Holy hell Chukwu is big

[HoustonCuse]

I knew he was tall, but good lord. Also he is way less skinny than I was expecting. He towers over Carl Malone and makes Obokoh look like a kid!

I read an article after he committed here where the Providence coaches talked about how he was a really hard worker in the weight room.

Obviously, he's got a ways to go, and has the frame to carry a lot of "good" weight. But having that foundational work ethic in the weight room will serve him well. He's wiry strong now; imagine how he's going to be when he adds 15 pounds of extra muscle after redshirting this year.

A little Where's Waldo of SU players in this one. Except of course, Chukwu!

I wish we could have him this year.

And Dejuan with his Blazers jersey???

Who's next to hop and chino?

Doyin A-A. A walk on.

Oh... My...Gawd!!! I'm awestruck after looking at that picture which shows a veritable GIANT that will be wreaking havoc anchoring the 2-3 Zone and imagining the possibilities.

Is it any wonder that Jimmy B. has such a beaming smile? He knows we will take our lumps this coming year but in 16-17 things are going to be VERY DIFFERENT!

That's an even better shot Tee. The guy is ginormous.

Also, I am getting very concerned at how close Cooney is to drifting into this territory:

Now that's what I'm talking about. Finally, some real length in the lane. Breath of fresh air. Can't wait to hear how he's doing in practice.

 

[reedny]

Hop looking very stiff right now. I know he's a big kid. But maybe ... it's time to give up the whole "boogey board" thing (?). lol

And I think that's TR next to Chino.

It's like his head is hitting the dome ceiling!

Chukwu brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Bringing down the roof!"

Is that T-Lydon on the back line?

Yes.

Hopefully, they'll put him on the 6-meal-per-day plan:

Thank God the roof is flexible.

And when he does add the weight in muscle, he will be so friggin intimidating. It will be so exciting to see what team will be assemble together as a starting line up.

There is a difference between the two. Cooney is wearing a snap back hat backwards. There is no possible way to look cool wearing a snap back hat backwards.

As opposed to how cool this kid looks?

The thing about Paschal is his fluid mobility on the court at that height, simply amazing... He gazelles down across the floor... So excited to see him in Orange...
On the other side, for this season, let's just go with Tyler or Tyler as backup center when DC2 goes out; doesn't look like there is any difference between them and Chino anyway...

Except Chino is 5 fouls taller than either Tyler.

Between Paschal, Battle, and Moyer, 2016-17 season should be a good one.
