ah woops...After I posted my comment, he fixed the numbers.

have you been following the team lately?It is funny that we still worry about players taking up 3 years of scholarship when we can't seem to get anyone to stay more than two years.
If we get Hima and he does well, he'll probably transfer next year to a non power 5 conference in search of starter's minutes. If he doesn't do well, he can just take over the 13th man job from Billy Jr. or JBA
Yup. This kid is fine as our back up. But the staff is missing the ball. It would be ideal if we could get an athletic 4, that can slide to the 5 if needed and can also score the ball. Doesn’t have to be the best scorer or the best defender. Just get us someone that can score 12-14 ppg, can slide to the 5 in a pinch and is athletic enough to rebound and get up and down the court in transition to attack the basketball. Doesn’t have to be a stud but can do those things I listed and we’ll be fine. But I agree with you, I don’t think the staff is going to pursue another wing in the portal which is a huge missed opportunity
I hope Jim got him a full pie!He's visiting Seton hall
In a article he has visits with Seton Hall and Santa Clara. He had a decent offer sheet of out HS. Like his upside and that he took over starter role at end of last year. Bigs can take a few years.where are ppl seeing that Hima is visiting SH?
And what if he isn’t?If Carey is as good as people think he is, then what's the difference between him and this kid? Playing 21 games on a bad team? OK. Is he more talented? If he's not, then why not play the kid you have coming in? And if Griff is such a big-man guru, why can't he get Carey up to speed with everything as he will with this guy?
Again, whose place did he take? If he didn't prevent a contributing player from being on the roster then, even by your definition, it's not a waste.Well, since it is my opinion after all, I contend that Owens was a waste of a scholarship as he was basically a walk on. I would much rather Hima have a scholarship as there appears to be more of a chance that he’ll see the court than Owens.
Jim said in his interview it was virtually impossible to find a center willing to sit.Again, whose place did he take? If he didn't prevent a contributing player from being on the roster then, even by your definition, it's not a waste.
It’s really unfortunate that Frank had to transfer. He would have been the key backup center and the starter the year after next. I wish kids had more patience. It’s gonna take him time to learn a new system, so there will be growing pains at Georgia in his first year.No, he is not a viable big man. He was getting spot minutes at Duquesne - 6-24 in A-10 - last year. You're saying he's going to take a MASSIVE step up in competition and get the same spot minutes at SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY? What on earth are people seeing?
Do people realize that Power 5 schools across the country are in the same spot as Syracuse? Looking to fill out their roster with individuals they believe will play roles within their team?
Here are a few examples from last year:
Yor Anei - Transfer from Oklahoma State to SMU to DePaul. Was starter for 2 years at Oklahoma State. Came off the bench at the other two. 6-11 C.
Oumar Ballo - Transfer from Gonzaga to Arizona. Didn't play much at Gonzaga. Played more as a sophomore at Arizona, but was still a bench player. Has not started a game in career. This kid had comparable numbers to Duquesne center at a much higher level. 7-0 C.
Joey Brunk - Transfer from Indiana to Ohio State. Averaged 7.6 mpg after starting 31 games at Indiana. Agreed to go to a Power 5 team and play a backup role. 6-11 C.
Ralph Gonzales-Agee - Transfer from San Jose State - Averaged 26 mpg at San Jose State. 11.1 ppg. Transferred to Rutgers and played 17 games in a backup role and averaged 7 mpg.
These are 4 examples at the position of need. If I had more time I'm sure I could get plenty more.
He visits seton hall this week.
Ugh, if we’re doin this again next spring, I’m gonna lose it. I wish someone would get JB on the radio and grill him about this decision not to find an experienced forward out of the portal. What’s the GD rationale? All JB offers are lame excuses year after year now.Unfortunately it isnt the staff..it’s just one person. I know Griff has practically begged to go get a 4
Again, this is my opinion. Why you seem hell bent on arguing is beyond me. I’ll engage one last time. He was on scholarship and his contributions were minuscule at best. I consider that a waste. You apparently define a wasted scholarship differently which is fine. We can have different opinions. I think not having Owens on scholarship this upcoming season and having Hima on scholarship is an improvement. You may not. I don’t really care.Again, whose place did he take? If he didn't prevent a contributing player from being on the roster then, even by your definition, it's not a waste.
i think if this is en vogue way that recruits are looking at opportunities...Jim said in his interview it was virtually impossible to find a center willing to sit.
Seriously?
I actually like this guy as a backup better than the dude from Fl St.
If Carey is as good as people think he is, then what's the difference between him and this kid?
Well the difference is one has a scholarship and is on the team already while the other doesn’t. There are two open scholarships right now, everyone bitched last year about how Syracuse didn’t use all of the scholarships last year and what a terrible idea it was, now they are trying to use them and the response? “WeLl WhY BOtHeR”If Carey is as good as people think he is, then what's the difference between him and this kid? Playing 21 games on a bad team? OK. Is he more talented? If he's not, then why not play the kid you have coming in? And if Griff is such a big-man guru, why can't he get Carey up to speed with everything as he will with this guy?
Seton Hall could be a bottom dweller for a couple of seasons with a new coach.fwiw as far as I can tell, after Obiagu announced he's going pro Seton Hall currently has no centers on their roster, and none coming in as frosh - If they're legit interested in Hima and offer him seems like that would be a better destination for him for potential playing time than us
