Maybe you guys have made a new thread but just thought i'd put this out there.
I didn't see anything (and I could've very well scrolled right past it) about Chris Olivier, the 6'8 PF who committed to UNI in May. Should provide some help in UNI's post and inside game although he needs to shape up his defense. His ratings on ESPN are from when he left highschool (so nothing special, about a 74?? maybe), he has elevated his stock quite a bit after a year at Quakerdale Prep where he had 15 ppg/ 8 rpg/ and 3.8 bpg against pretty good JC level competition (I believe they won a national championship to finish last season and CO led the team in those 3 respective catagories). He will have 4 years of eligibilty with Coach Jacobson and Co. and will give UNI 1 player from Chicago, Minneapolis, KC and Austin, respectively, of their 6 committs (a pretty diverse group by Panther bball standards). Of the 6, 3 ended last season as state champions, 1 as a national champion, and 1 as a Central Texas POY.
One negative side of his committment is that UNI has 13 scholarships and CO is number 14, so something will need to be worked out to free up a scholarship for him (a transfer, someone volunteering to give their's up, etc...)
In any case this is shaping up to be one HECK of an incoming class for the MVC teams. Basketball season can come soon enough. Get ready folks!
