Seems pretty athletic for a big guy, would like to see what he would be like at around 280.

Rivals link doesn't have us listed. Are we out or off him?

He certainly is a space eater. I think he would be really good at 300. Didn't Goode play at Hargrave before he came to RU?

Maybe he can play center and power forward simultaneously on defense allowing the four other starters to trap and basket hang at the other end of the court.

If he doesn't work out, maybe Ash can put him on the O-line or D-line.

I recall people mocking Bannon for recruiting the 6'6" and then 300 pound Rashod Kent who had an unimpressive offer sheet and couldn't even muster any interest from his own state university in West Virginia.

No Lloyd Moore references yet?

Kent was an athletic freak who could jump out of the gym despite his weight. Very light on his feet as well. Moore was exactly the opposite.

I disagree with you on Lloyd Moore. He was not Kent in terms of athleticism, but he was no slouch. He was heavily recruited and first went to Marquette University. He was actually a parade all American, which was a big thing at the time. In fact, Tom Young said that he had quicker feet then either James Bailey or Roy Hinson. His knee injury slowed him during the brief time he was here, but the decision to dismiss him from the team was the first in a long line of stupid decisions during the 'Paige era.

We will agree to disagree. I remember him coming in with huge expectations. Things had not worked out at Marquette which should have been a warning sign. He was gigantic. RU played Michigan when they had the late Roy Tarpley starring for them. He was quoted as saying something like "all Moore did was take up space" as Tarpley did whatever he wanted. He did have knee issues which impacted him but he was overweight and out of shape. Got dismissed from RU and didn't do anything anywhere else.
