SJSU after a Lithuanian big

The Lithuanian owns offers from from URI, San Jose State, Georgia, UAB, Charlotte, Rutgers, Old Dominion, interest from Pittsburgh, Auburn, Boston College and Indiana so there is at least a chance of landing him.

Rhode Island is having him in for a visit next weekend. Indiana signed one of his teammates.
