Robert Sacre has been Gonzaga's seven-foot project.

Sacre is currently averaging 13.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.9 blocked shots.

"He came in very raw (but) he's always been a freak athlete with size," teammate Steven Gray said.

"He's a plow horse that you can just count on," Few said. "As loyal a guy as you'll ever find.

"I mean, he's just going to work, and he's going to do it with a great attitude and a contagious enthusiasm."

Sacre, a reserve on the Canadian national basketball team last summer at the World Championships in Turkey, was born and raised in Louisiana. He moved to North Vancouver, British Columbia, after his parents split up when he was in grade school.
