Big Man on Campus!

I read a rumor on the Valpo Fan Message Board that Vashil Fernandez is on the VU campus taking class this second summer session and will be playing this upcoming season.  Standing 6'11'', Fernandez gives Valpo a true center to guard and score in the paint.  Fernandez's strengths on ESPN are listed as his shot blocking ability, his good lateral quickness, and his ability to jump quickly and score around the rim.  His weaknesses are listed as his lack of experience and his need to add some muscle weight.

From ESPN:
"A raw but talented big man with a good deal of potential, Fernandez shows the motor to capitalize on his physical tools and the intellect to pick up the game pretty quickly without developing any bad habits. As he continues to develop his offensive skills and add more strength to his frame his impact will rise accordingly."

Here is an article from a Jamaican newspaper that featured Vashil.

I'm very excited about this news and can't wait to see what Valpo can do defensively with Vashil defending the bucket!  This rumor has been confirmed by several of the other new comers on the team!
