Has ISU ever had a 7 footer that amounted to anything? All I can think of are Skoglund and that Chris Alexander guy that was only here for like a semester. Maybe there was another guy from New Zealand or something that rode the bench?

I don't think most are down on him, there's just not much info out there and the competition in that highlight video looked like my 7-year-old girl's team so there's not any evidence that he'll come in and be a stud from day 1.Why are some of you so down on this kid? Are you finding more information on him than the tiny amount the rest of us are seeing?
It's funny how some of you are like "In Fred we trust!" all the time. Then he signs a foreign kid and you're like "I don't know if I can trust Fred on this one after seeing a 6 minute YouTube video..."

I think a lot of it stems from the fact he's played a lot of U-17 competition in Greek leagues which is probably < most US high school competition. Although I do think he put up some pretty respectable numbers against their semi-pro league competition. If Fraschilla says he's a nice prospect, I agree. I'd rather have a 7'1" prospect/project than a 6'5" guy.

Is anyone saying he's not a good prospect?
You aren't understanding what I'm saying. Everyone says "Fred knows what he's doing!" and "In Fred I trust!" but then people on here watch a 6 minute YouTube video (because I'm sure Fred and staff ONLY watched the same highlights) and want to go against what the coaching staff has basically decided in offering the kid a spot on the squad.
