William Kyle Appreciation Thread

[Ghost]

I've said it since we got him - I felt like he could be our version of Okpara which is a pretty great player to have on your roster and was a huge factor in their run last year.

And he certainly outplayed him tonight - which I wasn't necessarily expecting. Definitely a fun player to watch!

This thread is reaching "generational fumble" status

This thread got me to sign up. OP, put some hot sauce on that crow

If we can build on this and win 12 or so ACC games he can be DPOY in the ACC.

Currently ninth in the nation in blocks.

I have no idea who remaining on the schedule have guys that can big boy him AND finish. I’d imagine it’s not many.

‘FREAK ATHLETE’: William Kyle III isn’t your typical center

William Kyle III’s blend of athleticism, knack for doing the little things and undersized stature make him unlike a typical center.

I just loves me some William Kyle! The dude just goes about his own business very workmanlike approach, does the most amazing things, and yet isn’t one of those guys who postures and prines

Just love his style

The way he just floats in the air is crazy, like when George dumped it off to him in transition with about 3:00 to go against St. Joe's tonight.

He's 6-7, but he can jump like Stevie Thompson. Betsey is 6-8 and he's taller than Will. It's easy to see.

Now 7th in the country in blocks
Shooting (or should I say dunking?) at a 70% clip
8.2 rebounds per game, watch your Iggys!
Chuck in there 1.3 steals per game, 1.2 assists per game.

Free throw percentage (even though he worked it out yesterday)......

Say what you want about Red & his offense, but huge shout out to William Kyle giving us an improbable chance at the end. Those plays were unreal.

Any semblance of an offense & we are a tournament team. Sucks, & no fun to watch.

Much respect changing the thread title. Came up short with an L, but WK3 left it all out there.

He and Kingz always do imho

 

[orangepassion]

Who'd have thought Kyle would be our best free throw shooter?

 

[LAorange44]

Stud. Is he playing a 5th year?

Thread title should be Will the Thrill.
Just my humble opinion.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Hard to believe he didn’t get more PT last year. His block on his second jump late in the game was an incredibly athletic play. Very under appreciated at the Dome.

 

[Cuseloyal]

He is our best player. Should be playing 35 minutes a game unless in foul trouble

 

[grepal]

He has been very easy to root for. I will live with the ft percentage if I had 5 with his fire.

 

[orangepassion]

He is definitely our most irreplaceable player. Without him, it's a close game against Mercyhurst, one of the worst teams I've ever seen.

 

[hoopsupstate]

I’m shocked how poor Kingz has been defensively the last two games. He’s constantly getting beat off the dribble. Their lefty guard chewed him up last night.

Agreed.

I've stated numerous times that he is our MIP. But I think his consistency and motor have catapulted him into being our MVP, as well.

And this is for a guy who we don't even have to run offensive plays to get the ball.

Stud. I wish everyone on the team played half as hard as Kyle does.
