He goes down with the Baby Faced Assassin and Andrew Craft.
 
Here's a thought: he's a senior with no chance of playing in the NBA. Think about the implications of that. Here's another: He's from Massachusetts, about half way between Albany and Boston. Either we missed him, or (more likely) he developed over his 4 years.

You guys crack me up.
 
He is a grad transfer from Yale, played Baylor his sophomore year at Yale beating them and scoring 31 points. (Guess Drew noticed him and he liked Baylor). Great outside shooter with dual citizenship and plays for the German National team. Actually went to high school in Connecticut not Massachusetts.

Thanks for tracking that down. The photo of him in 2009 is amusing. The poor kid looks like maybe 130 lbs. Somebody got him onto red meat, whole milk and the weight bench. Anyway, somebody saw in him what we didn't. Maybe he just didn't want to come to SU, either? But he's the kind of kid we'd all like to see in Orange: smart, works hard and hustles, stuck around for an entire college experience. What's not to like?

He went to Yale. We recruit against them in lax not hoop. Not like Uconn or any other program had him either.

Dude. What are you talking about? And he didn’t stay around for the entire college experience, he transferred.

Because he wasn't good enough to play at this level until he finished his senior season at Yale.

Looks like out of high school he was looking at top academic schools, he was interested in Duke, Stanford, Notre Dame and then UMass (?) but only Yale offered. He stayed at Yale and graduated.
 
Had to admire the guy.

Played with what became obviously a bad foot/toe injury. He had the attitude of "stop me if you can" and just took it to the Cuse every way he could.

Great team leader.
