looks like some JUCO at Brevard Community College from what PJ posted above.

 

• was named first-team all-Southern Conference as a sophomore.

 

• averaged 9.1 points and 6.0 rebounds per game.

 

• had 97 blocks in 31 games for a 3.1 bpg average, ranking sixth among all NJCAA players.

 

• recorded 15 double-figure scoring games, including a career-high 20 vs Santa Fe College on 10-of-11 shooting from the floor.

 

• had five double-figure rebounding games, including a career-high 12 at Hillsborough CC.

 

• finished with four double-doubles.

 

• recorded 24 multiple-block games and 11 four-block games.

 

• had a career-high eight blocks against Broward College, seven vs Palm Beach State College, and six on three occasions.

 

• recorded a career-high five steals vs Webber International.

 

• averaged 5.9 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game as a freshman.

 

• his blocks-per-game average ranked 20th nationally.

 

• received recruiting interest from Oklahoma, South Florida, Wichita State and Arkansas, but ultimately chose OSU over UAB, Florida Atlantic, Marshall, UCF and Nebraska.

Just on reading his bio I'd put him ahead of April and Priller.  I'm not real sure what to make of the tweets Hov posted.  If there is not something going on in his personal life that should scare us away, he might be worth a look.

Thanks for the info. Maybe Crean can save him.

Did a little more digging.  He played at OSU last year in a few games, so it looks like he'd only have one year of eligibility.

ITH is retweeting it to...

[Parakeet Jones 3,733]

his stats aren't that great

If he has one year of eligibility and isn't a nutcase, then it could make some sense.

Interesting.... I say sign him up if it's only one year. Can't hurt us...

[ALASKA HOOSIER 11,169]

But, what are our chances on him?

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

If he's one year, and those tweets aren't indications of significant character issues, let's go hard for him. Literally can't hurt us if he has the right attitude.

Better foot work than April. . Get him in the weight room. Ya never know.
