Lis Shoshi, and big men by Sun Belt standards

After over a decade as a fan within the bounds of the SBC, I have about come to the conclusion that 6-7 or 6-8 is about all you can expect to sign as "big" players on any sort of a regular basis. If you can get a 6-8 kid who can really play, be thankful for him. A good percentage of those taller than that will be "projects." We have had a number of players who were taller than that, but not all of them panned out. Some did not stay, some could not play. A few stayed, and could play, and we were glad to have them.

Lis Shoshi can play, and every indication is that his ceiling is high (speaking of ability, not size). We need to enjoy him, because it is not every day that we will get a 6-11 player who can get the job done from the get-go.
