And now at least we've accomplished that. Both of these scholarships will be available next year too, so we have at least two more for 2016.
I really wanted Maia. I like the fact that we got two players who have skills that should translate to the ACC. Smith is a shooter, and this kid is a rebounder. I don't really think he'll score much at all, but he could get 6-7 rebounds per game easy. 6'9, he played on the Brazil world university team.
Now hold this third scholarship for either Rowan or Sterling Gibbs, and if you know it won't get used, maybe you can get a one year guy late in the process. Unless this is an elite talent like Rowan, I wouldn't use the ship for 2015.
