We mentioned last month that Illinois big man Ibby Djimde was on campus for a visit. Djimde has still not made a decision in regards to where he will play next, but that has not kept Coach Gee from being interested in a couple of other transfer big men.

Longwood has expressed interest in Tulane transfer Lotanna Nwogbo and Tulsa transfer Zeldric King. Also, VCU big man Justin Tuoyo announced he was transferring yesterday and Longwood is expected to knock on his door.
Nwogbo is a 6'8 forward/center from Georgia who saw his playing time drop with the Green Wave this past year. In his freshman campaign he averaged 7.3 minutes and 2.6 points per game. This past year’s his minutes dropped to 4.2 per game and his points dropped to 1.1. He’s looking to spend his last two years of eligibility at a spot where he could garner more playing time.
Zeldric King has three years of eligibility left after finishing his freshman year at Tulsa. King is a bruiser at 6'7, 265 lbs and was recruited by Tulsa’s previous coach Doug Wojcik and didn’t fit in Danny Manning’s scheme. He appeared in 21 games averaging 16 minutes, 4 points, and 2 rebounds per game. He missed the final twelve games of the year with a leg injury. He could find his way to College of Charleston where Wojcik currently is.
Former VCU Ram Justin Tuoyo is a 6'9 athletic big who appeared in 26 games for the Rams, averaging over 7 minutes. He averaged just over one point and one rebound per game, but comes from an up-tempo system that will likely translate to Longwood well. He may look to move closer to home, Georgia, but if he’s looking for playing time then Longwood could be an appealing place for him.
