How did a 4-star center end up at USF anyway? Roccaforte must have a magic wand!

Will Egbunu be eligible to play right away or have to sit a year? I am not familiar with his situation.

He would have to sit out a year. And as far as I can tell Roccaforte was in on Egbunu really early which I guess made the difference in his recruitment.

Darius Leonard - Campbell

• I’ve had a lot of people ask me about Darius Leonard’s ear, and I was told it was an infection that occurred when he had an earring ripped out, and that he wouldn’t be able to have it taken care of surgically until after the season. It doesn’t seem to affect his hearing.

6-9 center who can rebound, score and shoot 3's at a 38% clip? Yes please.

6-9 center who can rebound, score and shoot 3's at a 38% clip? Yes please.

And he has three mitts to block shots with.....

Seriously, glad he had surgery to get that thing fixed....didn't know all that could happen from getting an earring ripped out.

Oh, and Marshall Wood is done focusing on academics....

Bummer on Leonard.

Still need some height...

 

[ACC_HOKIES]

It's no surprise regarding Wood. I'm not sure he knows what he wants. I will not be surprised if he doesn't last at his next stop, but wish him well regardless.
