Keep an eye on him-we will have major interest
Played at Loyola-Chicago his first two years with a pretty limited amount of playing time, and I think he got hurt year 2 (so might have a second medical redshirt year to play? Not sure)

He had been a pretty big recruit for Loyola's level, #236 nationally, offers from Mississippi State, TCU and Virginia Tech.

Originally from Omaha.

Totally blew up this year at Northern CO, replacing Dalton Knecht as their go-to guy.

If Maddox were to come here he would play the Harmon role and likely be a significant upgrade especially offensively. Right now they are targeting more role player types-the big fish will be in the coming weeks
Edey still has a year left, right?:)

Someone posted that returners Dainja, Hansberry and Morez looks like we'll be pretty well fixed for bigs next year. I can't agree. I love Dain, but he does have some limitations as well as strength. Morez may be very skilled, but hasn't ever played a college game. Hansberry has played so few minutes he's practically a freshman himself. And does any one of them have a perimeter game (on offense)? Furthermore, incoming frosh Jakstys (sp?) seems to have made it clear that he needs to redshirt a year to develop more strength and muscle mass. To me, it seems like we need to import at least one or two skilled bigs. In the backcourt we don't have even one proven scorer. I hate to use the word "rebuilding," but it sure looks like BU has his work cut out. Rodgers and Goode are going to be very important.

The big fish is Storr I’m assuming

The roster next year will win 20+ games once again, we will have a ton of talent once again. Never going to be a problem with BU
