2007 PROSPECT: Dwight is a 6’8” PF with a 7’3” wingspan.  Plays AAU for the Illinois Wolves.  Early returns are that Dwight has good post moves, decent handle with a nice mid range jump shot.  He’s still growing and is already adept at blocking shots.  Ranked here as the #11 ranked PF in Illinois (ranking made in 2004).  Recently, Dwight has received some press from the King James Classic held at the end of April 2006:

Chicago Hoops has Dwight ranked as the #35 overall player in the Illinois class of 2007 and as the #8 ranked PF in the State.

This 5.16.06 MidStates Hoops Recruiting Update claims Dwight has an offer from St. Louis.

Here’s a quote from a 7.15.06 Hoopmasters.com Article

This bouncy insider can step out and knock down 15-footer or finish around hoop with the flush. Illinois State, Southern Illinois, Illinois-Chicago, Loyola-Illinois, St. Bonaventure, Florida Atlantic, and Evansville were among schools at his game.

Here’s a quote from Phil Kasiecki of Hoopville.com

He got few touches on offense, but he can be a defensive presence as he has a good frame and blocked a few shots.
