Good thing we didn't get him. Yuck. /s
I wasn't necessarily trying to say - "hey look at this guy we missed on - doing nothing" ... it was more of an "I thought he'd do much better given more PT" thought but take it for what it's worth.
Didn't he move up from 2020 to 2019?
Man it funny ayo went from a bust to a potential 1 round pick
Like, I like this post.Ha, that was around the mizzou game if I recall. I was facepalming through the majority of the Ayo posts. One guy even wnet as far as to suggest ayo isn't good enough to start on this team LOLOLOLOL
Even at the time of his like 3 game slump, his season averages were still at like 12 pts, 3 assists, 40+ from 3. It's laughable that ppl could label him a bust through like 12 games of his freshman year the way he's palyed on average SMH
Not to derail, but another question -- who was our last duo of true freshman who performed as well as Ayo & Giorgi?

i was just making an example of the increased size and athleticism. your example is probably the starters, but being able to roll out 5 players for stretches who are all 6”5+ and not playing out of position would be nice.I’d rather imagine a lineup of Ayo, Trent, Brown, Giorgi, and Kofi ...
Just need Roger, Deron and LutherDee and Augie.
Perhaps similar to the noise level of his verbal he gave?After Brown getting 8 CB's to NCState, that recruitment has gone quiet.
I don't know enough about Liberty - but Keene certainly is unfair - that turd currently coaching Auburn ruined Keene (and Deon Thomas') shot at great college careers.
My answers to the questions would be
1 - Jereme Richmond - one and done to where is he now?
2 - Pre-AAU: I'm definately going with my favorite player ever - Kevin Turner ... modern era - I think Giorgi B perfectly fits this criteria. Re: Mike Davis - I'm sure I'm probably wrong here considering how many people used Davis as their answer - but wasn't he playing in a small prep school in order to get his transcripts prepared to play college basketball - but we were his only high major offer?
I'm not sure what you mean. Deon Thomas had a great college career. It could have been better with more talent and more NCAA tourney wins, but he certainly had a great college career.
On the other hand, Keene was a McDonald's all american yet never even made HM All Big Ten. To me he seemed to never really improve after an excellent freshman campaign. Still a favorite player of mine because he hit some big shots and made some nifty passes. But it didn't live up to its potential
I decided to go over and check Okoro's stats since Bol Bol has been out awhile....not very impressive at all - 7 games:
111 minutes (16 MPG)
22 points (3.1 PPG)
25 rebounds (3.6)
5 Blocks (0.7)
8-15 from 2, no threes, and a HORRIFIC 6/15 FTs
1 assist and 3 steals (probably not expecting anything here anyways)
I'm surprised at his lack of production - I was thinking he would skyrocket when given the opportunity.

And we would have made the touney that year if JG had started playing them significant minutes about a month earlier than he did.If Ayo gets drafted this season, good for him. He committed here and that means to me (as a fan) that I am rooting for him.

Malcolm and Ken

No, he would have lead his team to the tournament had he had a "wildly successful" career.
It's interesting you say that... One week ago today I got a text from a very confident source in the building that Archie would be announced within the week. But apparently now with someone's impending visit, everything has changed...
Do tell, pretty please???
Clearly the implication is Brown.
