ISU inks two players on signing day:

Hopefully he takes another step forward this year and has gotten a little bigger, but he'll be a good compliment to the wider bodied big men the Sycs have right now, IMO. He looks up to Justin Gant and made mention that he hopes his game can look a lot like Gant's in the future. I hope he was referring to the Gant that dominated for about a 3 week stretch last year and not the Gant who sometimes doesn't get the ball as often as he should. He was named to the Junior All-Star team by coaches last year as well.
Rickman sounds like the kind of big man you dream on and hope the ability catches up to the promise. Not sure that's the kind of player ISU
really needs right now, but time will tell.
Either way, two big men to replace Gant and Kitchell. Neither is likely to crack any national lists, but hopefully both are solid regional players this year in HA and can grow into solid contributors at ISU.
