Despite the 2-5 start for his squad, he's remained a consistent shot-blocking presence for opponents to become aware of. He notched 10 blocks in their close 62-61 loss to Holly Springs to close out the month of November. Look for him to find his stride and some traction on the recruiting trail very soon.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6577eb86f06ab"} /-->
