I believe that means he'll have 4 years of eligibility left. Seems like a great job or retooling through a difficult off season by our coaches.

Interesting pickup (although much needed). Senderoff generally seems to like his post guys a lot more skilled than this guy sees to be. On the other hand, this guy seems much more athletic than the JHall, JGreene, GO'Neal types. If this guy can rebound like JHall, JGreene that's a foundation to build on.

Also will be an interesting contrast/battle with the incoming freshman post guy, who does seem to be more skilled, but less athletic.

Overall, an interesting roster. Last year RS retooled with a lot of juco perimeter shooting guys, who mostly did not pan out. Now mostly baseline guys with Garcia as a mis-match 4-man, Johnson an athlete with some perimeter skills and Akeem as a power guy.

Let's see what it looks like in November.
