i was worried we were a day late and a dollar short.

We may have a been a day late, but not a dollar short.
I posted before Freeman committed that I prefer this guy. No glaring question marks. Defensive POY means something. He won't get pushed around. He has a growing offensive game that will continue to grow under AO. I am happy with our C position and if Mali guy gives us anything there, will be very happy. The question of how good we can be is our Starting PG and how good our Euro guy will be.

So glad to have this type of player back in the fold. Eddie was close, but this is just right!

Sounds like the athleticism gap between this dude and Eddie is “thick” as some on here would say.

 

[RF2044]

I'm a big fan of this addition and I'm glad that G-Mac and staff were able to move quickly after losing Freeman to Auburn. But this is certainly a take... we weren't focused on Estrella because he was a name we knew. He was one of the top centers in the portal, and was paid as such.

Hopefully Wilson makes a strong impact for us and can make the jump to P5 basketball smoothly. Especially since the other big men we currently have bring more questions than answers. If Wilson has the same impact that someone like Estrella will have next year, then G-Mac found a diamond in the rough. Give me Folefac and another PG and we can call it an offseason.

It isn't a take -- at all.

We got a productive player for a fraction of the cost as Estrella. He's probably better than Estrella defensively. Good evaluation from our staff. We only have so much to spend.

What is an "HM starter."

Holy Mackarel!

Holy Mackarel!

This feels right.

I like his big body. He’s not going to be pushed around. We need at least one player like that.

He's kind of a Folefac replacement. A bit undersized, but certainly thick. Folefac showed better footwork in the post on offense. We need bodies, but I'm not even sure this guy is the starter.

 

[CbusCuse]

He doesn't look like Owen's brother...

You would be wrong in your assessment that he’s just a “body” and him not being the starter.

If he's the starter, that's not good enough. Sorry.
Devin Williams is a better player.
Luke Wilson should be the back-up PF.

 

[AncientOwl]

Why do we have to know in April who the starter is? We have 3 guys now who can play at center. Someone will play above expectations, someone will play below expectations, and the third will either deal with an injury or a lack of minutes.

My only concern for this pickup is that this another player who is more valuable on the defensive end. By my count, we have 3-4 offensive players on this team and they all play the same position (SG). Where is the rest of the offense going to come from?

Okay Matt. You’re the first person to think this is “not good enough”

You are way off here Matt.

9 deep [so far].

Tobiason said in the Waters podcast that he will play some 1.

Mike Waters just tweeted that Luke has officially committed to Syracuse!

Wilson and Tobiason are excellent commits. I’m excited about the possibilities.

 

[kidorange]

Exciting add. Don't think that giant wingspan someone said is correct. His arms look pretty proportional, not freak long or anything.

Larry Linville (sp)

Undersized? He's 255 and has a 7 foot 6 inch wingspan. Sometimes I really don't understand the hills you try to die on...

i like this kid too. but i see him as more a 4 as i see wilson more a 5. and we needed beef at the 5.

 

[JustPherU]

What i love is that most if not all of the guys on the roster as of this writing have multiple years of eligibility left... I LOVE that...

Yeah but you have to recruit them back every year.
