In case you don't remember him he played roundball for us a few years ago before transferring to LA Tech (6'11, 220) .

Through 2 games this year he's averaging...

28.5 min, 10.0 pts, 11.5 reb, 1.5 ast, 1.5 stl

I think he could have done well at LSU. But I cant blame him for leaving (Coach Brady )

meh

He had a decent game against UL, but there are HS teams that could roll it up on Grambling.

He's playing scrubs right now. I hope he does well and it's fine that he left but he could be playing under Trent Johnson if he had stayed put to contribute. See ya.

Didn't he leave because Nikita (sp) Johnson, who recruited him, took the job as associate assistant coach at La Tech?

Possibly, but his 'attitude' doesn't seem like the kind that would mesh well with TJ.

True. But a new environment seemed to be what he was looking for first and foremost. I think he would have felt his opportunity and would have done something about it.

Magnum thinks Magnum is better than Magnum actually is. Brady mentioned he "wanted to be used like Kevin Durant"

I remember that. I wish him well. At least he didn't pull a Tony Gipson or Courtney Trask or Kentrell for that matter.

Decent, at best, stats against sub-par teams. He was a lazy whiner too.

I was upset to see him go. He completely dominated Joakim Noah.

Nikita Wilson played for LSU in the mid 80's from Leesville. Nikita Johnson was the coach who left LSU and went to La Tech.

Didn't he transfer to Georgetown first? What happened with that?

Maybe thinking of Greg Monroe, the top recruit in the country from New Orleans that signed with Georgetown

Oh, it was Regis Koundjia who transferred, to George Washington, not George Mason. Or Georgetown. Too many Georges.

I don't think Koundjia ever made a shot that wasn't a dunk.

I don't think anyone was crying too many tears about losing Ben Voogd.
