At 300 pounds I was having thoughts of Nigel Dixon, if anyone remembers that enormous guy who used to play for Florida State when I was in school.yeah I remember dixon. I went to the 6A title game when he was in high school vs. Miami senior ( man what a stacked team but we know now why they were stacked). He picked up 2 fouls in the first 2 mins because he ws too slow to move his feet. Couple years later I remember seein him play 4 fsu and he got a wide open dunk under the basket and the announcers said it was on of the first tomes he ever dunked in a game. I believe it too cause the guy could barely jump over a newspaper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier his only weakness is weight and endurance kinda like Pittman at Texas. The recent photo shows that he is taking the right steps to fixing the issue although with the way Stan has been feeding him he might regress lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can shoot and handle well, I'd rather have him moving around more than just having his back to the basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say this, if he develops in our system I can see him being a candidate for 1st team all BE in the future. He would be off the charts dominate at the 4 spot imo. Ideally we would like to see Austin develop and take over the 5 spot and have Ox along with Fitz at the 4. Of course Heath will bring in players yearly so things could change as the talent keeps improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that he'll have a decision Monday or Tuesday and sign Wednesday. I would not be surprised if he has an announcement by tomorrow. We need to keep our fingers crossed that this guy joins our family. He would seem USF bound but recruiting changes by the hour, just have to see.

Especially if we can get him down to a muscular 260 by the time he is a senior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rims in the Sun Dome are tight, creaky, and older than the football team. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
