6'7 power forward and a 3.57 GPA? Now that's what I call BU material...

I read this article earlier but really don't know much about him......but BU would be a good education! And a real power forward would also be nice to have!
Video...

Seems like he'd be a 3/4 type of guy, rather than a straight up PF-- we have had a lot of those types of guys, but he looks very aggressive in that video and aggression is something you can't teach. Take a look... I'd hate to see him end up at SIU and go all Randal Falker on us.Comment

I watched him play in the tournament of champions over thanksgiving and this kid can play! I would love to see him in a BU uniform. He goes hard to the boards and I think he could definitely start as a freshman in the Valley.Go small or go home!Comment

I really doubt BU could get him....he is too good....*sigh*Comment

Any new news on Siakam and where he's thinking to go? Provided the secret big will sign this guy could be a really nice pickup.Comment
-
He is looking for a great academic institution and an opportunity to play immediately. BU can offer both...Comment

Still no official release from Vandy on this....
but we have something that gets a little closer to confirmation...
The writer of one of their sports sites says Siakam to Vandy is confirmed...
and one of the Vandy players - a kid who is also a Cameroon native as Siakam is, has re-posted a tweet saying Siakam has confirmed he's coming to Vandy...
this Vandy player is Steve Tchiengang

It's now apparently official. James Siakam signs with Vanderbilt-
I am not sure he will officially qualify as a 2010 recruit, but that is what Vanderbilt is assuming.Comment

"It??™s been a busy week at Brehm Prep. Aaron Lee had two of his current seniors sign scholarship papers with Division I colleges.
James Siakam, a native of Cameroon, signed with Vanderbilt.
Siakam??™s brother Boris played at Western Kentucky. James had interest from Virginia. Illinois, Wisconsin and Marquette.
???I think most schools that recruited him see him as a three/four,??? Lee told Scout.com.
???He??™ll have to develop a little more and he can guard multiple positions. He brings a lot of things to the table in a 6-foot-6 frame.???Comment

James Siakam went to Vanderbilt - and although he was hoping to play right away -- he didn't have the talent to crack the playing rotation so he redshirted last season.
This season - even in exhibition games - he was a deep reserve...
and in Vanderbilt's first game last night - Siakam didn't play at all - even in a game that by the 2nd half was a 15-20 point blowout much of the way
...another one who maybe aimed too highComment
