If you want to see something extraordinary, get to the Smith Center on Thursday: GW faces the University of Central Florida and their 7'6" center Tacko Fall.
Fall, who was previously recruited by GW, is a sophomore averaging 13.8 points and an absurd 13.1 rebounds, plus 23 blocks over 9 games. And he's only their third leading scorer. (However, starting PG BJ Taylor will be out for the game and most of the OOC season, so that at least helps GW a bit.)
Last year GW played UCF and Kevin Larsen and the other Colonial big men were able to use their speed against then-freshman Fall, but he seems to have improved greatly over the offseason.
Here's some video of Fall in action. Dang. It will be an interesting matchup, for sure.

And he apparently eats 7600 calories a day.
