Aquinas Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 He lists himself as 6'9, Player video shows him hitting a lot of 3s in addition to playing inside. Didn't see any stats. His high school lists him as 225#. Obviously we have someone exiting if he signs. He looks like a guy who could devleop an inside game and a year hitting the weights, putting on some muscle would position him well to replace French. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pistol Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I did a 2020 refresh earlier this week, just a little too soon: Houston wrapped up his HS season this past week. His recruitment has been quiet down the stretch, even as he has played very well, but should come into focus in the next month. (2/25/20) I would think we're still thinking big if and when a scholarship opens up in the near future. His only official visit so far has been to Middle Tennessee, which he took back in October. He listed a top 10 before this season and that also included SLU and the others on his list except for UCF. He tweeted out shortly after his top 10 "I'm still wide open" so I expected more of a shake-up, honestly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

His HS page on the Dallas Morning News unfortunately didn't have season stats, but you can see some individual game scoring totals here. His Nike EYBL stats with Drive Nation are here. HS stats show a bit of inconsistency with his scoring but I'd be curious to see his rebounding, percentages, blocks, etc. AAU stats show a more consistent scorer with a .522 FG%. He attempted some threes but didn't make any and he's a dreadful FT shooter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We're way way better than Middle TN (Sun Belt) and definitely better than MO State (MVC). UCF (American) and New Mexico (MWC) are is fairly similar in terms of conference strength and recent history of success. Though NM's most recent success came 2 coaches ago under Steve Alford, so who knows if their current coach can build them back up to that level. As pointed out by Littlebill below UCF has some very recent success under Dawkins (w Tacko Fall leading the way), but their recent NCAA history doesn't really match SLU or NM. Edited February 28 by RUBillsFan UCF isn't quite on the level of SLU & NM AGB91 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ACE Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 1 hour ago, RiseAndGrind said: Hmmm.. Rivals 150! Weird list for a Top 150 Looks good in the video. Can hit some threes and score inside. Pretty springy, but not freaky like French. Not sure what kind of a rebounder he is, but this addition would make a lot of sense. This kid and the Swede can battle for a few minutes next year, as I think there is a need for a 3rd big, and then the following year both take on much bigger roles. Travis has had a lot of experience recruiting Texas. Get it done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've got recency / Tacko Fall bias going on in my head. If I was going to rank the programs I'd go: 1/1A SLU/New Mexico 3 UCF big gap 4 MO State 5 Middle Tenn (Kermit Davis has left the building) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
