Thoughts? This could be real nice if JW3 is gone...

[Planter's Punch]

"His transcripts have not yet passed through the NCAA Clearinghouse."

[KWhiz77]

Assuming he gets cleared, of course. I would think this is a paperwork matter and not grade prob otherwise schools would not be so hot to reach out. SMU of all places should be cautious

per ESPN Insider:

Strengths:
Nwankwo is a big body post that competes and plays with energy and urgency. He runs the floor pretty well and does a good job of catching and finishing when he receives drop off passes created by dribble penetration. Excellent rebounder on both ends of the floor. Scores over his left shoulder in the post. He also a pretty good on ball shot blocker.

Weaknesses:
Nwankwo needs to continue to gain valuable playing experience and also work on his offensive back to the basket moves including footwork and learn to post deeper in the lane.

Bottom Line:
Nwankwo rebounding and defense is ahead of his offense at this time. He has great size and is a immediate factor on the defensive end of the floor and possess terrific upside and is a major college low post prospect.

Good rebounder means decent hands...

[Junior]

we can use a big body that can play D in the middle.

[RGV Pony]

we could use a warm body to fill the scholarship we still have open

[gostangs]

Sounds like a fit. Tolbert and MK can put it in the bucket. We need an enforcer.

[leopold]

Strong rebounder and defender and plays with energy and urgency.

Sounds just like a LB player.
