He was a chubby, tall kid from suburban Chicago with mid & low major offers. Loyola projected what his ability could be, took a kid who was willing to work and remade his body over the course of a summer and fall. A new slimmer body and they coached him up on playing as a big in college and they've got guy who will be a 4 year all conference player.
Classic case of being to project out what big can do and develop them. It goes back to the developing bigs stuff in the wish list thread.

Pierce could have developed much like this young man...but you have to want it. Pierce lacked that desire.
