Preacher came into Casper lightly recruited (1/1) for a big man that averaged 17.2ppg, 8.3rpg and a combined 3.5 defense (1.8spg and 1.7bpg) out of Detroit (C17). He really wanted to play for a winning program and Casper had won the NTT championship just a few seasons ago and followed that with a nice run into the Gr8. Casper appeared the be just what Preacher was looking for and a 6'10" defensive big man was what coach warak was looking for at the same time. The recruiting class was ranked 5/1 and also included 6'11" Paul Lund, also in the Casper Hall of Fame, and 6'7" Rigoberto Blevins. | Preacher came into Casper lightly recruited (1/1) for a big man that averaged 17.2ppg, 8.3rpg and a combined 3.5 defense (1.8spg and 1.7bpg) out of Detroit (C17).
