good god, really?  I need to research this GEM.

[Hoosier2014 289]

Has decent offers: Seton Hall, Marquette, Minny, and a few others. Looks like he use to be a 2013 recruit that reclassified.

Out of left field! A 6'10 big man falls into Crean's lap?!

Awesome. Hope he is a good fit and can contribute on the glass and defense next season.

I don't WANT to be a negative nancy BUT.........  Ah, forget it!!!!!

Can never tell with videos but as long as he he's fundamentally sound, I'll take him.

This is all I ask for in a big guy. Our back court, along with Troy acting as a wing, should be good enough offensively that we don't need a big guy putting up numbers on offense

Based on that video, it at least looks like he knows how to post up and demand the ball. Might be lacking on the leaping ability but has a nice turnaround J. Hopefully Coach Jackson can add some weight to that frame. 

[KelleyHoosh 2,263]

Looks like he could be a solid 4 year player. Hope he can help on defense and the boards next year.

[/quote] Judging by how Yogi had huge biceps after the summer of 2012 and how big Noah was last year, that shouldn't be a problem as long as the player puts in the work too.

Yeah, and now he can enjoy an ENDLESS buffet to help pack on the pounds.

I actually like this much better than many options that have been discussed recently.

Very nice surprise and I give props to Crean if he seals the deal here.

[IU Hoosier41 14,465]

I'm digging the music...  The player looks a little raw, but at this point we need the height.  Let's book him dano!

Can I like this more than once?

[schoosier 3,455]

He looks a lot closer to 6'6" than 6'10". Exaggerate much? Nice moves but he's a lot smaller than listed.

[Clete Johnson 17]

I hope we git him, git him!
