Never mind the scoring. Look at all those boards. In the last 10 games, he had 13, 13, 8, 15, 11, 15, 12, 10, 13 and 12. He had at least four offensive boards in all but one of those games.
Per VC, he was mostly a D-II guy out of high school and I'm skeptical of the defense being played (88 ppg?), but I'll take a guy who's committed to hitting the boards. Looks pretty springy too. Could be a crowd favorite.
Plus, I'm always in favor of MORE INITIALS GUYS. TSM, TPP, now LES.
It's worth noting that we don't have anybody in our freshman class right now, and just four offers out for the 2020 class. Go get me Luis Kortright out of St. Raymond's or Ibrahim Wattara from Mount St. Mike's. Or a high D-I bounceback kid. Anthony Nelson from Seton Hall comes to mind – floor general, New York City kid, high academics, just looking for somebody to give him the keys. Unfortunately he would have to sit a year so, with two already doing that, I'm thinking he's out.
Hartford is a great comparison for us right now. Ellison and Carter weren't perfect players, but they both came in there and ran with it, and I think they had a legitimate shot at taking down Vermont.
