Reminds me of the Enberg call of the Kentucky game of the Kentucky player who put back in a basketball late in the game of 2004 or whenever it was.

I'll take some good news...

Great addition

We have a big man, who will get plenty of minutes...he look like a legit 10-6 man

He's got a chance to be the most physical big man we've had at UaB since Will Campbell.

After seeing our signings this offseason, i assumed our coaching staff had high hopes for him. We will see what he can do at the next level.

See why Butler was a huge get.

Needs conditioning work especially with the pace UAB wants this year...

Looking at his highlights, he has a nice drop step move on both sides of the low post, although he appears to not be able to jump very high. It's a whole new ball game transitioning from high school to major college. In college the bigs play above the rim, so to speak.

Losing and hitting the weights will help him...he need work.

Freshmen generally do.
