He played last year at Mississippi Valley State and averaged 17.8 ppg, 4.8 rpg, and 1.1 bpg in 12 games only shooting 39% from the floor though. Seems like a pretty interesting player to appear on the roster without anything in the media about it (at least as far as I've seen).

Looks like his 6th program in 6 years, and had some big games at MVSU yet only played a few backup minutes in 5 games at a CC. Will he be on the roster by seasons end?

High school:
Cornerstone High in Detroit, Michigan
Mt. Zion in Lanham, Maryland,

College:
St. Bonaventure (15 games)
Pearl River CC (5 games)
Mississippi Valley State (12 games)
Kent State

That Richmond Heights team was a really good team in suburban Cleveland last year, but I never got to see them. From what I understand they had several players with college potential but grades were suspect for most of them. Overall, however, the number of bigs reminds me of Jim Christians first team which had a lot of size to develop w/JEdwards being the best of the bunch.

We'll see what develops here but at least there is some true competition with Sendy-Christian-Sullinger all having a rep for developing big guys.

Richmond had academic issues? Coach Carter must've retired or he'd lock the gym.
