We still have room for both, so a moot question.Is there anyone who wouldn't take this kid over Nix?

yesIsn't Nix already gone?
-- he doesn't look ready, ...
I watched a highlight reel, we need a guy like that, who can catch an ally oop, go OVER guys and slam, we need that kind of size and athleticism for a change.Watched his highlights -- he doesn't look ready, but he does look active. If all he's relied upon to do is play D and get offensive rebounds, he could play at Pitt next year; we have enough guards and wings who are scorers.
If he can walk and chew gum at the same time he can at least affect the ability of opponents score at will inside, as we have been seeing lately. In time we could have a pretty valuable player here.I watched a highlight reel, we need a guy like that, who can catch an ally oop, go OVER guys and slam, we need that kind of size and athleticism for a change.
Eric Mobley comes to mind.I watched a highlight reel, we need a guy like that, who can catch an ally oop, go OVER guys and slam, we need that kind of size and athleticism for a change.
It's only moot if you think they're done recruiting 2017. They clearly aren't.We still have room for both, so a moot question.
Agree with this. A program like Pitt should always be open to taking a flyer on a big that has some potential.I don't think many people get too out of shape over taking a flyer on a guy with some serious size. It's loading up on guards that can't make layups or shoot from the perimeter that cause the heartburn.
Looks like he has some skill to me. Let's get him on-board!
I'd take a big close to Eric Mobley right now.Eric Mobley comes to mind.

I did not compare this guy to Mobley. The poster said he would like a big, athletic center who could take alley oops and dunk on people. That is a good description of Mobley, and he comes to mind with that description. Just wanted to clarify.Damn I consider myself an optimist but it seems a little bit of a reach to compare this guy to a former 1st round pick.
No he isn't, he's enrolled in summer classes here.

That's like buying a lottery ticket in Zimbabwe.
Yeah, if this kid is Eric Mobley I am taking him yesterday.Eric Mobley was a Parade All-American out of high school.
How bad does one have to be to be 7 feet and uncommitted 2 months before classes start? That's not even a lottery ticket. That's like buying a lottery ticket in Zimbabwe.

His transfer was announced by Pitt.
He's gone from the team.Yes I am aware, but he's still at pitt taking classes. Unless we can find a better inside player, we'd be wise to ask him to stay for his last year and see what he says.

He's already going to South Alabama as a graduate transfer. This is a done deal. The is 0% chance of him returning to Pitt to play.
Nothing is done. He could stay if we wanted him and he wanted to.
But our team is so bad it doesn't matter, if Lurch from the Addams Family limps into Stallings' office we have to sign him, he's a 7 footer too.How bad does one have to be to be 7 feet and uncommitted 2 months before classes start?

You have to wonder why so few programs are not seeing potential and offering?Potential is the only issue that needs to be addressed . No one player coming in is going to alter the short term results . If there's potential in two / three yrs make the kid an offer .
Just like no one offered Cam Johnson?You have to wonder why so few programs are not seeing potential and offering?
Not really
Nix couldn't breathe after 2.5 minutes on the floor at any one time, so I'd rather have nobody or a walk on. Costs the university less money, not even considering food costs.We still have room for both, so a moot question.
And was absolutely abused by Shaq and every other big at the roundball Classic at the arena. I saw it with my own eyes. Not even in the same stratosphere. If Shaq was a 5 star, then Mobley was a low 3. All he could do was dunk on smaller players.Eric Mobley was a Parade All-American out of high school.
Yeah, but he was good enough to be a quality Big East player, so I'd take a really good college player who would be abused by a one and done 5 star, in fact Pitt wishes we had players that good at this point. You're complaining that he couldn't hang with Shaq? LOL, who could? I mean other than the unknown recruit from Louisiana Neon Bedoux.And was absolutely abused by Shaq and every other big at the roundball Classic at the arena. I saw it with my own eyes.
