How many years of eligibility??

How many years of eligibility??[/quote]He should have 2 years. Can only spend your first 2 years of eligibility at a JUCO.

Devarte was a high school senior in 2013. Will have 2 years left assuming the year he missed at Delaware doesn’t count against him. Averaged 6.5 ppg, 7.7 rpg, and 1.7 bpg at Cape Fear CC last season. Needs to work on FT % big time.

[b]Strengths:[/b] Watson is a physically aggressive post that looks to dunk everything around the rim. He's well built with a strong frame, changes ends well to be a factor in transition, and elevates through contact to play above the rim.

Devarte never made it to Delaware.

Hence the word “missed”. :wink: Yes, I could have phrased that better.

Good deal. Thanks. Did not know if he might have 3 years since some kids are coming out after only one year of JUCO. Hoping for a Rodman like player for the interior who can rebound, run and fill on the break.

Nice get. Long and athletic. Exactly what we need in CUSA. Surround some length with good shooters and we are in business.

Concerning Devarte… what will he be doing this year? Year off?

DeVarte will be signing with Charlotte on Wednesday.

Bump for a guy that actually signed with us.

I like the DeVarte addition, good to see him sign. When folks talk about what we’re missing on the roster this year, it’s rebounding and defense. That’s what DeVarte will bring, should be a solid role guy for us.

Watched 3 minutes of his game tonight, had 2 nice blocks and caught an alley oop. Don’t think he will be too much of an offensive factor but he is athletic enough to alter a lot of shots for us.

I watched the first half of his game tonight on reply, compiled some clips here:
