Googling a little bit, that number must be something else. Shaq holds record of highest max vert reach at 12'5".

These are my favorite type of basketball players. Talk, lanky, energy guys. Bulk is nice, but I think it's tad overrated around here. Despite all the banging inside, basketball is still a running game.

Exactly. Guys like JameerKat and Taureen Prince are tough to play against.

To me, max vertical reach would mean vertical plus reach. So from a standing position, he can touch something that is 12' 6" from the ground, but I have no idea if that's what they're saying.

:wideeyed:

In today's game that's thin, but Michael Jordan was around 6'6", 185-190 in the prime of his career.

 

[GiantMidget]

Why would he sit out two years?

hmm thought that guy I responded to said he could sit out a year or two. Looks like I misread.

 

[Cydkar]

I said: Ain't nobody got time for someone who needs to sit out for two years.

wut?

Couple of quotes from these articles: "defensive stopper" and "hard-nosed presence". I like the sound of that, combined with some obvious athletic ability.

If we can't get 6'9"+ skilled big men with bulk, it's not the end of the world. We can play with anybody if we can get fast break points, pass the ball, find the open man, hit the open shots, and play hard-nosed defense.

Sounds like this guy is pretty good. Hoiberg can help him develop his shot.

I also like guys that communicate on the court. Helps build that team chemistry.

 

[Cincyclone]

Looks like a good guy to pair with Babb.

 

[CyJack13]

Ehh sounds like he's a good athlete but aside from us no real impressive offers out of high school and barely contributed for VCU last year. Transfer season has been extremely underwhelming this year so far but it's not over yet.

Yeah because averaging 12.3 min in 35 games on a tournament team as a true Freshman is soooo bad...

VCU really spreads minutes around, he only scored in three of their last nine games.

Just from his rivals page, it appears he had offers from five different teams who made last year's NCAA tournament, so I'm not sure where you're seeing he had no real impressive offers. And might I remind you Melvin Ejim had an extremely similar offer list?

 

[CycloneErik]

So he'd have 3 years to play after the redshirt year?
Sounds exactly like the program Fred's been putting together lately.

Yep, three years remaining. And I think Tillman, Burton, Cooke and Babb would make for an interesting core down the road.

[swarthmoreCY]

Hopefully we are in a position to pass.

Hopefully we are in a position to pass.

Please, share some insight with that thoughtful post.
