I wouldn't say he was a sieve, but the 3-4 games I watched, he does tend to get lost fairly often and sometimes overhelps, hunts blocks

Analytics wise though he actually looks similar to guys like Ejiofor or J'Wan Roberts who are considered to be excellent defenders

I just hope he can stay in that middle and block whatever he can block.

On defense that looks rough. But on offense, I think you could really do alot of different things. You could play 4 out, 1 in, with Rodgers on the inside. There aren’t any teams in college much less in most of the NBA that have two 7 footers that both can shoot 3s. I think it’s gonna be lot of spread and firing, with Rodgers there to chase down the misses.

You’re still missing another guard that can handle the ball though. That’s lot of responsibility on Kylan. Still don’t really trust Rodgers to do it.

Welcome Big Z along with Big T. It will be interesting to see how BU uses them. Wonder if he will be a Painter type and only play one at a time, or both on the court together. They will definitely cause some teams trouble. I am looking forward to see the two new freshmen. We will need them for the 25-26 season.

I’m going to have to get behind the concept of AJ Storr in our uniform, aren’t I? Luckily, they have an ointment for that…

Great news on Tomi and Big Z. Raises our floor significantly.

Insiders- Any chance we can get in the sweepstakes for USC's Yates? I'd take that kid 100 times/100 over Dix. Averaged the same numbers as Dix and is 2 years younger...

Cool, height and some finesse is good. Now we need toughness, dawgs, and endurance.

Good start on what we have so far, but need a couple athletic players like that are playing today in the Florida and Auburn game. This is the level we will have to compete against if we are to get back to the Final Four. These teams are really athletic and can play defense. We are not there yet with what we have signed. And where is our defensive coach?

His leaving the program led to Sencire's meal ticket changing programs again. It's not a great place to be in for Harris.

I think there are plenty of other low high majors that would take Harris.

I don't think he will find 28 mpg anywhere, but I think he has a place in HM D1
