I will go with Mitchell. If someone isn’t scoring or even starting most games at a JC, gives me doubts. If he was 6’5” or 6’6” and a shut down defender, than yes, but he’s about as tall as Mitchell.
And he signed.
I was joking!Kid from Macalester still around?
Been out there doing what I’ve been saying for years. If a kid lights you up and hits the portal. Go after him
Just take him, we need the bodies.
If he doesn't hurt the NIL budget, by all means. Right now we need a big wing, we need Christie back, we need a point guard and another big who can play defense- those are all going to cost substantial dollars.
And Pembrook Burrows III, another seven footer.
Just think if men’s CBB still had quarters. The bagmen would be busy.
Perfect fit with Mitchell. Defensive center with length- 2 more years.
No badger offer?
I bet he goes to Riverside. He’s from Cali
Seems like us and Illinois are the only bigger programs in contact, guess it depends on if he wants to be a reserve or a play a bigger role. He only averaged 13 minutes per game at Hawaii. He also tore his ACL in January. Hard to see him being ready to play many minutes in the B10 next year. He actually said he was considering a redshirt next year to strengthen his leg.
I never understood why Ben didn't target him when they both left Xavier the first time.
This one is bizarre.....so he's planning on redshirting this year to rehab a knee injury? Who is gonna take him? Think about it.....he comes to your school....collects NIL.....rehabs his knee with your facility/medical staff and then re-enters the portal for more NIL $$$ when he's actually ready to play. What a potential nightmare.
Yeah I don’t think that’s gonna happen with the caliber of player he is. I don’t even think he’d get any NIL deals until he’s healthy enough to play
He isn't likely to get much if anything in pay for play money if he isn't going to be able to play for a year.
Ngayene Daour, Senegal is where he is from. Went to Prolific Prep in California.
The situation smells of getting chased out of a scholarship because the team didn’t want to invest in rehabilitation. They might with a better player. Good example of the dark side of zero commitment environment. Some guy from the Twin Cities suburbs gets life changing cash while a kid from Riverside gets sent packing because of an injury.
I honestly can't think of 1 reason you would take a kid who is going to redshirt. You get nothing that year, and the way FA works, if that player is worth anything they are getting 100000 offers to leave, and if they are terrible then you keep wasting a spot. Literally a total lose lose.
