Here's a name we haven't previously heard. We don't know much about him yet. And as you'll see in the links below, he's either from Venezuela or Columbia. Regardless, we may see another flag hanging at the Jack Stephens Center next season.
Finally, 6-10, 225-pound senior Michael Javes nearly recorded a triple-double in ACD's 74-60 win over Central Park Christian (Birmingham, Ala.) last Friday with 18 points, 18 rebounds and nine blocked shots. A native of Columbia, Javes is committed to Arkansas-Little Rock.

Let's get the facts straight here: Javes is nearly 6-10 and from Venezuela. Outside of that we're going to need to learn more about him. He's a new name in the game and we're thinking mid-majors will eat him up for his size and raw materials. There's a player in that body, but there is an existing language barrier that will need to be addressed
And there's this from Rivals
Michael Javes, C, ACD- Programs are scrambling for bigs and he's going to get looks from every level of college basketball. A big kid who runs the floor, blocks shots and does the dirty work. He's a good, but not crazy, athlete and gives effort on both ends of the floor. While his offense is a bit raw, he does get to the free throw line and doesn't look bad from there.
