Kid improved in everything between his freshmen and sophomore years, also seems to have grown. Freshmen year 6’7 240, So year 6’8 255 (also looks more muscular)
I was just looking at some of his pictures on the team website, he’s trimmed down a bunch. He could be a Mason Jones type of steal for us in the late period. He’s a big that can shoot the ball well, bang down low, and he has some really good size. Looks to have a Zach Randolph type of build. Also, once he gets in our program he’s going to trim down even more.
There’s a fine line between running Cleveland hill for endurance and hitting the weight room to get stronger! This young man could be a road block down low to stop teams from pushing the hogs around to get offensive rebounds.
I like the idea of getting some players that can hold their position and play defense.
A lot to like about this kid. He’s not only a solid 78% free throw shooter, but he’s also a volume free throw shooter. Led his team in free throws shot, and also in free throws made. He was also their leader in rebounds. He’s also their leading scorer. Stats seem to show he’s a true banger under the basket.
I haven’t seen any video, so no idea if he’s got any post moves or if he has a solid 15 foot jump shot. based on the picture, I’d question the 6’8" he’s listed at. I like the Zach Randolph comparison, and I’d think a Razorback comparison might be Alandis Harris, which would be great.
I think he’s a legit 6’8 looking at the team picture from this year, unless they are lying about everybody’s height on the roster, which is possible. Regardless, he has a full game on youtube his freshman year, the video quality is bad, but you can get an idea on how he likes to play. There really isn’t a recent Hog comparison in the CMA era IMO, I think Scotty had it right when he told him he reminds him of Dwight Stewart, that’s kinda how he plays. I’m curious to see something more recent, because he’s a lot trimmer and added more muscle his sophomore year.
