Lebo landed a surprise signing that will be eligible for play this season.

Jabari Craig – 6’10” 235lbs (JR)
JUCO transfer with very modest numbers, but was heavily recruited/offered out of high school. He had offers from: USC, Arizona State, Arizona, Auburn, Clemson, UCONN, FSU, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Houston, KSU, LSU, Marquette, Memphis, Miss State, New Mexico, Purdue, South Carolina, Texas A&M

ECU has added some serious size in the post with 7’1” Andre Washington and 6’10” Jabari Craig, to go along with 6’10” RS-FR Deng Riak.

It will be nice to see ECU at least LOOK like a D1 team for a change. Whether or not they pan out is yet to be seen.

This is a good late signing pick up, but past being a body who can eat up some minutes you may want to pump the brakes a bit.

Yes he had a lot of P5 offers and choose USC but he couldn’t get on campus because he was academically ineligible. Then in 2014 he signed a letter of intent to play at Hutchsion Community College in Kansas, but didn’t end up there. He played last year for Pearl River Community College where he played in 21 games but only started 4. He averaged 8 minutes, 3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.1 assists per game. He had no significant offers so he committed to and signed a letter of intent to Cal State Northridge in the Big West Conference before flipping to ECU.

Academically you may have an issue getting him on the court and with his level of JUCO stats I can’t see him being much of a factor given the AAC level of competition. If this guy has more than 1 year of eligibility left all he is doing is eating a scholarship and he isn’t going to help getting your roster to an AAC level of talent.
