He has already been cleared I assume and will play this year.

Very impressed with the recruiting of Gio! He has also shown that he can win with talent. Drake is on the upswing.

Less than 5 months at DU, and this is the 9th player he's landed already. Very impressed with him and the staff he has put together.

Coach has done an amazing job. We may not be much this year...though I think we'll be better than last year...but we're coming.

We don't know yet if he's good....just like most recruits coming in.

I've seen some video. He's certainly not going to come in and dominate, but he's got a good frame (weighs about 250), hits the boards hard and has a good touch out to mid-range (17-19 from the free throw line in a recent European tournament).

I'm just hoping he can be a decent backup to Van Deest this year.

I tried to post a picture in the original post, but for some reason, this board's software wouldn't allow it....here's a link the pic...he's the guy under "2013"

I was just informed that he dunks everything. He's already broken a rim and he's better than they expected.
