Graduate Transfer: Kameron Rooks

[tcf15]

 

[Silk31]

I remember when his name popped up for us upon his initial recruitment...he looked like the slowest moving thing on the planet then. Let him stay in neutral somewhere else

If we want a Phil Nolan, sure.

Rooks is a monster defensive rebounder. Phil is a bad comp.

Rooks is a monster defensive rebounder. Phil is a bad comp.

4.9 boards is monster?

 

[Matrim55]

4.9 boards is monster?

In 16 mpg. Look at his defensive rebounding rate.

 

[champs99and04]

This is exactly the type of guy we need.

 

[EBonz30]

This is the type of player we need for next year, his only down side is that he seems to always get into foul trouble. Great rim protector though.

 

[Matrim55]

Well, with Enoch transferring this is a guy we shouldn't hesitate to target.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

If we want a Phil Nolan, sure.

Yeah, I would take a Phil Nolan type player to come in and play competent defense next year...

 

[Marat]

Exactly. We don't necessarily need a center to score, but play solid fundamental defense and rebound.

 

[BuffaloHusky]

Kameron is legit and in the NBA of 10 years ago, he'd be a pro. No he isn't mobile and he wouldn't necessarily see the floor against a team like Villanova but he will rebound and he is effective in the block.

What's the status with this young man? Hopefully the staff is working on getting him in here for a visit at least...Seems like the ideal fit for next season.. Great size (7' 270lbs) and not necessarily a stiff... can give u a few buckets again and about 4 or 5 boards a game at least... that along with the size presence screams perfect short term fix....

My guess is lunch

 

[CTBasketball]

This guy needs to be a Husky. Cobb can't run 15' without panting.

 

[champs99and04]

Is this the type of guy who can guard ball screens or would he be a bad fit for Ollie's system?

 

[donyell34]

Being a little rough on Cobb CTbb. At least give him till Oct. I bet he can go more 15' then. I get you and he needs to work hard.

Agreed, and regardless we have zero evidence that we even have interest in Rooks.

 

[Alum86]

Like they say......Ya can't teach 7 feet

Get him.

 

[auror]

Looks like Rooks' Dad died a few days ago. Sad.

 

[RGay2006]

I don't think we're in a position to be picky at this point. If he wants to be a husky for a year, sign him up and concentrate recruiting on 2018.

 

[Fishy]

He's a 7' transfer from the west coast.

They're probably already sewing his name on a Gonzaga uniform.

You're most likely right.

Just a thought on my end... after all we did offer him coming out of HS (according to the rivals recruiting board)

how about a few years ago... Sean Rooks... Very sad/unfortunate indeed though...
