I’ve been as critical as anyone of Boals’ recruiting, but we did offer Emeka Opurum, the 7 foot JUCO prospect. He fits that mold.

Kid sat on the offer (among others) and we pivoted. There were number of other guys we were connected to who seemed to profile more as rim protectors as well this portal season. The cards just fell this way and I think Boals and staff exceeded expectations. I figured our best case was a D1 and lower level add. Instead, we landed two proven D1 players with size.

Breath has 30 blocks in 80+ career games.
