I mean considering Sommerville’s freshman status three-star recruiting grade, he’s been an unquestioned success in my opinion.
Look at the freshman-year production of centers ranked outside the top 100 at power programs in the last half decade, Sommerville is among the best. It’s hard to say what his capabilities are at this level.
Success compared to what ? Is there a less athletic or skilled starting 4 or 5 in the conference ?
Athleticism doesn’t change. Slow freshmen who play below the rim don’t transform. He has starter 5 talent at an LIU type program but not a Big10 or any high major programs.
So since he didn’t come here to be a backup, save the NIL and wish him luck.
