Sirlester Martin brought old-school frontcourt production for Youngstown State
Sirlester Martin was a physical 6'7" senior forward for Youngstown State in the 2009-10 season, and his game showed up in the gritty stuff: rebounding, interior scoring, and steady two-way presence. He posted 220 rebounds in the 2008-09 season and 153 in 2009-10, and he delivered multiple double-doubles plus a career-high 23 points in a 2010 loss at No. 22 Butler. The fit appeal is clear: Martin looked like a dependable, hard-nosed glue guy who could battle inside, finish around the rim, and give a team toughness without needing the offense built around him.
