Class of 2024 C Olivier Rioux (Canada / IMG) Portal from Florida

[swish7]

This is one of the most hilarious highlight videos out there.
When he was 12 at 6'10, he still played on a lower rim.
LOL at the kid guarding him in the post at the 0:15 mark.

His stare down game rivals that of mine when playing on a nerf hoop

Wait, what?

You had to be there.

All joking aside, I hope GMac has other plans. The Baylor team of a few years back is a good model to follow. Get killer athletes at every position & overwhelm the competition. We shouldn't break the bank on someone just bc they are tall.

6'10" at 12 years old, and he brings the ball up some. crazy!

I'm intrigued by having someone this enormous on the team.
Never watched him play really. Did he get any PT with Florida?

No

Any interest here?

There shouldn't be.

If you want a worse Naheem McLeod, then definitely.

HEY!!! That's a TALLER and worse Naheem McLeod.

 

[HeaterCuse22]

NO

I’d love to have this guy he’s 7 foot 9!

 

[JarHeadJim]

Let’s hope the second recruitment works for us!​

 

[CuseFan]

If he's willing to put some work in, he could be a good backup center for 10-15 min a game while he learns, and maybe someday have a significant role 2-3 years later. Can't teach 7'9". No idea if he can move or not, or if his size is just too unwieldy.

Wishful thinking in the world of NIL that there would be patience and time to learn, so not likely a reality.

He's probably not even a D1 talent. No shade-- I'm sure he works hard, but he's not an athlete

It's very safe to say, he's exactly the opposite! Start the countdown on when he also develops problems with his legs and feet.

 

[Sbucketball]

It was reported that this guy’s asking price is $3m. And he’s buns.

 

[jordville]

He is a fan favorite but just not a good player especially at this level. Needs to cash in while he can, NIL or otherwise…

Besides the fact that he probably would contribute as much as the original Cat Rescuer, the school might be able to have his NIL paid by Onondaga County to stand at the Onondaga Parkway Bridge.

IF YOUR TRUCK IS AS TALL AS OLIVIER RIOUX, YOU MUST TURNAROUND NOW!!!
