With all the recruitment of big men lately it got me thinking of Joe Kleine of Slater. He seemed like a perfect Nirm guy, local kid, hard nosed. Would have been a great fit with Stipo. Stipo was a pretty good face-up player away from the basket and Kleine would have been a great compliment on the blocks. I know he originally went to Notre Dame and then transferred to Arkansas. Did he not like Norm or Mizzou, or did he not want to compete with Stipo?
