He isn't too bad at rebounding but doesn't seem to be much of a scorer. Perhaps he'll develop into a pick and roll weapon as Ro Gill did.
Is this John Fanta's step brother?

I read it as he was HS class of 2024, shows played at Denver and Western Carolina, at top shows committed to SHU yesterday 5/21/2026.
29% FT shooter. Maybe he can go to the Mitchell Robinson FT clinic to get up to upper 30%.
lol, he did improve from 25% his first season to 32.4 % last season, so maybe can be at 40% this season.

They're only cousins.
seriously, anyone know if this was 1 of the 2 bigs we were expecting? Because...he is neither of the names that were floated...lol. Should we read this as....we are out on at least 1 of those other 2?
Good question. Maybe we got this player for bargain and he's a third string option.
We do have 4 scholarships left. I highly doubt he is one of the two players floated. 3 string guy who has size, seems like he can rebound. Not a bad depth signing. I look at as an insurance policy in case of an injury. At least he has D1 experience. Pennies on the dollar.
6.6 fouls per 40 after 7.7 in his first year. Yeehaw. I would assume he’s the 3rd center in the Godswill role from last year.
Copeland if he comes, then Williams slides over before this guy.

He had 10 points and 7 rebounds against Duke.
Yeah, this isn’t moving the needle for me like we were told to expect. Hopefully there’s another one coming
I also think they will definitely pursue 2 more bigs, then go with whatever they can get with the remaining money. For the posters here who were ready to jump off the GW bridge who have no patience and just no clue at all and have been killing coach Shaheen pound sand as this could be the deepest and most talented roster assembled here. Those forget Willard’s last class a total abomination. If only SHU had 15 mil to spend.
Mix of Kareem Abdul jabbar, John fanta and jakie kaba
I think the Kareem DNA missed its mark here.
JF and JK certainly could shine through.
I’m thinking more in the lines of Jim Dickinson, but maybe we get flashes of Ikey
Jim was a three point 7 footer. He was way ahead of his time.
This guy has all the makings to be shu67’s favorite player.
Am I right in think Jim's 3 from the top of the key put us over 100 in the 93 BET final vs Cuse?
Well, I remember he took some at end of game time, but he wasn’t a rotational player.
Yes he took a bunch of 3’s but he wasn’t a real 3 point threat during true game time.
He was end of bench guy who really only saw time during blowouts from what I recall, but he used to launch up 3s, something at the time was unheard of from a big man.
"...this could be the deepest and most talented roster assembled here." This sounds like a stretch. Will we again be picked for eleventh?
His first roster was way more talented on paper than this group. But this roster seems definitely more talented than last year for sure, and arguably the prior year (which featured a bunch of highly rated prep kids in year 2 after not performing as freshman).
