I don't know what UVMhoopcat is talking about over on the AE boards. I love Nyama's highlight film. I agree that he has a rare combination of size, athleticism, and skill with a college ready body. Also, I just realized at 1:35 Nyama draws the foul and get the bucket against the top ranked recruit in the country last year, Nerlens Noel.

It's kind of funny to me, because I'm not an alum of any school, so I try and look at things a bit more objectively.  I think anyone that reads the AE forum knows that the UVM posters are a very loyal and passionate lot.  I admire that about them, and they should be proud of their history.  But, we also know that they look at things through rose-colored glasses.  If Nyama was a UVM recruit, they would be doing cartwheels.  Now, he's not the 2nd coming, but looking at his Jr year highlights, it's also obvious that he has some skills, and has a chance to be a productive player.  I never want to make things personal, and I see no need to "argue" about players; everyone has their opinion, and that's as it should be.  I stand by my own opinion that you picked up a very nice commit, one who should help not only on offense, but also defensively.  For SB, you need to now see what your coaches do with at least one big in this class, although a large combo forward would probably be best, as you only lose Brenton/Bracey up front.  I don't see a replacement for Brenton right now (right now Burnett or Nyama?).....
