UP's offer to Gumwell, originally from South Sudan, but now going to school in Southern California, is his second...the first coming from Coach Legans when he was a EWU.

Cyprian Hyde is from San Diego, and holds one other offer...and you guessed it, from Coach Legans while at EWU.

Hiede's sister, Sela, is a 6-7 center at Cal.

Mount Si is, of course, the same school that developed 6-9 F Hayden Curtiss.

With both parents being former OSU centers, Jason Heide(6-10") and Sissel Pierce (6-4"), Miles could end up close to 7 feet tall. Probably not a bad idea to get an offer in early.
In high school, mom blocked 17 shots in a single game...

Nice of GamepointNation to let us know that 6-10 Cyprian Hyde will be on campus next week instead of having to wait for StudentPilot to tell us he's seen a tall stranger on campus.

Haha, I guess I am batting about .333 in recognizing visiting recruits, but as I am now in a remote part of the world where Wi-Fi is only available about 2 hours a day, I can barely keep up with PilotNation let alone visiting recruits.

I plan to be back on campus in January and look forward to the exciting basketball season ahead.

Go Pilots!!
