AJ Hawkins (Recruit) - Signed with Canisius

[Shox21]

Is this a problem we would like to have?

[tropicalshox]

I believe so. He is one of the better high school players available to us and he looks like a future SF.

One more question -- (remember I'm still a newbie and learning) -- when it states 2008 (high school) next to his name, am I to assume he graduates in May 2008 and would be eligible for this next season?

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

yes

I wouldn't be opposed to AJ but I'm not sure that's where we're headed...

I watched the video, and I don't know if he'd have the speed.

He looks to have solid fundamentals around the hoop, and boxes out on D. I didn't see him take anyone off the dribble in the entire video, and if he's only 6'6" where is the "upside"?

I like the fact that he has mid range game and takes open looks as opposed to going into traffic. He also shows great ability to get good body position all over the court (not just rebounding). Those two things stood out to me the most.
