This is all I could find on McLean from Tulsa's archives: 6-8, 230 lbs.
High School -- Was a two-year starter at Bethel High School . . . averaged 14.5 points, 15.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocked shots his senior season . . . was named to the all-region and all-Peninsula district teams as a senior . . . averaged 11.5 points 15.0 rebounds and 3,0 blocks his junior campaign . . . also played on the Boo Williams AAU team . . . received a three-star ratng by Rivals.com . . . high school coach was Craig Brehon.

In the only year I could find stats for him:
2005-2006 season: averaged 16.9 min game, 6 points game, led team with 35 blocks, 4.8 rebounds/gm.

At the fundraiser held at the Kenwood Country Club last summer, Miller was very high on McCLean.

He went out of his way to speak of how disappointed they were to not get him in the original recruitment. Tremendous upside.

These 6'8" guys are now pretty much a common thing for X. Go back 10 years and we felt fortunate to get the likes of T.Braggs who was the only guy who could rebound against UCLA in the opening round of the NCAA T-ment. Don't get me wrong I loved Braggs but it seems you have to be a prominent program to land these guys year in and year out.

We're going to have a crowd at the PF spot with Brown, McLean and Taylor.

Of course, that's also true at center (Love, Bronson, Frease), SF (Anderson, Raymond, Taylor, Walsh), SG (Raymond, Jackson, Graves, Walsh, Redford), and, to a lesser degree, PG (Lyons, Jackson, Redford).

Regardless of who's who, it's very obvious from the UCLA game this team is badly in need of more foot speed.
