6' 11" center who, as a freshmen, played some minutes at WVU before being injured. Akron's board seems to think he will get a waiver to play immediately.

He was VERY average in high school and I expect that WVU figured out their mistake.  If he averages more then 8 pts a game ever, I would be surprised.

Hmmmmm

An Active o zone with giant debit cards .......looks like fun....

Not sure what an impact he will be but having thta height across the front is never a bad thing in my boook.

This gives them some solid depth.  I think Kadeem is a better player.

From the 'kron thread - my notes in Green:

WVU roster profile describes him as:

• Has tremendous upside - 6'11" and looks like nuthin' but upside
• Runs the floor extremely well - Useful in a getaway
• Has outstanding lateral quickness - 'Kron is lateral from WVU?
• Has effective footwork in the post - Can't make a stop, take a charge, swisher not blocker, un-aggressive post up's and D collapses on him

That's pretty good! 

Got to admit, I was hoping there wouldn't be any 6-11 Zips once Zeke left. Guess I'll be waiting a few more years!

The video they had of him didn't impress me at all.  So, if he wants to hang around, okay.  I'm not worried about him after Zeke leaves.  I think Kadeem can take care of him easily.
