I think we have room for a 7'2 Center who shoots 64% from the floor and gets 5 & 5.

7'7 Wingspan - that would place him among the longest NBA wingspans of active players if he was in the league. Dwight Howard is 7'5, Anthony Davis 7'6 for comparison. This dude grew two inches to 7'2 (although his Twitter says that he's 7'3) over the last year... so as he gets stronger and grows into his body, he's going to get even better.
We would be lucky to get him. He's from Kentucky, so I wouldn't be surprised if Kentucky offers him.

He plays at the same JuCo as First Team All-American and DI Player of the Year, Jay Scrubb, who was drafted by Brooklyn this year. Team mate PF Sydney Curry, just was offered by Maryland. Strong JuCo program. He has two years of eligibility left, Nathan has one beyond this year.

Isn't that a bit of a surprise ? I didn't know that WKU had much of a program ?

IMO 2020 is tough HS/Juco recruiting year for the Class of 2021. My unofficial count, not counting the D-I transfers we missed on.

Still hope I guess. We are fortunate we don't need much. We may be an excellent team with the roster we have.

I am surprised with Western Kentucky selection. Makes me think he was option C for us. We must be focused on ATAki Ally ATAki and or the center from France christ-essandoko.

There is no way this guy was option C for us. Way, way too talented. Jamarion had a host of suitors and went with the hometown team.
