6-foot-9 Souza Signs with Tech

[Longdog]

College of Southern Idaho's 6-foot-9 Romario Souza has signed to play for the Bulldogs while visiting Tech yesterday.

An article by Mike Christensen in the Twin Falls Times-News said that "The Mailman delivered again" as he went with Coach Rupp to meet Souza's flight and that "after spending four hours at Malone's house on Saturday, Souza was hooked."

Souza, from Minas Gerais, Brazil, said that Malone "explained the program, how it can be good for me," that he will be able to play at the forward position and that he likes Ruston as it has the small-town feel of Twin Falls.

Welcome to Tech Souza!!

Well, he is an American (technically speaking).

I really like this signing! This kid has the look of a west coast forward--like we see at many of the PAC10 schools.

Major question - does he have a hot sister who can play volleyball?

The injuries make me raise an eyebrow, but maybe that could be to our advantage. Why some of the bigger boys stayed away? I like how they said he likes to shoot it. I have been wanting a forward or center to go out and shoot it.

That is an excellent question......maybe she can dance a little, does she like the number 12??

"He also made an official visit to TCU, which is in metropolitan Fort Worth, Texas — too big for Souza’s taste. He took an unofficial trip to Idaho State as well, but felt most comfortable with Louisiana Tech and Coach Rupp."
