hhcmatt 10,740 Report post Posted October 23, 2018 POST PLAYER ALERT 6'8" and varies in weight depending on the year but probably around 240. Had Northwestern looks already so this screams Armon Gates. Holds offers from Penn St, Xavier among others. I enjoyed him trucking some poor kid at the :20 second mark 1 thrasher31 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hhcmatt 10,740 Report post Posted October 23, 2018 Also thanks to the new rules you get to have a lot more officials now. I'm not sure this guy ever steps foot on our campus without the rule change and guys don't sign here sight unseen. 1 mwm89 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norm Peterson 8,703 Report post Posted October 23, 2018 Serious point: Fat guys who are quick usually have really soft hands, which this guy appears to have. Be nice to see him grow another inch or two. He has more refined skill as a sophomore in HS (which is what he is in the video) than Jordy did as a sophomore in college. (That's Jordy's fault, btw.) 2 thrasher31 and Vinny reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cjbowbros 154 Report post Posted October 27, 2018 I was concerned about the 6’8” part but he’s a big enough guy to be a center. At this point our scholarship situation would say it’s him or Ben not him and Ben and I would doubt we get either at this point so it’s not likely a problem. From his video though this guy clearly likes his right hand more than his left. 1 Norm Peterson reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khoock 1,211 Report post Posted October 27, 2018 Disagree. I think they are definitely going for both and you kind of need both tbh. People are going to leave regardless. Whether its the obvious ones, suprising departures, or even kids decommitting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But that’s going to be incredibly unlikely and even less likely once one of them commits. Plus if you’re going for or get a center in 2019 which seems fairly likely because we really need one that’s another scholarship our third big man in two years and you’d have to assume wings/guards are leaving to open those spots unless Brady leaves. On top of that we’ve never oversigned a class even by one player in the Miles era and if Roby leaves you could see 2 more players sign in 2019 putting us 4 spots over.

Probably not. But, from the coaches perspective, I dont think they are thinking either/or. I think they take both if the opportunity presented itself. As to over signing, I am not too worried. These 2020 kids wont be able to sign for another 12+ months. We will have room by then. 1 thrasher31 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We've done an amazing job getting an early start for 2019 and 2020. Doesn't change our past issues though. And am worried that some of those past issues haunt us this year and the future.
