I'm a little surprised at some of the comments made above; first off he didn't "leave" either Fordham or Manhatten; never signed or attended those schools; and his reasons for not signing are valid; Manhatten didn't have a scholly left after to delayed in signing. I think he showed some maturity in seeking counsel from his uncle; who apparently gave him good advice. I think the Rivals profile is a bit dated; thereby explaining the different weights listed. I don't see how anyone with any basketball savvy can view the You Tube video and not be impressed. He goes hard to the basket and was taking rebounds away from taller players; his fundamentals seem okay as well. He looks like a winner to me!

He was fairly well regarded by the Fordham people last year. I'd be pissed if he were a guard, but with Martin in limbo, we ran the risk of not having any frontcourt players in this class, so I have no problem with this move. (NT) -- duq81, Saturday, August 14, 03:33:53pm
I don't often agree with Jules, but completely agree with these comments. (NT) -- Slim, Sunday, August 15, 09:56:47am
