Can he score? We have a lot of guys who can bang
No, we don't
I get your point about scoring biazza, but do we really have a "lot of guys" who can effectively bang inside?
Cliff is tall but thin muscular body type. His length and athleticism help

Dean doesn't have the muscle to bang against bigger stronger 5s. Maybe he can gain enough muscle to next year but we will see

Agee can't and will be gone

Oskar is not strong enough or big enough but we tried it at times

Even if he's just a big strong body we could use his strength in certain matchups

Lol "started".

He never recorded a stat so he was likely a special teams guy.
He could be found in Madden (I want to say 2005?) playing for NFL Europe’s Scottish Claymores. I was pretty good with him and QB Tom Arth, now coach of the Akron Zips

Yea but the difference is myles was 6"11 not 6'8 and I'd guarantee a much longer wingspan
Yes. He’s more of a backup 5 and really a lumbering 4 defensively…with the offensive game of a limited 5 right now…at least as far as the BIG goes.

So he's a back up 5 that's limited on both sides of the ball. He's basically going to be useless then

He’s insurance against BigTen bigs just backing down smaller guys and dunking all day. Reiber can’t do that yet.

Hence Rashod Kent!
I don''t remember Rashod ever taking a jump shot. He was dynamic at positioning and getting his shot off under the basket
Your memory is accurate. He never took a jump shot – – not even one.

Another thing I remember about him was that at 6‘6“ tall he went through an entire home season until the last couple of home games without losing a single opening tip. And when he did lose one it was only because the official’s toss was so bad.

I think you over estimate his size and ability because he is coming to Rutgers. Take off the scarlet colored glasses

I don’t know that anyone is over estimating his size. He had offers to play tight end from BC and Cincinnati, I’m sure he’s actually pretty massive.

Oh I'm sure he is probably a strong kid. But he's still 6'7 with the skill set of a 5

He a slightly shorter Trevion Williams type. Definitely a need unless you’re playing a Patriot League schedule. Most highly rated kids are skinny and need to add weight while in college. Not a problem with Woolfolk. I could see him contributing rebounds even next year. Offensive production will definitely be a challenge next year if RHJ doesn’t return.

How many Big Ten teams have a 6'7" 250 pound player?

The closest thing is Liddell and he's as good as he is because he's so unusual (can shoot and can handle at 6'7" 240). Makes him a matchup nightmare. Woolfolk isn't remotely like that.

Lol I'm actually dying laughing.

Trevion Williams is one of the best players and most skilled players in the country.

You just comped some converted and under recruited football player to an all conference level talent. Lmfao

These types of posts are always so pointless. Is he supposed to compare him to some unknown player? No one thinks he's Trevion relax.

There are some similarities there with his body type. He seems to handle the ball well and finish smoothly around the rim.

In case anyone is interested in watching Antwone Woolfolk in recent games, here are some full Brush HS games from December. He's number 12 for Brush.

Brush vs Glenville Dec 8

Brush vs St. Edward Dec 14

Brush vs East Tech Dec 28
Antwone played in the above St. Edward game on 12/14, but he was a game-time decision due to an ankle injury. He's also currently out due to an ankle injury suffered in another game on 1/16. Don't know if the injuries are related, but hopefully his ankle isn't injury prone.

He's among about 20 players who are currently on the watch list for the Clark Kellogg award, which is for the best player in the eastern Cleveland region. His News-Herald Clark Kellogg award watch list entry as of 1/20:

Antwone Woolfolk, Brush: The big man for the Arcs averages a double-double with 11.1 points and 10.4 rebounds per contest. Has also shown improved court vision and awareness in the season.

T. Williams was a three star recruit and not close to being the player he is today. I’d prefer all four stars who’d stay for four seasons in college but it is what it is.

Mama Doucoure was a four star recruit listed at 6’9” 220 as a high school senior and everyone knows what a disaster he was in the BIG.

And Mama Doucoure was four stars with many high major offers as a recruit and still can’t play basketball. He’s now at Lasalle and not doing much.

Actually, he is the type we need to compete in the Big Ten. A strong inside presence who can bang And rebound And play D. Like Miller and Jones, he’ll need some seasoning.
Maybe he can snag a McCormick NIL deal

After missing a few games with an ankle injury, Antwone Woofolk was back on the court last night in Brush's 71-63 loss to Akron St. Vincent-St Mary. Brush was ranked #9 in the state of Ohio in Ohio's Division 1, and Akron St Vincent-St Mary was the top ranked team in the state in Division 2.. Woolfolk scored 9 points, all in the 4th quarter. I'm not sure how much he played, but at least we know that his injured ankle has apparently healed enough for him to play. His coach mentioned after the game that Antwone isn't starting again yet because the coach wants to ease Antwone back in slowly after his injury, and that he expects that he'll be starting again in the future.

At a minimum I hope he can play the Shaq Carter role and give us some quality minutes. Everyone had written off Mag, Rieber, and Miller and now they're all part of the rotation. Optimistic about him coming.

Exactly just give him time. I don't expect him to put up big numbers next season. Dean will have a bigger role next year. It's all progress

Unless we bring in a transfer Dean may be the starting 4 next year, which isn't a bad thing. If he progresses at the same pace watch out next season.

Watched the 4Q against St Vincent’s St Mary’s and there’s definitely something there. Seems to have much more control in the post than he had the beginning of the season, had three good moves and finishes. If he wasn’t scoring, he was pretty good playmaking out of the post. Defensively was kind of whatever, I’m sure Pike can coach him up in that regard and he seems willing to learn. If we’re trying to mold him into our next Eugene, there’s some potential

In the brief clips I saw he was a good passer out of the post and had some nice moves and a soft touch. Looked pretty natural and comfortable with the ball around the basket. That's a really good sign. A lot of bigs look robotic.

Maybe 6’4 1/2 “ 265 lb. rebounding machine. Every time the ball was fed inside to Kent he was almost never stopped . He was as they say a sure thing down low. Played tough D against some the best and biggest players at the time. Simply a beast of a player.

Never close to 6’6” … 6’4 1/2”… he played like he was 6’8” 6’9” . Zap is correct only saw Rashod take maybe a few shots beyond 10 ‘ . I don’t remember him making any.

I would love for Pike to get a Cliff backup in the portal and Dean to start at 4

Just FYI for anybody who watches this game, and to keep things in perspective, remember that this was Antwone's first game back after missing 3 weeks with an ankle injury, and the coach felt that he should be eased back in slowly.... So he may not have been back to 100% yet.

Definitely a good stretch during the fourth quarter. He looks more mobile than I anticipated, which I think says more about me since he was a decent TE recruit. Not drawing any conclusions about his defense/explosiveness with the injury and all.

One thing is for sure. A few years in strength and conditioning and that dude is going to be a grown man.
