From the Detroit News, Otis Polk, 6.9, 285 from Detroit has verballed to BG. He picked us over Detroit Mercy.
Polk was on The Detroit News' first team Class C All-State after averaging 17 points, 10 rebounds and 3.5 blocks.
I'm excited about this. We continue to recruit Detroit well, partly exploiting a hole left by CMU. LaMonta Stone probably is helpful in this area, but its really important for a MAC team in our area to be recruiting that area effectively, as there is a lot of talent. He had been sighted at the hoops banquet, which was probably a decent sign we had him on board.
According to this, he got eligible late, which ramped up the offers...finally, he's done with school, so he's going to be on board next season.
I just think that with him as a wide body inside taking pressure off Marschall, we open up the outside a lot. We also have 6'9" Marc Larson, also of Michigan, who is even higher ranked than Polk.
I'll tell you this. If everything can stay together, I like the idea of Eric Marschall as a senior and Otis Polk and Marc Larson as juniors bringing home the bacon for a MAC title.
