Super athlete with an iffy shot, from what I've read. Still, would be pretty sweet to have someone that athletic on the roster again.
__________________ EliTerp [on Nolaeer]: At this point, I think calling him bi is giving him the benefit of the doubt. He admits he does guys, except in Morgantown. He's from West Virginia so he's probably into interspecies erotica, and to my knowledge he doesn't have any kids walking around to make one believe that he is at least bi. I'm beginning to think he is just a hairy ghey Bear. Or he's been jerking us all off on this board big time.
Edit: FWIW, I think he's a PF at the next level. He's incredibly long and athletic. IF(HUGE IF) he develops his jump shot quickly, I think he could develop into a three, but I think most schools would be better off just playing small with him at the four. In college you can get away with players like that playing the four spot.

Xavier decommit is a baller. Like everyone has been saying he's a super athlete with no shot at this time. I follow Xavier hoops and the comparision here is Derrick Brown. Brown came in with sick athletic ability and no jump shot. If he comes here and developes a J then he could be a 20 and 8 kind of SF/PF. However also as mentioned it might be tough to pull him out of columbus, he has two teammates AAU already committed to the Buckeyes.
If he doesn't have the shot already, we really don't have a program that gives a player time to develop it. I see a pretty solid bench player out of JDW, which is actually a role that we need.
looks just like a leaper to me, could be a solid 4 year guy though and like everyone said if he gets a shot he could be a steal if we get him, reguardless it would be nice to have a finisher who can throw it done with ease like that everytime.
I suppose if he's only a super-athletic Horace Broadnax or Calvin McCall he could end up being a valuable addition to the team. Depends on who he'd displace and whether he's got a do-anything attitude.
In the past, he'd be the type we'd recruit as our second best player in a large class. But now with our recruiting domination, he'd be a great 4th or 5th guy in a 5 man class.
