I know nothing about Boser or Valdosta State, so don't have much to offer. Looking at his bios at VSU and UMKC, looks like he put some weight on but game stayed the same? Listed at 6'8 200lbs at UMKC, and bio says he "made a name for himself as a three-point specialist". At VSU, he's listed at 6'8 230 lbs.. 4.5 boards basically both seasons at VSU, so doesn't appear to be a huge inside player even tho he beefed up. Took the most 3's on the team at VSU last year. Looks like he hits a fair percentage.
I think most of us would like to see someone more inclined to beat the boards? Who knows, maybe Pedon sees something there if turned loose. Maybe he figgers a healthy/older Chase + healthy Lieb = better inside game? I'm still waiting for the Coke machine!
