On the bright side I'm not sure if the talent in New Rochelle, NY is as enticing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illini Zip Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) He looks to be a tall, long rim protector like Riak. #21 Listed at 7 ft. Stats indicate that he's not a big scorer and doesn't even shoot from beyond the arc...yet. And has too many turnovers. https://www.facebook.com/eyblce/videos/2192739704309129/ Game film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMtPxtQ2BuE Home Team (Africa) in white, #21, comes in off the bench.

clarkwgriswold Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 The good news is that Groce teams don't rely on post players much for offense. The kid is pretty nimble for his height but he needs some work. He might even be red shirt candidate to get him up to speed before throwing him into the fire.

He'll be 20 years old when MAC play begins this season. He's roughly 6' 10" and has international playing experience. We lost Riak and Sayles. X too. At worst I'd give him "Ali Ali Level" freshman minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
