Intriguing.

Lotta options out there...

Yes, please.

 

[Trueblue25]

Would make too much sense, next please.

 

[Melancer46]

For reference, Sestina shot 45.6% on mid-range jumpers this year and 38% from 3 and 80.8% at the FT line and it's all on pretty large volume so it's not just a fluke. At least statistically, this guy is a talented floor-stretching big.

"He's only 6'9"

 

[syrBossHogg]

He might be a better fit for us than Smits

 

[SUFan44]

Kid is good. Would help immediately.

 

[Cuse_bball]

Really good player

 

[CA Monk]

Get his name to Wellman. Let the process begin.

Emporium, PA is located exactly in the middle of nowhere, close to the Eastern Continental Divide, 195 miles southwest of the Carrier Dome.

He looks a little like Eric Dungey.

Some background on him

What? No, Smits is a much better fit. Smits is a true center from a D1 school.

This guy is a forward from the low level Patriot league. SU has a lot of forwards better than him - OB/Eli/QG/Marek. SU needs a legitimate center - like Smits.

Some background on him

Seems like good guy and a good player. After a thoughtful deliberation, I vote yes.

 

[Day2]

Did JB have any interest in Trey Porter or James Banks last year? Just wondering if we missed out on those guys or didn’t even try. Hopefully lessons were learned in either case.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Seems like good guy and a good player. After a thoughtful deliberation, I vote yes.

Hard not to like the guy after watching that. Seems like a winner to me!

 

[Alsacs]

I really hope the staff is looking to add a front court grad transfer.
Watching this kid’s tape he is the type we need.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Get Tony DeFranco on the phone to give Jimmy another ring

 

[Cusesky8214]

Uconn board talking grad transfers and getting excited about possibilities...wouldnt it be considered a downgrade going from a powerhouse like bucknell to a mid major like uconn? Heck arent their leagues pretty similar? (sorry I had to get that dig in)

 

[Day2]

"He's only 6'9"

To be honest, he doesn’t appear to have much of a wingspan. I could see JB looking into Smits, but probably not Sestina.
