I’ve seen him play most of three games and I have not been impressed. I’d be interested in hearing opinions and please enlighten me as to what I’m missing. Thanks in advance.Has David Roddy announced his transfer to Illinois yet?

The kid’s a bulldog on D
He’s an every day warrior type of guy…a BU type of guy
Good shooter
Finishes well at the rim
Actually have no clue. Hope he’s all those things and more if he transfers to Illini
There was plenty of room for a 20 ppg guy on that floor last night. Dog on defense as well.
I would say Roddy is a rich man’s Ron Harper Jr. Same body type, scores at all 3 levels and IMHO does everything just a little bit better than RHJ. In other words, I think he’s quite a player.
I’ve seen him projected as late first round on a lot of draft boards (higher than Kofi who I think the assumption is will be gone), so don’t know if he would really come back to school but if enters the portal I would take him in a heartbeat.
Seems like a Horton-Tucker type player to me. Good player but seems to me, it depends on style of play.
He draws a lot of attention. He’s a tough matchup straight up.
Lots of recent mock drafts with him going late in the first round.
I think this is a pipe dream for a number of reasons.
He is a guy who can post up a guard, get to the rim and he is a tenacious defender. He fits what a Underwood team looks like. Our team this year is not a Underwood prototype. He has had to change his style to fit the pieces he has. He wants a team more like the OSU team where multiple players can get to the rim with a facilitator to can feed to the open man. Kofi, great as he is makes it hard for us to drive because Kofi takes so much space and multiple defenders on him. Underwood likes a more mobile 5 who can get to the rim. Hawkins fits that mode which is why Hawk will most likely play the 5 next year.

My bad I thought they were 2022's.
Dillingham is one of the most impressive high schoolers I’ve ever seen. The only 2023 I’ve seen live that’s better than Boswell. I believe he used to be teammates with Epps. If there’s ANY shot at all you have to try to get him.Two 5-star pgs Marvel Allen and Robert Dillingham just decommitting from LSU and NC State.

If Kofi comes back, you still get Aimaq. Why? Watch Arizona..... Sometimes they play two 7 footers and 6'10" on the court at the same time. Sometimes kids are gassed and need great backups. Sometimes they get in foul trouble. You take 27 double doubles and find a way to use it.
This^^^ Kofi has been great for this program and I wouldn’t trade having him here but I think Underwood wants a team a little more like this and could see a couple of Hawkins type guys in our front court in the future. One could be a little less skilled than Hawkins, but a 6’8 or 6’9 thicker D and rebound type.
Only seen him once but what stood out to me was that he was routinely slow up and down the floor … and he took the concept of carrying the ball to a whole new level. Just my $.02

I don't know what else to take away from this other to be overly optimistic.
