Northwestern has offered three-star, 6-foot-9 big man Zach Kent of New Jersey Blair Academy.
Here's the tweet from his coach:
Skinny dude-- 6-10, 205. Kind of hard to decipher his offer list -- different sources show offers from Indiana and Notre Dame, while others show only schools like Dayton and Georgia Tech. Rivals says he's been offered by Maryland, ND, Tech, Oregon and Providence. This latest offer tells me we're not holding our breath on Nwora or Eastern, which I guess should come as no big surprise.
Judging on this young man's build, I don't think I'd characterize him as a future "banger." But I'm with you on the need for size.I hope we see more offers with guys of this size. I'm assuming the staff is reasonably happy with the roster. They have somewhat covered their bets for now at 2G with Gaines.
Unless there are some fairly obvious options, if they are recruiting "projects," I want to see size, size and more size. The have more than enough 6-8 guys and under who really don't bang.
Joe Mantegna is coaching basketball now - I thought he'd be too preoccupied with the Cubs playoff run for that.
Should start a separate thread for this...very interesting.
