He actually plays at Tyler JC. Local program. Lightly used reserve last year; around 8th man this year.

Only saw one of their games last year, he played maybe 3 minutes. Has some athleticism; challanges every thing near the hoop but he didn't really strike me as a DIV 1 type prospect. Team has a couple DIV 1 kids and usually plays against a few within the league.

It's better JUCO ball than you would see in Western PA or Jersey, but it's hard to imagine him coming into Atlantic 10 as a junior and having much of a career. But ......

now that I know there is a real Duquesne Duke prospect locally I will have to go watch a couple games. Of course it is still HS Football season down here so nobody is allowed to go to their games until December. Just kiddin'.

Here is the local JUCO link for Tyler Athletics

and here is the Conference link with summary stats by game etc.

Thanks for the report. Judging by the limited info on the internet he certainly seems very raw offensively and as you mention he may not have the time ( 2 years ) to make much of an impact at a upper echelon conference like the A-10. Remember, to keep the program moving forward, next years recruiting class should be AT LEAST AS GOOD AS THIS YEARS - IF NOT BETTER. Hopefully, the coaching staff with its' connections will stack the talent so that the W-L record improves going forward. (NT) -- Abdul Rahman, Friday, November 12, 07:00:01pm
