Vermont, Butler, Columbia, Siena : Not hard to believe. If it was Duke, Kentucky, UCLA, yes then hard to believe.

Good luck Ollie, we hardly knew ye.

When you are 6'9" and don't weigh 200 lbs, how can you expect to excel in D1 mid-major and up? 25 schools may have expressed interest. But 15 were probably in Canada. Ya gotta be a guard or Marcus Camby. I wish Olivier well. I'm glad he did forfeit any time and got the r/s.

McGill has a lot of recruits but all but two are foreigners!

Is anyone else as offended as I am that McGill's mascot is the the Redmen??

They should be something like the Grey WolfPeople.

Good luck to Ollie.

The fact that Ollie was recruited to McGill, and apparently was wanted by Columbia, suggests that he's an excellent student. That's a side of him I didn't know.

I wish Ollie luck, we never really got to see him so I'm not going to pass judgement on him as a player but as a student athlete I wish him all the luck at his new school and with his new team

The official site is saying that Brower is going to wear Camby's number.

And Eric Williams number and Alassane Kouyate's number. That ship sailed a while ago.

Back to Brower: there's an article in BU's paper today about him, and a former BU hockey player. The article's about their transfer out in pursuit of other opportunities.

The bit about Brower basically says how he wants to play professionally somewhere, someday, and how his chances increase by upgrading leagues from the AmEast to A-10.
