Great for the locker room/depth

 

[rrlbees]

I like this. Love the kid and he is a team player that is also funny and a glue guy.

I guess so...what does he bring at this point?

 

[NineOneSeven]

...... AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Huh.

 

[Cusefan0307]

There’s 10.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

A large body for practice.

 

[kcsu]

Kid has talent dont be surprised when he gets some run

 

[Frozen]

He will have to fight Jimmy Boeheim for the number 2 jersey now.

 

[Orangefan1]

Don’t get me wrong as far as being a good teammate he sounds like he is, but I’m not sure how he is going to help us long term

I am less sure how he is going to hurt anything in the any-term

What is the disadvantage to having him back? And if he improves, so much the better.

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

a bit amusing that all four centers from last year's team appear to be returning. don't think anyone predicted that

 

[Conrad13]

Given the fact that he's a great kid, I think that this is a great thing, especially for this coming season. He's also bound to start the return wave of players in the transfer portal. Kadary and Quincy, you're up!

10 scholie players right now and 4 are centers. Although Ajak and Jesse could get work at the 4 during practice.

 

[Newhouser]

Good for practice and nothing lost for us, but he must have found no suitors which has to be humbling. Glad we offered a landing spot.

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

Happy to hear this, he seems like a great kid and teammate. I saw some things this past year and look forward to watching him develop, although I'm not sure he gets much PT next year. Great for depth, practice, and chemistry in any case.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

This isn't quite what I had in mind when I said I wanted another forward on scholarship, but I'll take it.

Now let's line up another scholarship guard.

Right. Would anyone be surprised if he ended up rounding into a contributor before his career is over? I could see him as a decent backup center.

 

[miamicuse]

Will his return change Frank's status?

I'm with you; maybe he makes a big leap but I'd be surprised. this is comparable to me to having a walk-on come back.

Wonder if this signals other things. Front court is kind of jammed. I was expecting JBJR and CS to get 5 burn too. I’d guess Frank’s either moving on or will see significant 4 minutes. He’s far more capable of playing the wing than Jesse or JBA. I’m not counting on BOO at all. At this point not sure you can

 

[Conrad13]

Will his return change Frank's status?

Based on the very small sample size that I have seen, I would guess no. Frank is the better player.
