I have not heard much about him since he redshirted. Will he come back next yr or transfer? How much talent does he have?

This is twice I’ve seen the word transfer associated with him, but nothing that would suggest any real possibility of it. He’s got handles, plenty, and moves the ball around well. Shot needs some work, and he flat out was not going to get minutes with Mitchell and Leemire ahead of him. I thought it was assumed from his signing day he’d redshirt. I expect to see a little more of him next year, and a lot the three years after that.

He won’t play much next year, but in two years we will need him. If he learns the system well this year and next he will help us. He’ll be way ahead of anyone else we could bring in if he’ll stick around.

i have played pick up ball with him before and have seen him in practice a time or two. he has absolutely SICK handles, awesome court vision, and has serious hops. he is only about 6’1 and can dunk with ease. not much of a shooter, but looks like he can penetrate pretty well and distribute the ball nicely. i cant wait to see him play next year

He was injured at the very beginning of the year so that might have had a little effect on him being redshirted. The main reason is we just don’t need him that bad this year I guess.
