For sure, he was 12 overall. I don't want to take away from the development at all, Kofi and UI did a fantastic job. I just don't think he came out of nowhere.Where did he rank among centers? If it was lower than second, then coaching him into second team all American is beating the field.
He really has to be careful about having worse year somewhere else. Then his success here will be questioned. And there isn’t that much room for improvement.
0nly two other BIG teams offered (IU and Minny), no Duke, no Kansas.
Toss all the woulda, coulda, shoulas in the trash because we DID IT.
And yes, Kansas did offer him. But I get your point.
