This just in: www.njcaa.org/sports/mbkb/2014-15/div1/players/davarismcgowensutp7thefcsaasports.com/sports/mbkb/2015-16/players/davarismcgowensrp3bMcGowans is listed at 6'6", 230 lbs. He is a wide body rebounder with decent offensive post presence in the paint. Pretty athletic guy from reports, 3-sport star in high school down in SC. He signed originally with Southern Mississippi in 2014. www.southernmiss.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/112113aad.htmlSome bio info on McGowens from the Southern Miss basketball web site - "McGowens, a 6-6, forward, is currently at Gray Military Academy. He is the two-time South Carolina Basketball Coaches Association 3A Player of the Year. Last year, he averaged 19 points, 11 rebounds and three assists. He led Eastside to a 25-4 record and a berth in the 3A Championship Game, where he scored 28 points and grabbed 19 rebounds. He was also named All-Region All-Greenville County and the Greenville County Player of the Year."

I like the signing..Looks like the guy can play. I met with Coach this past week. I believe he has a plan to turn things around.

No doubt just watched some video on him...kinda like a Charles Barkley, undersized power forward with guard like skills and a big body....This guy can create his own shot..
I hope we can also pick up Richard Sanders from Richmond we have an offer in to him.

Looks like this guy was a serious Clemson recruit at DE at one time. Will he play football too?

Sanders looks a little like a Brandon Ingram.

We've got to get bigger, and it seems as though Coach Joyner is definitely addressing that. This kid is listed as a 6'6" SG.
EXCERPT FROM Q&A
"...What skill set are your bringing to North Carolina A&T on and off the court?
“My versatility and focus… Versatility on the court, and stay focus off the court with class and staying out of trouble.”
How did you get into playing basketball?
“Honestly man I don’t know lol it all started in 8th grade when I started to grow and out of no where I picked up a ball and wanted to play. Sprouted from 5’8 to 6’0 in a school and went on from there.”
What led you to pick North Carolina A&T?
“The head coach I believe he sees something in me that no other coaches do . He’s very serious about basketball and wants to win. He believes in work! Do that and everything falls in place, he’s also a good guy, very laid back.”

Watson has been mentioned in previous threads over the last 90 days... but he is a reason for optimism, yes....

The things that stood out to me on Watson: ------------------------------------------ Who inspires you and who gave you the best advice about life or basketball?
“Most important was my father, he said life is like a calculator whatever you put in is what you get. So if you put BS that’s what you gone get and if you put in work and sacrificing times to be great that’s the results you’ll get.”
How many shots a day do you take when you are either done with practice or free shooting?
“After practice it’s normally 250-300 made shots and free shooting I imagine someone is guarding me and I work on moves goin’ into my jump shot”------------------------------------------ Those are things you can't teach. He's been raised to be a grinder. That's what Coach Joyner is looking for.
