Posted a few days ago about BU landing 7'1" center Mat Piotrowski from New Jersey and I realized how vague it is to just put someone down as a seven footer, especially since big guys can be such a mixed bag. Sure this guy's tall, but is he bulky? Does he have decent footwork? How're his hands? Can he rebound? God forbid, does he have a decent jumper?
Being a BU recruit, Piotrowski isn't exactly burning up YouTube like John Wall was last year or anything, but there's some footage below of him in some practice drills. Don't take too much from these, obviously, because the kid's shooting uncontested shots in a video that I can only assume is supposed to make him look good, but it's still a glimpse into an intriguing recruit who we know almost nothing about as of now.
From what I can tell, he's got pretty good footwork for someone of his size that wasn't a high-major prospect, and even though the shots are uncontested, draining mid-range jumpers is still way too much to ask for a lot of America East big men. Plus, this kid can flush it quickly, effectively and with authority when he gets it on the low block, something BU was really missing from a guy like Pelage last year.
We'll keep the recruits and all up to date into the summer, and it'll probably be a brief break here up through finals week for the two of us
