Subject: Olivier Rieux - 7' 7" Center Author: NUSuperfan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Wednesday, August 30, 11:00:55pm Author Host/IP: fl-67-233-140-154.dhcp.embarqhsd.net/67.233.140.154 He's a basketball player from Montreal, who is currently at IMG where he is developing his coordination and game. He is actually 7' 7 1/2 " tall. He wants to play in the USA at an NCAA program. He has played for Team Quebec and Team Canada. He just turned 17. He might be worth GPs looking into.

I sent an e-mail notice to the NU coaching staff about the kid. Maybe they know about him, maybe they don't, but it didn't hurt to alert the staff about him. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Even though the coaching staff may be well versed on this player, they always welcome interest in the team and in recruiting. To them it shows that there is interest out there for the program, and they do not discard any suggestion brought to their attention. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Some of us saw him play. I rate him as the 3rd best recruit in Niagara history behind Murph and Leaks, and that's saying something given Niagara's rich early basketball history. Unfortunately, as some of us know Garry ended up in prison before he ever reached his senior season. But he was a scorers scorer. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

For example, Duke has 15 players on their roster and 8 of them are 6'9" or taller. That's why mid-majors can't get bigs. If they can play, they go to the big 5 conferences.

If they just want to tell their friends and families that they are on the Duke roster, good for them. But when you're a high major OR high mid-major kid, you want to play basketball NOT sit on the end of the bench. And that's what happened to me ! If I had gone to Niagara or some of the other programs that offered me, I would have been a starter. The problem was that I loved the school, it had my major, and all I had to do was show to practice. What did I get: a full scholarship, tuition & room and board, etc.. But I wasn't use to not playing, so game days were not fun, for the most part, even when we won. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
