I'm excited about this kid. I think he's been overlooked because of NAW and Wabissa coming in, but I think that's completely ok. He might not be great this upcoming season, but I think he has a lot of potential going forward. He's one of those players that fills Buzz's OKG mold.
From the press release:
Horne is a 6-6, 230 lbs. forward from Tifton, Georgia. He played his high school basketball at Tift County High School. He was a teammate of Hokie Tyrie Jackson as a freshman, sophomore and junior. He played four years of varsity basketball at Tift County for coach Eric Holland. While at Tift County, the team was 111-10 in four years, with four consecutive regional championships. He scored 1,671 career points, grabbed 811 career rebounds and had 203 career blocked shots.
As a senior, he averaged 25.3 points and 11.0 rebounds per game, scoring more than 700 points.

6-6, 230 is not exactly a twig. I think he's going to be a good player for us, and if he can grow an inch or two he can potentially be a great player.
He kinda reminds of JT Thompson, hopefully he can have better injury luck than poor JT (when JT was healthy he was a beast.)
Leday proved you don't have to be taller to be a great player.
Outstanding.
Gotta love the Buzz. This program gets better and better.
I'm seeing a Z. LeDay type player (i.e. Warrior) with a better stroke.

I don't know exactly why, and I'm certainly no expert, but I have a real good feeling about this kid. I think he's going to be a real good player for us.
Aye. I have nothing real to base this off of, but I feel this guy is going to be super productive for us in the long run. A couple years from now, we going to be real glad we got him
This should be fun
