Jalapeño Zippy Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Both he and Loren Jackson went to Victory Rock Prep together. Might be looking to reconnect? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jalapeño Zippy Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Not comparing him to Zeke Marshall talent wise but, Zeke was a 4 star recruit who chose Akron. I was happy with his time here. To me, this is worth a shot. As many have said before, can't teach height. Get him in the weight room and have him and Mark Kostelac go at each other.

Let'sGoZips94 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 My "sources" can confirm: he's TALL. Also, I am intrigued by the potential international pipeline/relationship we might be build. Saint Mary's and Gonzaga have really solidified their programs with a couple foreign players, particularly Australia. Find me some Delly's!

zippyfan34 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I like the idea of adding 2 or so young D1 transfers. You don't need 13 scholarship players that are eligible to play. Typically we would redshirt 1-3 freshman anyways. So if we get some players we like that are transferring after 1 year of college ball and they can sitout a year and we have 3 years left with them, I am all for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was a sophomore, but I see now he's a red shirt freshmen. As I recall, those are better freshman numbers than Big Dog, but who knows what the situation was at ECU.
