WHAT TO KNOW FOR 2003-2004: One of three Texans on scholarship, joining Allen Morill and Ike Diogu, and he arrived in June so he was able to take a few classes and get adjusted to campus life before the usual fall schedule started. A good shooter who will give ASU a good jump shot but at 6-8 can rebound very well. Expected to help at both the four and five spots but can run like a wing. Very athletic and had some highlight reel dunks in the summer, including one over Ike Diogu that had the players pretty fired up. Clark Francis had him as the No. 37 power forward in Basketball Times last year.
