Former Florida State center (7-foot-4) announces intraconference transfer decision

Both literally and figuratively HUGE

 

[RF2044]

Center is covered!

Now, we just need another guard and we are cooking with GAS!

 

[Fly Rodder]

I like this.

Can not wait to see that wing span in the middle of our zone...oh wait...in our defense scheme.

Yes, correction no need to cover the corner three

Red is Red-Hot!

Given hints from Jake sounds promising given whichever outcome we get around Judah

 

[JLine]

Gotta love what Red and the rest of the staff are doing. Really putting us in a position to be competitive. If we somehow get Judah back that would be amazing, but we will be okay regardless. They may not be done yet.

Thank the Good Lord!

3 ppg bench guy from a 9 win team. We’re popping champagne to this?

 

[M2MPrinciples]

He'll be great when we want to throw a zone look but I hope he can learn how to guard a ball screen.

He had a VERY good game against us (AND Jesse) this season.

Would you have wanted Jesse based on his #'s after his first 2 seasons here?

edited to add: Which, for Jesse, were-
F 2.4 & 1.7
S 1.9 & 2.6

Nah!! That guy sucks and always will!!

 

[OttosDad]

Guy can’t move his feet. Are we staying zone? What’s the deal here? Don’t like this pickup if we are playing man.

I take what I can get.

He had a very good game against a wretched defense. He was also one of the ACC centers Jesse had a great game against. As soon as we dropped the zone back further McLeod was shut down.

What does Jesse’s improvement have to do with Mcleods possible improvement? Absolutely nothing, players don’t automatically get better, I can make a pretty good list of guys who just don’t, probably as long as of a list of guys that do. It’s irrelevant what Jesse did in year two when it comes to McLeod.

You can not teach that size, he will at least be a defensive presence around the basket.

 

[obliterata]

Great pick up, you can't teach 7'4" or athleticism.

 

[Cuse181]

So there was no top 5, no top 3, and the commitment was today not Tuesday. Quite a saga

Don’t rain on our 7’4” parade
