I'm glad we finally haev a big-man in the fold. I was beginning to get worried about our lack of replacements for all that are graduating after next year. Though 6'7" is a little on the short-side, at 260 pounds I'm assuming this guy that push his weight around to offset what he lacks in height. Hopefully the kid can rebound.

Kante was listed at 6'8" and he pulled down almost 9 rebounds a game his senior year. Adam Arnold was only 6'6" and was a great rebounder. All about hustle and effort.

Kid averaged double digits in rebounds last year I believe, and from watching a few games posted on here, he makes a living down on the block. I think he will be a nice addition and a solid rebounder for us.
 
This kid's gonna be around 300 lbs of ROCK by the time he's a Jr...look at the frame he has! Talk about a "wide body"...looks like a SYCAMORE tree trunk! Makes Charles Barkley look small...:wacko:

Article regarding one of Brandon's recent games. On one hand, he hasn't scored a lot, but on the other hand, there are three other Div. I players on his team and from watching several highlights this season, they seem to press frequently which doesn't exactly fit his style. Also, have seen several highlights where he has decent positioning in the lane and no one passes to him.

Brandon's season comes to an end in the Class 6A semifinals. Can't find a detailed box score, so not sure how well he did, but this line in the article caught my eye...."Carver had three players either signed or committed to SEC programs. The most effective player on the team (is) headed to Indiana State."

If you watch the highlight, a nice block by Brandon at the 12 second mark, and a nice dunk at the 31 second mark. Love the kids body and how in each highlight of his that I see, he is down low looking for someone to box out.

Nice. Good call on the boxing out. And for a senior in hs, he's got a D-1 frame. Big boy.
 
Looking forward to seeing Brandon suit up for the Sycamores. If he doesn't red shirt, it'll be interesting to see how he does compared to our other bigs.
