Profiles: Andy Poling



Andy Poling


Class: RS-FR.
HT: 7-0
WT: 232
Hometown: Portland, OR (Westview)

Andy ended his senior season at Westview with a 2nd Team All-State and ranked as a top 20 center in the nation. Andy recently was diagnosed with Celiac disease, which means he has a severe allergy to wheat gluten. The disease is not life threatening as long as he watches what he eats. Poling has struggled with his weight due to the disease, but seems to be slowly adding weight since his diagnosis. He came in and redshirted last season to get some time in the weight room and to acclimate to the college environment. Poling has an old school game, and is capable of scoring down low with the bigs, you can expect to see him blossom by his junior season into a nice frontcourt player.
