Noel going to UK basically meant Oriakhi was not IMO. He played with Drummund last season and thats why he wanted out. He'd be in the same position at UK. Kid wants to play a lot of minutes and Mizzu needs bigs! makes sense to me.​

they will be when he hits the floor in Columbia next fall.

Their summer session starts on June 4th. Enroll for a class in the summer and he's at Mizzou before Mizzou is in the SEC.

This actually might be the case. He could be grandfathered into the conference, so to speak.

Agreed but no post season play and getting jerked around last year was the end for him.

Yeah it's gonna be more of a beef with Calhoun than anything else. He would have been the unquestioned leader of that team next year.
