This kid has some skills for a big man. Definitely needs to add some muscle though. Could be some spirited battles in practice between him, Michael Day, Sekou, Yacine and Ben. Possible redshirt candidate but could develop into a force after some time in the weight room. The YouTube video Ace78 shared is 19 months old but shows his skill set.
Very personable in the Facebook interview.
Great job by the coaching staff searching high and low for talent.
Welcome aboard.

Irrespective of his ability, this is still the best source of talent for mid-major programs.

One thing I noticed, he didn’t miss any 2 ft shots.

Pretty easy to get excited about a 6’10 guy that shoots 38% or better from 3 and can block shots. Time will tell how the level of competition he was putting up those numbers against compares to MVC competition, but I’m optimistic that he would at least nicely slide into Preston’s role off the bench from last season. He could potentially take Sekous starting spot at the 5 if his can defend and rebound at the level the coaches want.

In the YouTube video at the 1:50 mark he shows off his Larry Bird passing skills. Ace78 will appreciate it.

What’s more important is that we are filling the roster with players who can substitute for relief without losing much. It doesn’t matter who’s starting if we can keep running in fresh players.
I’ve not seen a minute of any of our new recruits except for video highlights. However, it looks to me like we made some good trades for those who have left. Even our walkons seem to be an upgrade for the RSs and other bench warmers.

6’10” player who can shoot the 3, post up and score with either hand, run the floor, and push the ball in transition as the ball handler…..great job coaches!! He’s obviously received good coaching and develop work thru the Australian national team program and playing in the NBA basketball academy.

It looks like he had a 'coveted' late growth spurt. Tall, with guard skills.

Great pick up. When was the last time we have had so much size?

He has redshirt written all over him and could be our next Matus Malovec. He does add height to the practices so I see him as a tall plus in the short term.
