Rutgers forward Junior Etou transfers to Tulsa
Tulsa is thinking two steps ahead with the addition of Rutgers transfer Junior Etou.
Officially a Tulsa Golden hurricane?⚪️

The Hurricanes will lose four big men to graduation next year, and given Etou is a sophomore, he'll be forced to sit out the upcoming season due to NCAA transfer rules.
Come the 2016-17 season, he'll slide in as a day-one starter in a rotation that's losing Rashad Smith, Marquel Curtis, Brandon Swannegan and D'Andre Wright.
This past season, the 6-foot-7 forward started all 31 games for Rutgers, posting 7.4 points per game and 6.6 rebounds in 29.6 minutes.
A graduate of Bishop O'Connell High School in Virginia, Etou will join up-and-coming guards James Woodard and Shaquille Harrison, which should make Tulsa a force to be dealt with.
