Probably somewhere in between.

BU needed a big the fill the middle and keep teams honest on the perimeter. Now it will be interesting to see if Coley is still coming for his April visit?????

Wow - the JS scooped everyone with this story!! Way to go DR!

I don't like that his coach talked about his ability to shoot from the outside. BU will have 4 other guys on the floor that can shoot from the perimeter. I hope he is a back-to-the-basket post player.

If he gets rebounds, I'm happy.

Made me think of Levi Dyer.....

His numbers are far from impressive? I dont get this one but I know Jim knows what we need. I wonder if things are not going well with the other bigs?

Eeek - looking at his "stats" we might just be back to trusting the coaching staff.

Any pictures?

The PJS article says he runs the floor well......so I have faith in the staff that this kid can help out right away! I also still think C. Coley will visit...but this is a good move IMO...CC is a 3/4...6'7 @ 205 lbs....we already have guys in that size!

[audacious_aficionado]

i definitely agree. WE DO NOT WANT AN OUTSIDE SHOOTING BIG MAN!!! we need to work with him and make sure he knows his spot on offense. this is pretty exciting though. no question we needed a juco big this year. hopefully he's more of a POB than a BH. this really excites me for the season though!

[dogsrus]

Stats says he only took 2 threes. Shoots .605 so I'm guessing he does indeed play down low primarily.
