Is there anyone in the world that can jump higher than that kid?

He amazes me every time ECU plays Memphis. Like Lebo said after the game tonight to the media, it's as if he's on a damn pogo stick out there.

The kid has hops no doubt about it. He can really get off the floor. Now if he were only 6'10, and still had that elevation. He would be a very rich man soon.

ECU had 2-3 point-blank, wide open layups and he just flew across the court and swatted them away. Not to mention nearly all of his blocks came while he was on the way down, too. Amazing.

He has insane instincts for blocking shots. While being able to jump like he does plays into it, the instincts and timing are impeccable.
He is one of our favorite players and has showtime moments pretty much every game.

Only one dunk tonight that I recall and not many boards tonight, but a lot of blocks and altered shots. Kids a freak

Amazing. Even on what clearly wasn't one of his better nights, he helped us seal the win and came up big on the defensive end.

I wish he wouldn't bite on so many pump fakes though. I think it's too easy for opponents to get him in the air. Still, his freak athleticism makes up for it more often than not. A great tiger and a huge asset to our team for sure.

DJ had 4 blocks but he also made their shooters change shots all game long. I’ve never seen any player do this and it was a game changer tonight.

His stats don’t show it but his play was one reason we won tonight. Bad dude. One-Of-A-Kind.

Probably wouldn't need to be that tall.

Very true. And he's so HIGH in the air when he goes up, disaster awaits when he comes down.

Been watching since 73 and I've not seen a kid play with more heart and determination ... ever.

AWWWWWWW

45 blocks so far this season !!!

J, find that picture where he is by the bench jumping straight up in the air about 6 feet. The one where someone accused of photo shopping.

Insane...

He is special, and we are going to miss him big time.

One of my all time favorites and I actually caught him by accident getting Will's dunk. You just never know....and it is NOT photo-shopped.

Something really sad is that he only has 5 more games at the FEF.
