6-11 240 Szymon Zapala! We beat out the likes of Stanford, Wake Forest, Maryland and Minnesota to get him!

Looks like he has an elite set of hands and can turn over either shoulder.

Per the man, myth the legend. Also guessing 22 had something to do with getting him evaluated on 247.

He reminds me of Luka Garza from Iowa who was runner up for Naismith trophy. Good around the rim. Same height, a little lighter, but still has time to put on weight. I have a good feeling about this guy. Super excited for the future of Aggie bball!

So does this mean the rumors about John leaving are true?

Remember when we couldn't recruit a big man to save our life for about 3 years? I like being on this side of recruiting.

You mean you don’t miss Barnaba and Janicek? Lol

Yossarian · Post by **Yossarian** » May 19th, 2020, 6:17 pm

How do the bigs in the system now compare to the ones of recent years?

Barnaba
Niang
Shaw
Mattheus
Jorssen
Stone
and the like?

I liked Stone more than Shaw. Shaw hit the back iron too much.

Stall is not taking a spot. We have 2 open spots.

And we’ll get to hear “tallest team in the country” about 10 times a broadcast again.

This is true and Nigel John is NOT coming. We have 2 scholarships left.

Pick up Gach and the skinny PG from Minnesota and call it a day.

Damn. Not gonna lie, I like the strength, footwork, and look of John over this new commit but you can't force a kid to come.

MrBiggle · Post by **MrBiggle** » May 20th, 2020, 12:47 pm

I like his style. And its nice to see he may have been playing against other kids close to his same height. Hopefully he learns a lot from Nemi next year.

SectionBAggie · Post by **SectionBAggie** » May 20th, 2020, 2:44 pm

Seems to have a good feel for the pick and roll. Not many HS age big men have that.

GoldcoastAggie · Post by **GoldcoastAggie** » May 20th, 2020, 2:54 pm

for a guy that has only been playing for ball for 3 years he looks really good. We don't get too many 4 star recruits.

This is the most excited I have been about a big man signing in the last 11 years since Modou Niang.

Let me clarify that I say this in the way that the sports information director might say it. This is also the most excited I have been about a big man signing since last week.

But I remember being pretty excited about Niang back in 2009.

SectionBAggie · Post by **SectionBAggie** » May 20th, 2020, 3:40 pm

I am pretty sure that Niang didn’t have a star rating- and sure that no one had him as a 4*.

I thought we've had a few over the years MacEwen, Jalen Moore, and Jordan Stone come to mind. Not to mention McChesney.

A quick look at 247 shows McEwen as a high 3 star, Moore as a 2 star, and Stone had no stars.

McEwen was 4 star on ESPN but i believe that was the only platform that rated him that highly.

I would be very disappointed in the rating system if Stone were a 4 star recruit.

4-star? No. Koby, Jalen and Jordan were not. Jalen and Jordan were not even close. Koby was close and may have been an ESPN 4-star. I guess when I refer to 4-star, I'm always referring to 247sports, for obvious reasons.
