Word.

I am thrilled we are involved with a center who is physically ready to play the position, as a HS senior no less.

I think he is a good athlete.  Can finish with authority already, has a good shooting touch and looks comfortably patrolling the middle in the zone.

For years now, we have had no one who has a chance to stand up to a strong big guy on the other team and it has cost us a number of games we would otherwise have won.

Even if all he does is prevent bigs from dominating the paint and the boards against us, and score an occasional basket, he will be well worth a scholarship.  Would you rather spend it on a player like this guy or use it on a walk on?

I don't have a problem bringing in a beanpole with athletic ability at center every once in a while but we can't just bring in really skinny guys indefinitely and hope like hell they will lift weights, eat right and fill out their bodies.  That model has been a major failure for far too long.
