Joel Embiid
School: The Rock (Gainesville, Fla.)
Height/Weight: 6-foot-11, 235 pounds
Position: Center
247Sports rank: No. 13 overall, No. 2 center
2012-13 highlights: Helped The Rock go 31-4 (including a win over Andrew Wiggins and Huntington Prep), win the Sunshine Independent Athletic Association tournament and earn No. 10 Academy Top 10 national ranking from MaxPreps.
What to expect in Lawrence: The Jayhawks need help down low and Embiid will be given every opportunity to fill that void. The Cameroon native wasn't a big scorer at The Rock and that probably won't change next year, but can still impact games defensively.
