Beggars can't be.... oh nevermind.Hard pass. This kid makes Eric Cobb look like Wilt Chamberlain
72% from the line. Solid rebounder. Foul prone. He can give you 10-15 decent minutes in the frontcourt. Can't hurt to take him.Foul machine, but 2nd best rebounder on St Johns last year. Okay shooting numbers in a limited role. Awful from the foul line.
Yup. Get him.72% from the line. Solid rebounder. Foul prone. He can give you 10-15 decent minutes in the frontcourt. Can't hurt to take him.

Is the option Wilt Chamberlain? If so, that makes sense.
Otherwise, however, if the choice is between (i) am empty seat on the bench and scholarship unused, versus (ii) the 12th or 13th schollies, rather than being unused, be taken by a D-1 basketball player, even if he's not good, who goes away after one year and never takes up a scholarship that would have any other purpose, WHO CARES? Both last year and 14-15, we played games where we didn't have enough scholarship players to give us 40 minutes. I understand not wanting the Trice's and Mandelbaums, but as long as you are talking grad transfers there is literally no downside if you're not pushing anyone out to get him in.
How can you pass on a 1 yr big who has experience in a good conference when we're so desperate for some size? Seems like a great fit. Let him rebound and defend. That's all that is needed from him.Hard pass. This kid makes Eric Cobb look like Wilt Chamberlain
What makes you think he would be 12th or 13th on the roster?It's astonishing how many people are at the same time a) ripping KO for only leaving 11 guys on the bench this year and screwing the team over by not having the depth our injuries demanded we have and b) acting like contacting this guy to come in as a #12/13 guy on a roster makes us CCSU all of a sudden. Listen, we get it, you're as pissed about a 16-17 record as all of us are, but at least be consistent in your criticisms. Can't have it both ways.
The fact that we are now after guys like this makes me very skeptical of the the whole, "KO is cleaning house" narrative.
Its hard to believe that he would run off Enoch and Durham for guys like this.

You forgot the guys who were saying we should leave 2 open scollies for 18 talent before the exodus.
You're slipping Stair!
Everyone wants KO to succeed and for UConn to be great. Grow up, Stainmaster.1) We're reaching out to multiple better grad transfer bigs with better numbers than his. It's not as if we're desperate enough to put all of our eggs in this basket.
2) I think the options we have currently look better than he does (says more about him than it does about them, but still).
I know you guys are secretly hoping he does end up playing a bigger role than 12th or 13th man, because then you can say "See? I told you so! KO can't put together a team, time to cut the cord!"
