A 6-10, 250lb center with Central Florida CC. An active rebonder who scores in close. Class of '08. WSU, South Florida, Florida Atlantic, Marist, Utah, Alabama State and Arkansas-Little Rock are in the mix.

So coach is still recruiting the bigs for next year. Wonder if it's a backup plan or he wants 3 on the roster?

CFCC

Interesting coincidence, perhaps, that Central Florida is where Gene Smithson coached for a number of years before finally retiring.

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

Avg 8.1 ppg, 8.2 rpg.

29% FT (noy a typo, 29%), 69% FG.

Was a member of Florida's first National Championship team. He was a medical redshirt.

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

why did he leave Florida??

RDR is not going to like that number.....no.....he's not going to like that at all.

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

Don't know. Probably had something to do with his injury, but I couldn't find anything that went into detail.

EDIT: I did find an article stating that he injured his knee his senior year, and apparently the rehab went slowly so he transferred. He has not been having any issue with the knee.

It also said that he signed with Georgia State last year, but academics apparently kept him from going.

I could shoot better than that with my eyes closed.

[rrshock]

How do you shoot 29% from the FT line anyways? Is he shooting hook shots every time?

[moshock]

I'm glad that we are apparently recruiting some bigs that are upperclassmen besides EO and GS. I don't think that those two are going to come in as freshmen and make a big time impact on our program. Don't read into it that I don't think that they will eventually be great players but to ask any freshmen to come in and be immediate stars (besides Beasley) is asking alot IMHO.

29% does suck btw

:posterwsu:

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

yeah but 69% from the field

haha

You are so right. Man! 29%!

I just don't believe Coach Marshall will recruit any poor free throw shooters. Too many games are won at the free throw line.

If he was a 60% free throw shooter with the notion he might improve to 65%-70% with coaching and practice, then I am all for it.

Damn! 29%!

Coach Marshall "I don't want shooters, I want makers."

[ShockRef]

He certainly is a big ugly.
Are we sure that CFCC doesn't stand for Central Florida Corrections Center?
He's got more tats than the freaky looking guy who hangs out with the crack head Amy Winehouse.
Besides, 29% FT's brings back shades of Henry Carr, prior to his Senior year. 8)

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

He probably would greatly improve the way Coach makes the players shoot FT in practice. It is technique and repetition.

Improving your ability to score in game situations is much harder, and the percentage he shoots from the floor is unreal.
