I've been hearing TONS about Nick Aldridge lately, that he's tough, hard-working, good height, quick under the basket, and he was recruited by Huggins, so he MUST be good. But just to look at the other side here...I know Huggins recruited him, but if he was so good, why did he end up at Western Carolina? Were any other big-time schools recruiting him, or was UC just going to take a chance? Will he REALLY be able to start this year, his first in a big conference, over a player like Bishop with big-game experience? And is that huge offensive production just a product of being at a small school? What are your thoughts on him? Only time will tell, of course, but anyone who's got some concrete information, it would be much appreciated.

here is what i know about him.

he is a big guy,  6-7/230. he can score( thank god).

he can score from inside and outside. mick said that he wants him to be able to score alot from the outside to strech the deffense out.

he has been compare to john williamson, but not as athletic. but can score more from the outside.

he played here this year vs uc. his stats were 22 pts and 3 rebounds in 39 min played.

i have no ideal why he went to a smaller school, the only thing i found was that he had a change of heart.

Yeah, I remember him tearing us up this year, but then again a lot of...well, below average players made UC look bad in the beginning of the season. Lets just hope he brings something we need to the table, that being made lay-ups, offensive rebounds, made jumpers....offense in general. And that IS all i've heard about this guy, that he's a natural scorer.
