Great saw where he is 6'9"

A win/win, it adds size to the roster along with some flexibility in the post, also keeps an open scholarship for the 2017 class.

Would expect him to play both the 4&5, probably get 20-25mpg, and average in the neighborhood of 8&6 a game.

If anything this addition doesn't force you to play Alexander 35mpg at the 5, and also keeps you from having to play Fulkerson at the 5 this year most likely.

Think having a roster of 13, if we can stay healthy, will allow at least 1 and possibly 2 of the freshman to redshirt.

Good news!

Welcome young man

 

[amillz]

Boom!!! This is good.

I think this also gives CRB and his staff the option of redshirting Fulkerson so he can add some weight if they need to do that.

booooooooooooom

Wish we had 2 more schollys. Would love to add Omer too.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

But I'm happy about this, gives us experience.

and the second for you too right? UT needs all the big men they can get!

The staff will not be turning Omer away, I promise you that.

Great. Red shirt Anderson.

Anderson?

 

[cwbytruckers]

If you have never seen this guy he actually could play a BIG 3. I know he will not but he can handle the ball. Has a decent outside shot. He will be very valuable at the 4 and 5 this year.

Good pick up. Love the flexibility it gives us. If Evans can give us 10 points and 7 rebounds a game then it will be a great signing. Wonder what happens with Yurtseven??

Nothing different than before, if Yurtseven wants to be a Vol he will be.

Anderson?

Alexander. Same difference.

Not quite, and also, no way in hell does Alexander redshirt.

agreed

 

[Stoked]

Solid pickup. Makes me feel better about the post play now next year.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Jimmy interviewed him on the Sports Animal earlier and he said that he took more charges than the rest of his team combined. He also talked about being a leader and took pride in offensive rebounding. I liked what I heard from the guy. (I will go back to lurking now)

Any footage on this fella? Can't seem to find any on YouTube that is less than 4 years old

That's him. He is apart of the 2030 class.

Look for the Utah State at Duke game and you can see him play.
