[Sly Fox]

A Canuck by way of Texas ... odd path to LU but we'll take it.



JUCO Official Bio

[olldflame]

He only played in 12 of their 29 games this year (no idea why) but his numbers were nice, playing a little over 20 min/game. Averaged 14.7 ppg while shooting 52% from the floor, 50% from 3 and 85% from the line.

For those who don't know, here is what Kilgore College is perhaps best known for.

They used to be a staple at NFL halftime shows. Not so much lately I think.

Broken foot ... likely helped his availability to us. This kid had high major talk coming into season before injury.

I'm sure he'll be happy to land in Virginia after his East Texas experience. Just ask Rell what I'm talking about.

[ALAFlamesFan]

So Sly are you saying this is a done deal?

[olldflame]

So, I take it we can expect to see an announcement from the SIDs soon?

I also noticed that he was on the Canadian Junior National team. That's not chopped liver. There were at least 2 or 3 players from that team in the McDonalds All-American game this year.

[Hold My Own]

Yes, it's a done deal!

[olldflame]

I am really starting to like this year's recruiting class.

played in the same league as kahlil mcdonald (western kentucky commit).

"Representing my country in the Junior World Games, participating with the Canadian Junior National Team"

you have to be highly regarded to play in the world games,for the junior national team.


also looking at kilgore former players list...they produce alot of talent.

If an article on Chris' signing shows up on the SID site, I'd appreciate it if someone would post a link. I can't pull up new articles there because the IT people here at work don't believe in updating the flash players.

Is this official yet?

[olldflame]

Generally speaking, when HMO says it's a done deal, it is.

[jcmanson]

Generally speaking, if it’s official, the SIDs would have a press release.

[olldflame]

Generally speaking, if it’s official, the SIDs would have a press release.

Eventually yes, but they don't always announce things right away. They may be waiting on a letter from another recruit so they can announce both at the same time, or there may be some minor technicality that needs to be squared away.

minor technicality that needs to be squared away.

These are what scare me

[Sly Fox]

Letter is in!

If this kid comes in healthy, we just pulled off a major coup.

[olldflame]

I like this from his profile:

Goals Outside of Basketball: Being successful in life, being there for my family and accomplishing the goals God has set up for me

I think it's a great time to put a JUCO transfer into the mix. He'll arrive more mature than a frosh, and with not only JUCO, but international playing experience. Considering the track record our program has with foot injuries, I believe prayer is in order.

What happened to all the smilies Scorcho? I go to get my little guy praying and he's not there.

[blwall1416]

Someone is going to have to come up with a nickname for this kid......and we will henceforth refer to him by that name.

[Sly Fox]

Nova Scotian Motion ...

Kilgore was Here ...

I'm drawing blanks.

[SuperJon]

This is easy: CJ. He'll play right next to JC for two years. I know you've got some type of CJJC promo you could work up if they're both good.

Chris Johnson, eh?

You know this cannot be done.

[Hold My Own]

Speaking of JC, will there be any old school Carmen playing? "Tell me who's in the house??? J - C!!!"

Wow.


I do like Sly's first one, that one is kinda funny

Thanks for that. I'm waiting for your suggestions.
