Been in contact with us apparently. Chicago resident (Thorpe connection). Have a pretty good shot to get him maybe I would say. Former 4 star recruit. Averaged 3 points 2 rebounds last season.

Kevin Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 He's been horrible at ISU. Low rebound totals, low 3%, low FT% Could a change of scenery + lower comp level help? I'm not sure, but his numbers OOC against similar level schools are just as bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Can’t blame a kid for wanting a bigger role but you gotta earn it. Hope his quotes don’t make him sound selfish. Aside from that he’s got a lot of interest from MAC schools. Oregon St is the only power conference team...and they suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikescherrer8 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 His stats are pretty awful through 2 years. You never know, but I’m hesitant on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 In his defense he played 10 minutes a game last season. Tough to jump on him. As he said he’s looking for a chance to show what he’s got. Someone who is hungry could be a boost to this team. Could bring a fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UB92 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 He may have been a 4-star prospect out of HS and now is well below that based on his first two years, but he's got a five star name! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball State and Toledo could give him day 1 starters minutes. It's interesting to see the lower schools interested but i think thats right for his performance level. UB is the best by far, but I couldn't see him getting any more than Grant minutes. For reference, he was ineffective even against NIU last year.

I think he ends up somewhere that'll give him more minutes but everything so far reeks of a severely underperforming p5 player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikescherrer8 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Always a spectacle every time there a list trim. He’s not a good player. Very Gabe Grant like. Hard pass and a waste of a scholarship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee4three Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Former 4 star recruit and we want no part of him......how far we have come, we would be over the moon just a handful of years ago just to be listed I do have worries about his stats, and the reasoning behind transferring but who knows what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrabukes Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 If UB had gotten him in high school, everybody on here would've been drooling; 4 star guy, ranked top 100 by 247sports and Rivals. Now 2 years later he's "not a good player" and "been horrible", when no one here has ever actually broken down film of him, talked with him, or knows anything about him other than his stats from the past 2 seasons. Right, wrong or indifferent, I'd put my faith more into the coaching staff than others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, wrong or indifferent, I'd put my faith more into the coaching staff than others. I was watching some of his video from his college and high school days, he does not look that bad. He is very much like Gabe but is a lot more athletic. If he chooses UB I personally believe he’d do well enough. We still need to pick up a guard that can shoot the ball well though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure exactly what you mean by that but I was more trying to say that Zions size is comparable to Gabe but uses his size and athleticism more than Gabe. In no way am i trying to paint Gabe as a bad player, just believe he didn’t make the right plays all the time.
