Andres Gahlmann Qualifies
Andreas Gahlmann, a 6-9, 230 pound center from Fullerton J.C. in Fullerton, Calif., is a freshman qualifier who could leave the junior college ranks after one year.
A native of Switzerland, Gahlmann posted an 1140 SAT score, according to Fullerton Head Coach Dieter Horton. As long as Gahlmann maintains a 2.0 GPA and earns 24 transferable credit hours, he will be able to enroll at a Division I school next fall.

Gahlmann showed some positive things at this past weekend's 2001 Southern California Fall JUCO Shootout. While he is not quick or athletic, the left-handed Gahlmann has a big frame, very good hands and can step out to the perimeter and shoot it.
Unlike some European post players, Gahlmann is willing to mix it up in the paint and play a physical style, although he is not a great offensive rebounder at this juncture.
Horton told JUCO Junction/Rivalshoops.com that Northern Arizona and San Diego have expressed serious interest in Gahlmann. Exactly how high the 20-year old Swiss big man gets recruited will depend a lot on what kind of year he has at Fullerton.
