Brady Ernst (PF/C) – JuCo

[Matrim55]

Decommitted from Xavier:



6-foot-10, 230 lb pure big man. Spent his first season at Iowa State, but redshirted w/ knee issues, and then went JuCo for a year. Has 3 years of eligibility left.

"Ernst averaged 9.4 points on 63.7% shooting to go with 6.5 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game this season at Indian Hills. He was expected to add rebounding on both ends of the court and is a catch-and-finish player around the rim on offense."

No idea if we're recruiting him, but as others have noted, there are always kids available this time of year. My guess, though, is that he stays in the midwest.

Probably a result of the Kanter commitment.

 

[Matrim55]

Probably a result of the Kanter commitment.

Yeah for sure. I hope we kick the tires regardless.

Finally an immediately available center. Lock him up. Let Cobb and him fight to start.

Send the tip to Oz.

"I really pride myself on defense and rebounding," Ernst said. "I like to contest shots, change shots and protect the rim. Just play physical and do a lot of the little things."


Pretty please - 6'9, 237 I'm all in. Check the picture below good sized kid while at Iowa State a year ago I'm sure he's getting even bigger. Need that type especially with the mindset of a rebounder/defender.

Xavier lands JUCO big man for 2017-18

Eh...while I get that we need big bodies, I'm not sure if this guy is much better than the St. John's kid and we'd have him for 3 years. At this point, I think I'd save the scholarship for 2018 when Chill can really sink his teeth in, or take a post-grad who doesn't take up a 2018 'ship.

 

[Kembacity]

come on he's white, no way is he coming here

Makes sense too didn't equate the 3 years because I am so desperate for a big. Thanks for bringing me down form the ledge Mooch!

Sign him up. Big guy with decent footwork, touch around the basket, and what looks like a pretty nice mid-range jumper.

Take it back Mooch maybe 3 years of him would be a nice fit. Some really good things to see on this video at least, will rethink this one. Thanks WhereistheDove.

Ha...I actually do like that video. Looks like a world beater but let's keep in mind he only averaged 9 and 8 in JuCo.

Yeah I know but he's long, active, athletic and we know in JC the guards run the show even more than the high level programs so he's "earning" his 9 points LOL, not exactly throwing it into him all that often. I mean it's video I get that but I really like what we are seeing from it.

Keep in mind a lot of the best jucos have a ton of D-1 guys. There was a guy committed to Syracuse (Diagne I believe) who barely played in the Fla. State Juco tourney last year they were 10 deep. A lot of teams are real deep. I don't worry as much about 9 and 8.

Absolutely guards run the show in juco.

Sign me up for Ernst, Wooten, Diarra and Waters now!

 

[FASTEDDY]

What's not to like about this kid. Moves, well, very active, can shoot it.

Sign him up!

Need I remind you'all that we are in desperate need of some quality talent up front?

BTW, we cant leave all these quality white guys only for WVU, Wiscy and Gonzaga. UCONN needs to get in on this action.

We definitely can use him, real thin in experience and bodies in the post right now.

Don't forget Purdue!

 

[ctchamps]

If this kid can rap and help win two NC's it's a no brainer.

TO (2)=BE(2)>Boeheim (1)

 

[mauconnfan]

Don't forget Purdue!

St Mary's too! Imagine what Lavar would say about that starting lineup ... Yikes

 

[ktuck911]

the little of stuff I've seen from this kid makes me think of David Lee a little.... loves to crash the board I see....

Are we even sure he's white? Looks like he had a little to much bounce to him.

He got up pretty good, didn't he? As always, video highlight qualifying statement, but he looks like he could be a piece of the puzzle, or more eventually.

Can I 'like' this two or 3 times?
