have we "ever" had a player as tall as 6'11" or taller? closest i can remember was sinclair colbert who was 6'10" i believe... Don't we have a 6'10 that's transferring...? But, this pick-up should work really well with Ronald Jackson at the 4 and the other guy we picked up. We should have some exciting basketball this coming season. agreed. he's a perfect complement to rj. i was thinking the same thing. plus, he runs the floor extremely well for a near 7 footer, dude can "run the floor" and also shoot the 3...

I believe a couple of other things also came into play in Morrice signing with us. Our renowned international academic and research reputation in the sciences and the brand new state of the art School of Engineering that is currently under construction.
That and a chance to be an immediate impact player right away.

I like his size and also he is a typical international Big being able to play both inside and out and run the floor . Youngman has a good handle for his size also .

I just hope that they Maximize his Physical Athleticism and don't just regulate him totally to the paint With his size and A&T can put the right tools around him we may have something special in the making .

With the moving back of the 3-point line by the NCAA rules committee yesterday, those teams that will have those bigger and more athletic front courts are going to have a distinct advantage in college basketball this year. We are in a very good spot in that regard.

Parker is a solid pickup in the backcourt that brings a lot of experience, strong man skills, and the ability to create his own shot.
Touted as one of the great HS dunkers of all time, the former 3-star 6-2, 182 pound guard, a native of Fayetteville, NC via High Point Wesleyan, signed with Tennessee out of high school and spent last season at Cape Fear Community College.

I think he is going to be worth the price of admission to Corbett this winter.

I've seen a lot dunks from this kids before going to Tennessee. No where near as explosive off 1 foot vs 2 feet, but great pickup for us.

I think he is going to be worth the price of admission to Corbett this winter. 39 wins in 2 years... our local kids are starting to take notice. Kwe playing in High Point at Wesleyan means he's very familiar with Kam Langley. Gotta believe that playing with one of the best mid-major PGs in the country was a big part of closing the deal. The work begins now.
