Illini Zip Posted May 7, 2020 Report Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) I thought he looked familiar. We offered him initially coming out of high school. Edited May 7, 2020 by Illini Zip 1 Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted May 7, 2020 Report Posted May 7, 2020 7 hours ago, Illini Zip said: He looks better as a JUCO transfer (Averaged a double-double), but he still would have work ahead of him before he could run with the Zips. That said, he can shoot from range. He can put the ball on the floor and drive. And there is an athlete in there capable of dunking. He's not tall for a PF/C, but he is wide. https://twitter.com/mirambeaux09/status/1106583811213660160 Wait. Bam Bowman has a twin? Quote

Doesn't seem like a Big Dog type to me, outside of figure. He can shoot. Edited May 7, 2020 by LZIp 1 Quote
clarkwgriswold Posted May 7, 2020 Report Posted May 7, 2020 There are some guys with that build (Charles Barley, Rerun on What's Happening) that are mobile. He may be one of those. It seems odd that we as a fan base that benefited from a guy like Big Dog is critical of the body type of a player, but that's how the times have changed! Quote

kreed5120 Posted May 7, 2020 Report Posted May 7, 2020 He seemed to have some pretty decent offers when he was coming out of high school (VT & Saint Louis). Quote

He can shoot. Somebody has to step into all the 3's left out there now that Riak is gone. We need bigs and it appears this kid has been on Groce's radar for a while. More than Big Dog he reminds me of Wood. 1 Quote

Once Julie Acus gets a hold of his diet for a few months he won't look like that for long. She is a big reason why the Zips are such a well conditioned team. 3 Quote

That is his JUCO assistant coach in the picture. He put it out. I think I read somewhere else only 9.5 RPG, but I am not going to rain on his parade. Close enough I guess.
