There was.  Maybe his name was Carlin?  I think Marillac knows some info about him.

edit: Daniel Carlin. 6'8".  Not sure what his status is now (whether he wants to come to the states or not), but not committed anywhere now. http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/basketball/daniel-carlin-top-of-mike-dunlaps-wish-list/story-e6frect3-1225756213855
