I've been to a few practices and I saw that he was greatly improved. He will get significant minutes on this team.

If you would have said this before the season, I would have called you an idiot, but now it's looking slightly feasible.

Wow what a player!!! (in my best les miles voice).

ADP!

I knew him from his Tiger Band years. Great guy and it's awesome he's getting good and getting some exposure.

I'd say he's the most skilled big man at LSU since Glen Davis...
