One to Watch



Looking for a potential sleeper big man if a 2010 scholarship opens?  The Kent School in Connecticut has a big man who is flying under the radar that might be worth a look.

Theodore Boyomo is a 6'9 Cameroon native with a developing game.  New England Recruiting Report named Boyomo the top defensive center in New England last summer, noting:

The big man is as college ready of a defensive anchor as there is in New England. He does it all on this end of the floor with the size and strength to guard opposing low post scorers without help on the block, the mobility and timing to erase teammate’s mistakes with his help-side shot blocking, and nose for the ball to finish plays by cleaning up the glass.

ESPN rates Boyomo as an 88 and last summer reported:

Boyomo is a game changer on the defensive end who is starting to show some signs offensively. Physically, he's got everything including good size, length, strength, mobility, and athleticism. He's a big time shot blocker with good timing, especially when coming from the weak side of the floor, and is also tremendous on the glass, rebounding in traffic as well as out of his area. His offense remains behind his defense but is rapidly improving.
