Not much hoop action to discuss this week, so why don't we talk about Big Ant?
This was sent to us from my buddy Shawn at Drexel - it's Anthony Ivory's scouting report from Scouts.com. And it may come as surprise to you, but Big Ant was a three-star recruit in his heyday....
So wait...who is this Big Jelly they speak of?? Is there another Ivory-like player roaming the college basketball landscape that we don't know about? The investigation has already begun...

Huge presence inside. Did some damage against Terrence Roberts at the 2002 Weber Fall Invitational. Get him the rock on the blocks and he’s efficient. Will always need to shed some pounds, but he gets things done. Injured to begin his junior season. High-major prospect is more skilled and a better basketball player than “Big Jelly” coming out of high school.

Look at him, so full of youthful energy...
I remember Nigel "Big Jelly" Dixon when he played for Florida State. At 6'11" and 320 pounds he was like Ivory, just more mobile. Kinda. Not really that mobile. I guess he transferred to Western Kentucky after a couple years.
I suppose there is a measurable difference in mobility between a guy who's 320 and a guy who's 370. And a richter-scale adjustment to be made.
I remember when Big Jelly came to WKU, watching him trying to shoot free throws. You can talk about Shaq all you want, but nobody bricked 'em like Big Jelly. He must have had about a 33% average. One of the coaches there was saying that he was the first true lost cause they'd ever seen because his hands were just too big to properly achieve the right dynamics for shooting free throws.
