This one is a BIG surprise to me.
This is what I posted on the Illinois board

Quote:Eyewitness account (FWIW)
It's been a little while, but I watched Alexander play in high school (Benton Harbor) a number of times with Wilson Chandler.
At that time he was a GREAT athlete and a warrior. All of his game was in the paint. His ball skills and offensive post moves were averabe at best. But....it didn't matter because he played so hard, he was strong, and could jump out of the gym.
I'm VERY VERY surprised to see he earned a schollarship from Illinois.
I'm assuming his skill set has improved a LOT. But....that's what junior college is for, isn't it?
Oh yeah, at the Harbor he was no taller that 6' 5".
Good luck. I"ll be following from afar
