Just entered the portal. If you were Pope would.you take a chance on this guy?
he will be a sophomore and can't walk and chew gum at the same time BUT maybe become a.player in 2 years as a junior/senior.

Get him cheap and develop him.

I'm not sure he'll sign with anyone if he thinks they're going to view him as a project. I think that's one of the reasons, perhaps the only one, he isn't returning to Fl. He feels he didn't get enough PT this past season.

You may be right, some of these guys egos are huge.

No way I would want him at UK. He would get pushed around like a leaf in the wind. He is just tall that is all.

He will probably go somewhere much smaller, a mid-major level program that can give him some minutes. He has physical limitations with his height. being that tall means a chromosomal abnormality somewhere and it's taxing on the body. He can only play so many minutes at a time as it is, especially at the high level pace of major college basketball.
