Zips 2010 Target

[Captain Kangaroo]

Looks like there will be a long list of suitors?

I understand this is a 2010 target, but in 2010 Zeke will be a Sophomore, Swiech a Junior and Bardo a Senior. Are we really going to need another center at that point? Could this kid possibly play PF and be a replacement for a graduating C.McKnight? Aren't we more worried about finding that talented wing that's supposedly the last missing piece to the puzzle???

I guess you could think of him as a redshirt C to replace Bardo.

Nice find, Cap'n.Is this kid really on Akron's radar? The future is a long way off. Six-ten tends to mean he will be atleast a couple of inches taller by his senior year in college. He could be a three, four or post in theZips scheme. Depends on his floor speed.As for needing a great wing man, yes, that is the most pressing need. However, if Brett will pick uphis game on defense the wing issue goes away. Brett is a GREAT offensive player. He has reallygood Freshman stats. His defense is lame. Fix that and Brett is as good a wing man any team couldwant.I like Brett. To me, he belongs on the court. His defensive play puts him on the court or on the pine.The first two names that emerged for the wing slot are a big step above Jordan Threloff. That is not tosay that this kid could be developed the way KD and staff want him. Six-ten makes for a wing whocould not guard guards. Few players at Nate's six-eight (his true size) can guard back court playersanywhere near as well as Nate does.Jordan spoke of wanting to mesh with a great team chemistry. He darn sure would find that at Akron.
