In more recent history Shayne Whittington played 2 years in the NBA out of WMU. His Jr year was very comparable to what AD is doing right now. He improved some in his Sr. year but not a crazy amount. And both of those guys stints were before the invention of the 2-way contract. If I was an NBA scout the big thing that would stand out to me is he's not blocking shots the way you would hope from a 7 footer and he turns it over too much. Other than that he checks off a lot of boxes scouts look for, size, length, moves well, free throw shooting, can hit mid range jumpers, plays with intensity. I'm not saying he's a lock by any means or that he'd ever get more that a cup of coffee. Just that I wouldn't be surprised if he's on the radar for teams this time next year.

I hear you...personally I think Whittington was much better than ADL but I certainly see the compairison to Big John. ADL's stats this season are probably significantly better than Edward's were as a Junior (John had Gates doing a lot of scoring and rebounding). The thing that made John stand out was his shot blocking...Very long arms, decent timing and a pretty hops.

ADL is gaining confidence and is getting better! He tends to play better against teams without much size in the post. Thought Toledo's post outclassed ADL. Let's see how he does against EMU. Should be interesting. Thank God we've got a big man worthy of discussing the NBA or P5 schools!

This was a great game for ADLR - he was at center most of the game, wrestling with either Ikenna Smart or Nick Perkins for the whole game. Smart fouled out with 4 minutes left, Perkins got sent off with a double T in the last minute. De La Rosa ends up with 20 in 38 tough minutes. There were a bunch of bad feelings and stuff that didn't get called.

Pippen also had 21 points and 13 rebounds.

It was sloppy defense and wild shots in the first half. In a previous post, I said I didn't think Senderhoff was preparing the team well this year, but he pushed the right buttons tonight, and got the team playing well at the end. The game started 43-25 Buffalo, and over the last 21 minutes it was 57-36 Kent State
