ive noticed kupsas is getting big attention. 

i forgot that HS kids grow!

i think the twitter feed said he's 6'9'' now.  either way, at that height, id think we'd want to use him back to the basket no?

I guess that’s why we probably won’t get him. In AE he has PF/C height. But in high major he will probably play his natural position.

All three signed NLI:

So, where does this leave us in terms of schollies? I think 2 more spots left. Are we going to fill up the rest with experienced JUCO, or should we expect another Freshman?

Alex Christie is 7'-0". Thats great but can he shoot?.  We've been around the AE long enough to know how 7'0" who come here dont always pan out. I am not saying that is the case with Alex.. I would like to see Boals go after some more bigs, who can rebound and not afraid to pound the boards..

I’m pretty high on Alex. Boals can polish him to be a good mid major center.

The Canadian native is a mountain of a man who is typically listed at 7-feet tall and has dramatically improved his conditioning within the last year since arriving at MacDuffie. This spring he played consistent minutes on a BABC team that extended their natinoal record for consecutive appearances at the Nike Peach Jam.

Christie is a true big man who brings the type of size that will be nearly unmatched in the America East Conference along with good footwork and soft hands.

I'm pretty high on these three. Latimer committed to us before the July signing period so he doesn't have as much hype as he probably should, but he's a really nice get. Jules Moor scored 23 points against huntington prep the other night and is looking like a steal. Also really encouraged because he has a similar profile to Jordan Mackenzie (no apparent offers in high school, and only a couple when he got to Hargrave) and that seems to be really working out for us. Christie is huge with a college ready frame. I think he won't have to fill up the stat sheet to have a significant impact on the game.

Any time I hear we have a 7 footer coming to SBU I get a smile on my face. Sure they don't always pan out, but you can't coach size. Great to hear.

It's interesting that Hassan Ceesay, who plays at Olaniyi's alma mater, Newark East Side, has an offer from us (per VC). Ceesay will be the top dog at ESHS with Elijah doing his thing over here. He was 2nd team All-Group 4 last year; Olaniyi made 1st team.
