Yeah, I know. We don't need any more project big men, but you can't teach 7'5"! To top it off, he's not FREAKISHLY skinny. As, the article says, he weighs 250 lbs.

WTH sign him up. Why not?

[All_Hoosiers 873]

Just stick him under the basket and tell him to hit any round orange object that comes near him.

Exactly. Even if he's a project, the upside that would come out of having a GOOD guy that big is insane.

That does suck. I think he knows that tho. He definitely sounds willing to put the work in to get better tho.

The upside is he better be a shot blocker because we already have great ball handlers! He would def plug the middle hopefully he can shoot

Funny in ONE year we went from EXPECTING Theo Pinson and Goodluck to verbal to us, to HOPING any 6 foot or taller basketball player will give us a chance. LOL.

[JSHoosier 20,310]

Tall?  Got a pulse?  Screw it, good enough.  Even in that highlight tape he was just getting by on being a foot taller than everyone else on the court.

[Hwy 1 2,053]

He'll easily make first team All-American Sweat Team.

[ashmgee 193]

wow!

 

not sure if serious, or really cynical at this point.

[Halftime Adjustment 16]

Sign him up! And while you're at it CTC, sign up his 7 yo brother too!  

[schoosier 3,496]

Are we recruiting him? Say it ain't so!

[BlueDevil 8,693]

This kid is a stick. 250 is tiny for a guy that is 7'5. Can't teach size tho.

[djsalway 4,161]

I was surprised by how good his hands were. I say we go hard at this kid. Seems like he could be a project, but he's got another year of high school to develop a little more. The hard part is that I'm sure a lot of teams will be going after this guy, just due to the fact that he is 7'5.

Hold on there. We don't want him hitting Crean if coach gets too close to the basket.
