7' 6" high schooler chooses UCF

Donovan should be fired for not landing this guy!

No, you need to fire Foley for hiring Donovan.

Well our team is designed around Defense and if you can't get back on defense your height really does not matter. Trust in coach and perhaps if it is to be a transfer will be in his future.

He wants to be a biochemist which is right down UCF lane with their new medical program. Also, he does not run well enough for Billy's style IMHO but he could sure protect the rim once he got to it.

A biochemist? Being 7'6" gets you a few years in the NBA, even if you completely suck.

Then what is he to do after his few years of the NBA?

Go back to school to become a biochemist? With the money you make in the pros, you can take your time at that point and get whatever education you need.

True. Guess he just wants to get a head start on his education.

Ox is correct, see this guy (even he had a few decent years):

Tako Fall probably runs very well. I read where he spent his childhood playing soccer in his original country.
Family is close knit. He wanted to stay near home. ('though Gainesville is just over 1 hour) He has a younger
brother who I bet is xs-tall.?

He puts academics first and has wanted to be a biochemist since childhood? Can you see him hunched over
looking into a microscope? That'll injure him more than the NBA.

He's 7'6" and plays in a 1A small private school yet only averages 11 points and 1 block per game. How can that be? All he should have to do is stand under the basket and be fed ally-oop passes all game long and score 50 points. Same with blocks. Just stand there and swat everything that comes your way.

I'm guessing he doesn't have a fast twitch muscle in his body.

You could just let hit stand at the defensive end of the court.
