We think of Lamb and Cornley (Hank, not Eric) as being big bodies and they were for their time, but if I'm not mistaken Leroy Watkins was the first here to be listed on the roster north of 250.

I had the pleasure to meet Chase yesterday at the EIU football game. Our Birds had a tent set up to market the men's basketball program. Chase came right up to me, talked and was a gentleman. This youngster is a Mountain of a Young Man - he's really not heavy or pudgy in any way - I personally hope he tones the body up as his coaches wish but keeps the frame - we ain't had anything like this build and I'm so excited for our future w/Pedon and staff.

I fast forwarded thru the game with stops when Walker scored. Chase had 23 of his teams 43 in a 4 point loss. Chase has a good touch near the hoop and at the line. He really needs to work on his agility and speed. He did not seem to jump much or at all, but the opponent was much smaller than he was.

Every time I see clips of Chase there are a few things that consistently stick out


Soft touch from 6 to 10 ft
His passing
His agility with 1 to 2 dribbles

There are things to work on but he is very intriguing signing.

Fun fact. He doesn’t play a single home game this year. They are building a new facility that won’t be ready until May. Their current gym isn’t regulation size so they can’t host events. Also, his team is BAD. It will be interesting to see how he can elevate with better support.
