He is listed on the roster on cyclones.com and in the Student directory. Some guys on cylonereport.com seemed exicited about him but this was the first i have heard of him. Anybody have some info on him?

Looks to be a candidate to redshirt and get a year in with the training program. Could add some depth for the future.

Thanks for the link. Is he a JUCO transfer? It says he is class of '07.

He is a Juco with 4 years to play 3. Got recruited by some really good schools out of high school and was a GREAT GREAT get by our staff

Is on on athletic scholarship? That is, is he an addition to the 2008 scholarship recruiting class? Thanks.

He was the hush hush recruit, but not anymore since he has started taking classes. I guess he was heavily recruited out of high school, but had to go the Juco route.

A big big body.

Partially from bits I have read about him and partially my own guesses...he was forced to go to a juco out of hs but then was able to get everything in order in a year so his recruitment took a lot of places by surprise, so a combination of a little good fortune and a good job by the staff. I have read he had a good season in juco and is someone that is exciting to add with a big upside (no pun intended).

I was at a golf out that GC talked at. GC said most schools were thinking he was two years at the JC.We had a good relationship with the JC coach and grabed him out early. Very good get.

He runs a 5.78. That is slower than *****

Trust me he doesn't run a 5.78. He can really move for a guy his size

**CycloneWarrior** · 06-20-2008, 06:42 PM

On his rivals profile it says 5.78. I hope its faster

During the signing day press conference in February 2007 -- Gene's first class -- I recall that Gene said the same thing about Alex Alvarez . . . most everyone else thought he was going to be a two-year JUCO guy. We got him after one (and redshirted him last fall).

Heartening to see that our guys are on top of it, that they seem to go an extra mile to do the job.
