We need a big. Here we go. I think a 5th ship frees up anyway.
He can move for his size and has basketball ability based on that tape.

He certainly is a space eater. I think he would be really good at 300. Didn't Goode play at Hargrave before he came to RU?
Something tells me this isn't the program most likely to get an overweight kid in shape.
Maybe he can play center and power forward simultaneously on defense allowing the four other starters to trap and basket hang at the other end of the court.
I agree, the coach has the team eating cheeseburgers during practice...teaching them the proper way to hold it in one hand vs. Two hands.
I recall people mocking Bannon for recruiting the 6'6" and then 300 pound Rashod Kent who had an unimpressive offer sheet and couldn't even muster any interest from his own state university in West Virginia.
Earlier than Josh. Mid-80's. High school all american who transferred in from Marquette. Later dismissed from team for failing to maintain his fitness. Littlepage era....
I disagree with you on Lloyd Moore. He was not Kent in terms of athleticism, but he was no slouch. He was heavily recruited and first went to Marquette University. He was actually a parade all American, which was a big thing at the time. In fact, Tom Young said that he had quicker feet then either James Bailey or Roy Hinson. His knee injury slowed him during the brief time he was here, but the decision to dismiss him from the team was the first in a long line of stupid decisions during the 'Paige era.
We will agree to disagree. I remember him coming in with huge expectations. Things had not worked out at Marquette which should have been a warning sign. He was gigantic. RU played Michigan when they had the late Roy Tarpley starring for them. He was quoted as saying something like "all Moore did was take up space" as Tarpley did whatever he wanted. He did have knee issues which impacted him but he was overweight and out of shape. Got dismissed from RU and didn't do anything anywhere else.
