Any shot at all on this rim protecting grad transfer? A shot blocker would be great, but even at Stony Brook, this guy averaged only 17 min, 3 pts, and 5 rebs per game, and he shot 46% FTs. I could be wrong, but is that all we want from the center position? I think the idea would be using him situationally. Having a defensive anchor like that would be a major asset, even if only playing 15-20 minutes a game. For offense, go with Tate at the 5 or even Young, who was very solid offensively this season. Plus, a guy as physically imposing as Otchere could be a beast of a roll man in the PnR.

He'll have a dozen Power 6 offers by noon.

I agree he’ll probably go higher, but the kid played less than 20 mins per game at Stony Brook and would come off the bench for any HM. The other big kid Gueye they have is better. He’ll probably wind up being a bench big for a bigger program but could start for us.

I get that he's a freshman compared to a senior but he will also have to sit out a year which isn't the case with the Stony Brook big.

I wouldnt hold my breathe on us getting involved. Too bad he definitely fits where we have a need (Burns spot). By the looks of it he never got it going at UMass & had a really rough sophomore start before walking away in December. He definitely has athleticism, looks good around the rim, can block shots & rebound. I think he’d be a very good MAAC player. Not much out there about him now which is kind of strange. Anyhow just saw his name in the portal and it rung a bell because I remember him visiting here....

They’ll have room for a big if they can find the right one.
