OK, Will Wade is back! Who can we sign to replace our Bigs? whos out there?

He's more of a developmental player than somebody you'd look to for an immediate impact, but there's a 6-8 kid at Lakeshore named Hunter Dean who looks like he might have some ability and might be worth taking with one of the four scholarships we have left.

He averaged 19 and 11 for a 4A team as a senior. Dean was a Southern Miss commitment (not a signee) and recently reopened his recruitment.

There's Hudl film on him. Here's the link. What you'll notice is a decent outside shot and some pretty impressive jumping ability.

Another kid who might be worth looking at is Charlie Russell from Sophie B. Wright. He's 6-7, and he's grown 2 or 3 inches over the past year or so. Russell averaged 17 and 11 on a team with two other college signees (Gregory Hammond is going to Rhode Island, and D.J. Burns is going to Southern), but he's the post player and might have the best upside of the bunch. There's the potential for a Tyrus Thomas type sleeper here.

Here's Russell's Hudl film. There's a lot of good defense on it and a lot of hustle, though you can tell he'd profit from a redshirt year in a strength and conditioning program.

I'm not saying LSU is on either one of these kids, but with four scholarships to give and a real need for only one or two impact kids it might be a decent idea to use some scholarships on developmental players and both of these kids fit that bill - and I can't imagine they wouldn't jump on an LSU offer if one came.

Charlie yes. Hunter na.
