Yeah that threw me off for a minute too, but he certainly doesn't look scrawny or anything on tape.

Really like that we're getting some big defensive players in the mix too. Setting the stage for a powerful program for years to come!

This. Everyone always wants scorers and not the Dennis Rodman's and Ben Wallace's of the world, but those are exactly the type of players that you need to win championships.

I like this pickup a lot.

Looks like a great day for hoops. You can see the roster taking shape for next few years.

Now the Forwards are starting to roll in. That's what I'm talking about. Great pic selection in the article. Appropriate that it shows him playing defense. Also, those incredibly long arms jumped out of the picture before I even read of his measured wingspan. Looks to have potential to be a big time shot blocker. Sounds like he is the type of player to fit in coach Kermit's style.
