Signed with James Madison.
Bummer....JMU 39 point win over Buffalo must have sealed it...haha.

Would have been a great addition in the post moving forward.

I don't think 18 year olds think like you do. I'm seriously doubting that the JMU win over Buffalo was a deciding factor.

Give the kid some credit for being able to use good judgment. Maybe he fit in with the town, academics, coaches, teammates, and conference better than what Ohio had to offer. The Sun Belt away games would make it a little more possible for his family and friends to attend.

I’m still holding out hope he comes here after a couple of years at JMU… It worked out pretty well for Dwight… ;)

Go Bobcats!

Especially that last part - being able to have family at your games would seem to matter a little bit for a bunch of players.

The second "bummer was a typo..I meant to say "hahahaha"....corrected it.

Yes...I would never think that.

Was just joking.

But off all the guys left on the board, this was the one I wanted.

Looks like we'll be dipping into the portal for a big man next year.

That could be true about the portal and a big man.

This one still stings.

Helped lead JMU to the Big Dance as a true Frosh.

7 Points...4.3 rebounds....67% FG

Have a feeling he'll be a double-double guy before he leaves James Madison.

Watching this stud in the NCAA Tourney thinking what could have been. The Whiz never would have gotten off the bench this season.
