He and Purvis both played on the USA u-17 team, who won the gold this summer! 95-62 against Australia.

11/16/2012 8:02:59 PM

wait, since when was tww held back by facts?

now, can we please resume with the sensationalism...

11/16/2012 8:09:10 PM

#22 kinda reminds me of Adam from Workaholics

11/16/2012 8:11:58 PM

Great news, looks like a solid big man pick up. Welcome to the pack Beejay Anya!

11/16/2012 8:12:26 PM

We have so many scorers. This guy will help make up for the rebounding and post defense we are losing when Howell and Leslie move on. If we somehow land Randle, we won't miss a beat next year.

11/16/2012 8:22:25 PM

I like that his name is Chukwunonso Beejay Nduka-Anya but that his three sisters are named: Stephanie, Renee and Brooke.

11/16/2012 8:25:33 PM

We should be excited, this is big-time. A true, bad-ass big-man who can guard the center. From DeMatha!

11/16/2012 8:32:52 PM

Is Randle the only one left we're chasing now? How many schollies do we have left for next year in case we want a transfer or JuCo kid?

11/16/2012 8:33:23 PM

When does randle announce

11/16/2012 8:35:16 PM

^^it depends on if CJL and Brown go pro, but i think we have at least 2 or 3 if they stick around for their senior seasons, 4 or 5 if they both leave

might be wrong, but scholarship numbers aren't really an issue afaik

11/16/2012 8:38:29 PM

Just to keep my classes straight, the twins are in the 2014 class right? Not next year

11/16/2012 8:40:56 PM

^^^He hasn't set a date, but it will almost certainly be in the spring after he takes some official visits.

[Edited on November 16, 2012 at 8:41 PM. Reason : .]

11/16/2012 8:41:32 PM

By my count, we have:

9 scolarships occupied this season (lb, tl, rp, sw, tjw, cjl, tdt, rh, jv)
-2 graduate (Wood and Howell)
+1 transfer-in (Turner, after practicing with the team this season)
+3 recruits (Barber, Washington and ANYA!)
-2 maybe (Leslie & Brown)
___

that's 9 to 11 schollies taken for 2013/14, depending if cjl or brown leave.
which means we still have 2 to 4 spots to offer next season, including randle. (and we've got 2014/15 verbals from the martin twins)

[Edited on November 16, 2012 at 8:51 PM. Reason : ]

11/16/2012 8:49:18 PM

Randle said he wants to see who goes pro after this year, so he won't be announcing before the end of March.

We have plenty of scholarships to go around. I have to imagine that we'll chase a few JuCos and/or transfers in the spring. Seems like we should be going after a SG for depth.

11/16/2012 8:52:06 PM

We are saving one more spot for Randle...we are done with the '13 other than him

[Edited on November 16, 2012 at 8:53 PM. Reason : ^LSU transfer Ralston Turner....we are good to go at the 2/3 spots]

11/16/2012 8:52:31 PM

1: Lewis, Barber
2/3: Purvis, Turner, Warren
4/5: Warren, TDT, Big Dandy Vandy, Anya, Washington

11/16/2012 9:23:29 PM

Is it me or did he block that same flat top kid 3 times in that video

11/16/2012 10:43:14 PM

Absurdly premature, but say Leslie and Brown leave, Randle goes elsewhere and everyone else stays/qualifies. What do you think the main rotation would look like

3 guard: Purvis, Lewis, Barber with Turner coming in off the bench or maybe Barber, Purvis, Turner with Lewis off the bench
2 bigs: Warren and Anya/Washington +/- spot duty for TDT/Vandenberg

We would be stacked if Randle came. Obviously he won't come if CJL stays, but that's not going to happen barring injury. Do you think Zo staying or leaving affects his decision either way?

11/16/2012 11:10:36 PM

zo gone.

11/16/2012 11:59:57 PM

^^
lewis
purvis
warren
washington (randle if we land him)
anya

warren still sees minutes at 4. turner and barber are first off the bench. warren, TBDV, TDT provide additional frontcourt depth as needed.

11/17/2012 2:40:24 AM

tbdv will never play quality minutes

11/17/2012 3:20:32 AM

who the hell is tbdv?

11/17/2012 3:25:53 AM

i would have a hard time seeing barber not starting over lewis

11/17/2012 3:32:32 AM

then you'll have a hard time. barber might win the job by the end of the year depending on how things go, but there's no chance he starts over lewis from day one. none.

11/17/2012 4:43:37 AM

Anya and Meeks are going to have some epic battles.

11/17/2012 7:08:02 AM

Can Meeks even dunk?

11/17/2012 7:56:46 AM

I feel like Barber would/should start over Lewis.

11/17/2012 9:18:33 AM

It's not a bad think when a fanbase is arguing over which of their top50 recruits will start.
i also feel that lewis will probably be starting over barber, at least early in the season. but let's just wait and see.

11/17/2012 10:04:19 AM

lewis so far has looked pretty much exactly as I expected

so hopefully cat is good enough to start over him

11/17/2012 10:20:47 AM

I don't see either Washington or Anya being dominant bigs early on. It's going to take some time for them to adapt to the college game and Gott's system.

I bet it'll be
Lewis/Barber
Purvis
Turner
Warren
Anya/Washington

Hopefully it'll be
Lewis/Barber
Purvis
Warren/Turner
Randle
Anya/Washingotn

he looks like he needs to get on the Rich Howell workout plan if you ask me...Howell looks like a completely different person from 2 yrs ago

apparently it'll get started this December 8th in D.C., when DeMatha goes against West Charlotte.

11/17/2012 10:26:12 AM

This year we landed three recruits from NC.

Next year we have guys from Virginia, D.C., and Minnesota.

[Edited on November 17, 2012 at 10:43 AM. Reason : and Texas?]

11/17/2012 10:41:45 AM

He's definitely going to have to get on an intensive workout program.

11/17/2012 12:22:38 PM

out of all our recent recruits, anya may be the one im most excited about. been awhile since we've had a dominant big man, with legit shot blocking abilities.

11/17/2012 12:45:24 PM

little head ced

11/17/2012 12:53:19 PM

i feel like hickson gets greatly undervalued b/c he played for a horrible coach. that dude was good.

11/17/2012 2:33:08 PM

So, WHEN are these guys (barber, washington) gonna sign and should we be worried that they are unsure?

11/17/2012 3:15:59 PM

They already did

11/17/2012 3:23:46 PM

OK nebermind
