Subject: UC recruiting Agnew?

According to him UC and Xavier offered scholarships? I don't buy that UC has offered especially given the fact Agnew needs to drop 60 pounds to even be able to play a Half of college basketball.360 lbs might be a underestimate for this kid makes Jared Lorenzen LOOK GOOD


Agnew Provides Large Presence
December 20, 2002

It is hard not to notice Aaron Agnew on the floor during his games. At 6-10 and 360 pounds, his presence is undeniable, but don't make the mistake of jumping to any conclusions about him -- he is a skilled player.

The junior from Bellaire (OH) is averaging 19 points, 16 boards this year through his first three games after ringing up 18 points and 12 boards and 8 blocks last year as a sophomore.

Building upon last year's success and achieving some individual goals are mindful objectives this year for Agnew.

"I want to lead my team this year and go real far during the post season," Agnew told PrepStars.com. "For me individually, I want to get my weight down a little, play hard every game, and get better movement."

The fine footwork he demonstrated in the low post during the spring and summer was surprising, as he was pushing 375 pounds. That footwork, combined with his size and a good set of hands make Agnew a naturally gifted low post player that will entice more than a few colleges.

Agnew is hearing most from Xavier, Cincinnati, Michigan State, Tennessee, West Virginia and Pittsburgh. Agnew claims to have offers early from Xavier, where he has already taken and unofficial visit, and Cincinnati. While his decision is in the future, Agnew is looking at several factors.

"For me I want to see how good the coaching staff is when I decide," said Agnew. "How they make me feel and location will be important for my mom as will playing time."

"I feel that I can step out and help teams and play a little from a forward position and have been working on my offensive skills, so that I can get more movement."

Agnew is also an accomplished shot and discus thrower in high school for his track team, and with a 2.7 GPA, he is well on the way to establishing solid academic footing.
