Would be an interesting option imo. Wouldn't necessarily want to count on him but I think you could pencil him in as a 9th/10th guy with the potential to work his way into a Harmon type role.
I watched Santa Clara play a few times and was impressed. He is skilled, pretty fluid, and can put the ball on the floor pretty well for a 7 footer.
Tyler loved guys who could space the floor and average 3ppg
That dude isn't coming to be a third big.
what do you mean by "that's mostly BS"? It's BS for him to want those guarantees or it's BS of his camp / him to demand those?
Zvonimir seems like the ideal third big. His brother is here and he's been coming off the bench and getting sporadic minutes at Arkansas.
The best thing about Morez is that he just knows who he is, and there isn't a problem with that. A team guy that gives 110% at all times. He could easily average a double-double with more minutes just from being around the basket when a shot goes up.
Must not be a soccer fan. We go through this every transfer window.
I took it as this information/ rumors is bs by whoever is reporting it.? Edit: Fl8905 with the answer. Way better than my speculation.
I believe he is saying that it it BS that Morez is making those demands.
I do kind of question how he fits or if he’d be ok with only flirting with 25 mins a game.
If Illini are recruiting him as a 9/10th guy, I really doubt we see him in an Illinois uniform. Maybe the draw of playing at home is a big enough draw, but I’d guess he’s looking for at least rotation minutes similar to what DGL got over course of this season. And knowing DGL’s limitations, I’d take Cochran over him for those types of minutes.
I not sure how to respond to this post on the crootin thread Pru.....
Not that it matters but big Z won't make Morez very happy if he shows up.
Am I the only one that gets tired of KB trailing quicker guards down the lane? He's touted as being a great defender, but his failings expose our bigs to more fouls or easy buckets when they come to help on his man. He can't shoot 3's. Me thinks we need to pick up 2 stud guards in the portal.
I get what you’re saying, but a lot of that is our defensive scheme and not hedging the pick and roll (where this happens).
Jake is a low cost, low risk add as well, IMO.
Those are great things (whether it's BS or not). Underwood wants every guy on the floor to be a threat from 3-point range. He can still get a ton of rebounds and dunks. They are not mutually exclusive options.
I think it has been insinuated that it is the opposite. Rez would rather play the 4 and develop as something more than how he has been utilized to date. Big Z would spell Tomi. I still question:
