I think if we shake our fist at the NCAA and threaten to go to court, we could

Ehh. This one seems pretty cut and dry. He’s played 30 plus games every year.
So funny announcers say over and over why his form wasn't fixed years ago. Kyle played track and field his Freshman year of high school then switched to hoops. Last year he was on the line maybe 1-2 times a game. Before that not like he was getting elite coaching at South Dakota St, not like he is now either.

Obviously his FT's shooing form is atrocious but he appears to be shooting them "softer" now - of course, towards the end of the game when it got close he just chucked up rocks - maybe he's progressing though - I want to see him look to score more - he is actually skilled with good footwork close to the basket

you sure bout that?
its gonna be very hard for this team to win any game kyle gets in foul trouble
he was abused today vs clemson
they had 46 pts in the paint vs only 24 for the cuse
that was with donnie btw
2nd and 3rd center arent luxury players...they are vital to any good team
you would think in year 3 red would know to put a roster together
He certainly was not Jeremy McNeill at the back of the zone today. Clemson had no fear.

Eh Kyle held his own. Couple of jailbreak fast breaks he missed but the pressing guys are doing nothing

Yeah, I felt like being more aggressive on offense wasn't a great move. Not sure if that him, or we decided to push for more turnarounds. That being said, it's just as effective as most things we do. lol
On defense, I wonder how much it impacted him early that those fouls were sorta nonsense. Dude would lower the shoulder twice to clear out space, and then Kyle would get called for a foul. I didn't care much for the fouls they called on him - at least the ones I recall.
This is why players flop......overall he was fine though imo.

I thought that Soare had some nice moments when he was out there.

I think Sadiq White had a very poor game. I think that was a big problem. Donnie didn't really get going (or get as many minutes) until the 2nd half.

I love Kyle but he made a lot of mistakes down the stretch tonight. He somehow let a player who is a foot shorter than him make a critical three over him. He allowed two layups as the free safety in the full court press in the final couple minutes. And he made a horrible turnover when we had the ball down 2 at the very end. Again, I still love him.

and had a few nice plays...but overall a huge negative

I'm happy for him, but these type of puff pieces while the program is in shambles? Read the room.
It’s a good article. This is about a player who had a great year and will get a shot at next level, we want that. Important to keep some positivity with what’s going on. Things can be mutually exclusive.

He was a fun player to have on our team.
Too bad he didn't quite notch double digits in scoring.
Also too bad that we wasted his lone year here with such a subpar overall season.

If we are lucky enough to get BH, Kyle would have been a great piece.

Glad he got another opportunity.
Crazy that UCLA had the currently ranked #2 (Williams), #5 (Kyle) and #7 (Mara) shot blockers in the country on the same team last year.
That UCLA year wasn’t a total waste, grew a heck of a lot mentally, and developed more grit and toughness. Two years at Syracuse would have been great though if he originally chose them out the portal. Probably would have got more development (I know, even under Autry, LOL).
