24 rebounds in 35 minutes against Morgan State on 1/25/2020.

But would he insist on keeping #35?

If he wants a scholarship it may be a deal breaker.
 
This has the coaches are not comfortable with the current group of centers written all over it. 4 centers? I get that we need a center, but this kid will have 2 years left...we should have been looking for a 4-5 star prospect to come in next year...This is like waiting until the last minute.
 
Just realized in totally missed the boat on this one! Sorry guys...but mine as well drum up another good one ;)
 
I’m shocked people are actually intrigued to be okay with the fact of getting a transfer from Coppin State...
I don't understand this mentality...there are SO many good basketball players that come from smaller programs and succeed. It reminds me of how people were acting when I mentioned Nate Sestina last year and people thought he wasnt good enough for us because he was from bucknell and wasntb7ft tall. UK takes him and he had a great year. I get some of these guys arent good or might be projects but just because hes from Coppin St doesnt mean we shouldnt give him a look at the very least.
