Not at that weight. Haven’t watched him up but like the stats.
Looked at his three year stats. Never took a three pointer. A guy that wants to score in the paint and not be a shooter.
This is exactly what we need. An enforcer!
Had 17 points and 11 rebounds in a VCU win at LSU in November. He can play here.
Well, it would be nice to have a guy like that, again. And he probably can. It's just a bit sad we've gotten to this point
Remember, Corliss Williamson? Dude was a monster at 6’7, 250.
I would take a Williamson type in the post, in a heartbeat.
Doubt this guy is anywhere close to Williamson, though.
I really like enforcer guys, last guy like that beside Reid Travis, maybe Cousins
We got the jumpy bouncy length. This guy would give us what we lack most right now. If 6’7” isn’t perfect, our wings are too strong to need perfect. But we do need something.
not a lot of size difference between he and Travis
i would take a player like Travis every day and twice on Sundays

Update*
I just read on Twitter that he’s going to be a grad transfer. Maybe a good backup in case Haarms doesn’t pick BBN

I just can't see why we'd take someone like this when we've got a zillion guys 6'7" - 6'9" already. Gonna end up with 11-12 committed and 1 or 2 really good bigs come available via transfer or reclass and either we miss on them because we're too crowded or get them and lose someone else. It's April people, and most of these guys are players that played on bad mid major teams.
Done some minor research on this guy and I’m all in. I feel he could be a Reid Travis esque player for us
pts&reb
17-11 against LSU in a win
19 against Purdue
22-11 against Tennessee (combined 16-22 from the field those last two games)
12-9 @ title contender Dayton and went 12-17, yes, 17 boards against them at home.
Gonna watch some film on him tomorrow but kid can clearly play. I want him.

It is a bit sad that you are always sad.
This doesn't have to be bad. Taking experienced guys ready to make an impact Day 1 could be just what this team needs to have a special season.
He said for most of this season that this team and 2012-2013 teams were just alike with the same ceilings. With some people, you just have to laugh and move on.
he’s not really like anyone we have on roster
If we miss on Haarms I’m all for this guy. Jackson would probably have to be a better shot blocker than I think he will be right now to utilize him but Santos-Silva would give us someone to throw a few bodies around
I've seen him play multiple times. Only 6-7, plays below the rim, not a rim protector, kinda slow...pass.
Strong rebounder is clearly something uk will need/ was very good against likes of purdue, lsu, Tennessee and Dayton. Could do worse.
I would not expect too much from this guy, if he came here. Probably fills a need as a bruiser inside. Probably gives us a basket or two, some rebounds, and 5 fouls. Asking for much more might be asking for too much. I don’t see him being a starter, though.
do you see anybody being a star? you think everyone who we go after or recruit isn’t good
Travis' 20 and 10 at Stanford became 13 and 7 here.
This guy gives us somewhere around 7 to 9 points and 5 to 7 rebounds if he comes here.
That's good enough for me.
Then add Kuminga and add some water, and watch is all grow.

I agree, but if we miss on Haarms, we quickly run out of options unless we get a reclass.
Wow, I’m usually accused of being a sunshine pumper. LOL!
Sorry, I’m just trying to be realistic about a 6’7 kid who has played the post in the A-10.
Some times you have to be the voice of reason, there are too many on this board who think any big man with a pulse is a savior.
Right. People forget PJ Washington was only 6’7’.
We need a bull-like RT that can clear out and not get pushed around as the skinny kids do. Why not this guy and Haarms? It seems like a good combo like Nick and EJ or RT and PJ.
I see my racist stalker is back. Ol Blue in The Brew/Der g punkt/etc. And your always leave out everything I said. I said we were no more talented than the 2012-2013 team, and I stand by that. Now, what racist name will you call me and my wife this time around?
I found this to be quite interesting; he’s only 6’7, but that wingspan is a bit freakish. That in itself is fairly impressive.
Haven’t done much research on him yet, but I wonder what his potential role would be in terms of roster development.
I don’t know if this is a bad sign in terms of Haarms, or the staff is simply doing their due diligence to ensure we fill that five-position. Would love to have them both, but unlikely I’m sure. Regardless, it would be nice to have a low-post guy like this to take up space down low.
Interesting. Santos-Silva and Brooks up front would make us fairly short. Although, about the same size as Reid-PJ.
I would say the Haarms ship has sailed if this guy produces a list of any type that includes UK on it.
