We saw him last month, but it's not clear if we've offered:
He's a 6-foot-7, 230 lb PF who would come in with 2 years of eligibility. He's averaging 11p/12r/5.5apg on 49/25/64 shooting splits, and is third in the country in defensive rebounding/fourth in total rebounding. He's also 37th in assists and 88th in blocks.
I'm of the opinion that we need another big man on next year's roster -- specifically one that will rebound the hell out of the basketball. IDK if we want to go the JuCo route or wait for a postgrad, but I'm glad the staff is looking. The fact that this kid appears to be a very good passer of the ball as well is a nice bonus:
Pitt, Georgia and a few others are on him pretty hard at this point.
EDIT: One more for fun:
