International player CU is recruiting. Would be able to transfer after this year. 4 years to play 3. Means he could redshirt or Mills could and we'd still have two Centers in the rotation next season.

13.2 Points
9.4 Rebounds
4.8 Blocks
0.9 Assists
0.6 Steals

February 9th - Silva named National Junior College (NJCAA) Player of the Week

Rodrigo Silva, Laramie County Community College men's basketball sophomore center, was named the Division I Player of the Week by the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) on Feb. 9. He earned this award after dominating the paint last weekend and averaging a triple-double during the course of two games.

The sophomore from Brazil put up impressive numbers on Feb. 4 in an 86-68 victory over Otero Junior College, posting 18 points, 13 rebounds, eight blocks and two assists. The next day, Silva continued his dominance and had a triple-double, filling up the stat sheet with 16 points, 13 rebounds and 13 blocks in a 91-85 win over Lamar Community College.

Silva's hot streak continued in Tuesday night's game against the Plainsmen from Northeastern Junior College and came close to yet another triple-double, with 12 points, 11 rebounds and 7 blocks in the 94-67 win.

I'm pretty certain that the "sophomore" thing in this article is inaccurate. The roster on the LCCC team site (http://www.lccc.wy.edu/athletics/mensBasketball/roster) lists him as a freshman. Also, a poster on Rivals whose nephew is Fairview's Travis Shepherd (sophomore on the team) said he's a freshman.

[HotRack]

Don't care what it takes. We need a big in the worst way.

[RK]

And he plays along side fairview alum and sharpshooter Travis Shepherd who is 6'5 and shooting over 50% from 3 this season, including a game the other night that he went 10-11 from distance and finished with 38 pts, would be a good replacement for levi. Maybe we can get them as a package

[rodrigo]

A must-get, in my opinion :smile:
