High-energy Longwood forward with real rebounding and defensive bite
Kirk Staine is a 6-foot-6 forward from Baldwin, N.Y., whose high-school profile at Longwood highlighted an all-around edge: 8.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in his senior season, plus captaincy on a championship team. He was described by Longwood as an athletic forward who plays with high energy and relentless effort, which is the kind of glue-guy trait coaches love when they need toughness, rebound rate and defensive presence more than flash. If your team wants a physical, active frontcourt piece with competitiveness and motor, Staine is the type worth caring about.
