according to his IG story and obviously this tweet - he's currently on a visit @Memphis

He averaged 15.4 points and 10.1 rebounds for Northwestern State (of Southland Conference) ... was on the All-Southland 1st team and All-Southland defensive team.

That kind of production should replace losing our entire roster and no recruits coming in. Exactly what we need!

He'd be a solid backup for Deandre.

In most cases rebounding transfers. If he is averaging 10 rebounds per game, he will most likely average close to that even stepping up the competition.

No, not really.

Much of it is a by-product of playing time. Perhaps if the argument is rebounding transfers in a per 100 possessions way, then it may make more sense, but coming from a low major conference banging against low major talent doesn't mean one will do the same against bigger, taller, faster, stronger competition.

The other issue is that the player will see a decent drop in playing time.

He's coming from the #330 team in Kenpom. His team was the third worst team in the next to worst conference in D1. Take that for what it's worth in terms of putting up numbers.

Again, he'd be a solid backup at the 4 and could maybe spot some time at the five.

he appears to have some decent interest now.. REALLY hard to tell anything about him, he was a 2* our to high school, decent size with no real athletic ability from the little film i saw. maybe he's in shape now and can bang, maybe he's much stronger.. really hard to say.

his numbers from his one year of D2ish play. i trust Penny to bring in the best talent possible.

19 vs OU (9-12 from the floor)
22 vs Tulsa (10-15)
20 vs SMU (10-15)
11 vs Houston (5-9)
16 vs LSU (8-11)
12 vs TAMU (6-12)
12 vs Baylor (5-13)

That doesn't look too bad at all...Haven't seen any film on him though. If he cant switch on the perimeter why bother.

Full Disclosure...They lost every last one of those games and they weren't close. So he may have been playing against Redshirts\Walkons half the game.

If he is replacing someone like Malcolm then he would probably be a really good fit...

Yeah, we see that with every low level player who comes here.

Calvin Godfrey had an 18 point game vs. FSU and 11 pts vs. Arizona...yada yada...he went from 13 and 9 at Southern to 5 and 4 at Memphis.

David Pellom was 10 and 6 at GW and had 12 and 7 in a game vs. Syracuse...yada yada...he went for 4 and 3 at Memphis.

Tale as old as time in message board lore.

Agree. Give a solid 15 minutes without gassing.

We need bigs. Bring him on.

You really feel like depends on minutes played needed to be pointed out? That is evident.

Rebounders are rebounders though. A lot of rebounding is about fundamentals like blocking out and desire to get the ball. That doesnt change with competition.

I also noted drop-off when having to play for a better team and play against better players.

If you are clearly the best player on the 20th worst team in college basketball, someone has to get points and rebounds, right?

Just look at Davion Warren. Dude liit up up at his bum school and finished this year at Tech shooting 29% from three with a negative assist turnover ratio.

True, but the size, skill and athleticism of those they are rebounding against does change and that dramatically changes the ability to get rebounds...

DeAndre notwithstanding, this fellow doesn’t look like a projected starter. NTTAWWT.

Is the MVC considered low level?

Safe to say today's timing is in some way related to Penny's recruiting.
