Awesome! Looks like a great replacement for Cokely. I'm impressed with his offer list and that Ehsan was able to snag the #5 rated player from the state of North Carolina with those offers.

Weight of 208 is obviously wrong. Kid's looks every bit of 240...

Good hands, great rebounder, and can carve out space underneath the basket from the three videos i saw from his sophomore videos ive seen. Definitely not afraid to bang and put up baskets and draw some fouls.

Good get, and needed for 2018.

Looks good to me.

Perfect complement to Gueye...

He looks bigger than 208.

I believe this leaves one scholarship to fill for 2018. What type of player do we target for the last spot? Does this commit mean we're giving up on trying to get Trey Jemison from Hoover?

Yep

I think he's more so Tosin's replacement, Gueye is HaHa's we haven't found Coke's replacement could be the Ga kid AN.

Getting close to the 2014 frontcourt of CJ, HaHa,Tosin, Lew, and Coke.


I hope we finally give Matt Horton a look JuCo kid at Shelton State, would give us another scholarship for 2020 (Nate's final year).

I agree, looks much bigger than 208.

Looks every bit of 240...

We still have 2 schollys left for 2017 and 1 for 2018. If we don't fill the 2017 schollys that leaves 3 open schollys for 2018.

I thought we just had one left for 2017?

I'm counting 1 left with Lee & Cokley graduating.

This guy would actually play year after next (the season after the upcoming season) and play this upcoming one in high school, yes? I've been permanently traumatized by Mike Davis, up-until-special-registration-closes recruiting,

We have 3 left in 2018

I think we get another big and two guards.

Can we just nickname him Chewbacca and roar every time he does something good?

That's a very good commitment. Kudos to Ehsan and the coaching staff.

Really liking this class.

He gets knocked down but he gets up again.
