Class of 2025 PF Francis Folefac (MD) in portal from Siena

[Newhouser]

He's got a higher upside than Doty in my opinion.

I’d love to see him play SF/PF instead of PF/C but I don’t think they’ll do it. They won’t have the size at center

 

[hoopsupstate]

He’s never playing the 3 here

Don’t be too sure. He can defend at the three and with shooters in the backcourt he would be fine.

He may and that says more about Folefac because Doty has high upside as well.

 

[BronsonCuse]

I like Folefac! Another young player to build on. We need to follow the Iowa St type blueprint. Core group that you developed with additional talent added in the portal.

 

[Frozen]

Folefac is in town today & currently having lunch with GMAC at Drumlins…

Where are they having dinner?

What'd he order? Better yet, what did G-Mac order? I assume a biG-Mac.

Agreed. I’ve been thinking about Iowa State hiring TJ Otzelberger as a blueprint for Gmac. The Steve Prohm 2-22 debacle year was followed by Otzelberger turning them around in a few years to 22-13, then 19-14, then 29-8. He did it without a lot of blue chip recruits and top portal players at first. Now he has them humming. It may take a minute for Gmac but we need to see a steady improvement in the W-L record and clear demonstrable improvements in the offensive and defensive schemes.

Tell me which sides and what kind of soft drink he ordered or STOP POSTING!

 

[orangemass]

He ordered the thick burger

Even though that wasn't long ago it was early enough in the NIL era that I think the landscape will be less tolerant of that approach to program building.

I want him badly

He defended Kevair Kennedy in the MAAC final and he is a PG.
Did a damn good job by the way.

 

[McCuse]

6’7 245 is a lot of beef on that frame and this kid ain’t baby fat. 50 pounds heavier than Sadiq ha

Willis Reed

Baby gotz back

MAAC

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

MAAC

I didn’t watch the game, but didn’t he do very well against Duke?

 

[granthath9]

Yes. Second best player on the court for most of the game.

 

[RF2044]

I didn’t watch the game, but didn’t he do very well against Duke?

Yes. He wasn't guarding Duke's pointy heard though. People are talking in this thread about him being a small forward, when he's a 6'7 245 inside player. It's getting a little bit thick.

MAAC

MAAC PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Just beat out Doty, a mistake in my opinion

Says something that Folefac could handle defending a PG as good as him.

He is very movable on the court, at least on defense.

Lots of completely unsubstantiated leaps of logic there. Generally speaking, most post players can't guard on the perimeter.

Exceptions are rare, despite the hyperbole being thrown out, That he could defend pointy guards or play small forward in the ACC.

 

[Irt4su]

He’s got about a foot on me but we weigh about the same. I unfortunately don’t have any eligibility left tho

But can you defend point guards?
