lonestar Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 Aggie1212,The Aggies have signed three of the top 5 recruits in the Texas (per hoopscoop), including number one Jordan that you mentioned. Jordan is considered a top 10 player in the nation and will most likely be in Aggieland only a year until he goes to the NBA.Those that have signed a LOI are:Deandre Jordan HT: 7-0 WT: 240 CenterNathan Walkup HT: 6-7 WT: 185 Small ForwardB.J. Holmes HT: 5-10 WT: 160 Point GuardDerrick Lewis HT: 6-5 WT: 200 Shooting GuardAlso, The Ags recently signed a JUCO transfer for next year:Viktor Dubovitskiy HT: 6-7 WT: 210 Small ForwardViktor Dubovitskiy is a 6-7, 210-pound small forward who joins Chipola after spending his freshman season at Salt Lake City Community College. “He’s a three- or four-type guy,” said Chipola head coach Greg Heiar. “He can be a face-up four or play the three out on the wing. He can really shoot the ball, and he continues to develop on the defensive end.” Dubovitskiy, a native of Moscow, Russia, averaged 13.7 points and 4.4 rebounds while starting 26 of 30 games a year ago at Salt Lake City Community College (22-8). He shot 50 perfect from the floor (141 of 282) and 43 percent from behind the three-point arc (34 of 79). He also made 69.6 percent of his free-throw attempts.It will be interesting to see what Gillispie does now that the talent is starting to roll in. The lowest rated recruit for this class is a three star. For a little perspective, the highest rated recruit A&M has playing now is a three star.Hope that helps. Gig'em!
