Posted this to the UAA board – guess it belongs here. Chicago announced two incoming freshmen. Announcement is at http://athletics.uchicago.edu/news/mbk-incoming-0519.htm

I did some digging and found Watson listed as a 6-8 center.

Chicago — University of Chicago Head Men’s Basketball Coach Mike McGrath announced today the team’s incoming freshmen for the 2005-06 campaign.

Adam Machones (Duluth, Minn./ Marshall) was a three-time all-state honorable mention selection at Marshall High School, which posted a 20-8 record this past season. The 6’5″ Machones averaged 21.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game en route to garnering All-Lake Superior Conference first-team recognition for the third consecutive year.

Tom Watson (Edina, Minn./ Edina) averaged 11.6 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 1.4 blocked shots per game as a senior at Edina High School, where he was a three-time letterwinner and two-time all-conference selection. He led Edina in blocked shots three straight years and was the team’s leading rebounds the past two campaigns.

Thanks. These local papers just assume you know where the school is and don’t specify.
