No idea...but he isn't a D1 scholarship kid. He has a post skill set without a post's body, and his athleticism isn't up to snuff. He may have had a few walk-on sniffs after thos year, but UIndy was his best offer for a reason.

I've seen him play a couple of times. He's decently athletic for a 6'7" kid. He gets a ton of garbage put back buckets since his size is taller than average in HS. He doesn't have handles like an undersized forward like Shumate. Lots of buckets around the rim. I can see why he's not getting D1 looks. If I was a HS coach, you'd love to have him on your team. Tall, good kid works hard, is a leader. In D1 he'd be undersized for a forward, but not skilled enough to play the 2 or 3. A tweener who will find a role at D2.
