Just a WAG since he visited back in December? They usually go to see multiple guys though, I believe.

Our style has evolved based on personnel. And while it does appear that BU likes the current style more, perhaps he shouldn't be too wedded to it. In Kofi's sophomore year our ORtg on Kenpom was 118, good for 8th in the country. It did drop a bit after Ayo left.

As a selfish fan, I think Kofi was incredibly fun to watch and would love to see something like that again at some point. Could you just imagine if Kofi were on this team? The KJ-Kofi connection would be incredible. We've already seen a glimpse of that with KJ-Morez (they do play really well together) but Kofi had much better hands and was a much stronger finisher.

He was also pretty good with a soccer ball pre-game ⚽

The defensive limitations of a player like this is just not worth it nowadays. We are beyond the Omar Ballo’s of the world. Our guards and our stretch 5’s and 4’s, puts other teams opposing centers in a bind!

The potential is there, but he is missing blocks on cuts and rim runs, not even attempting to block the shot, because he’s too slow.

That will kill you at this level.

Love the idea, but hard pass. 💯

With the kind of depth our teams have had recently, could you imagine having a quality #2 center with a completely different skillset? You beat the hell out of them inside for awhile with someone like Kofi, then you switch it up and have a rim-protecting center that can drain 3's like Ivisic. It could make game planning a nightmare for opposing coaches.

Isn’t that what Morez is giving you now, which makes him (and this team in the post) so darn effective?
