Looks like a relatively new 2019 offer with two years eligibility - very athletic, raw, 6'11" lefty. Anyone know anything here. Also a 6'4" guard named Nadolny.

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

Would go well with football recruit Ugwuh.

I think the offer was made some time ago -- a left handed shot blocker averaging 12 and 9 in JC.

I like his size and physicality, but as a lefty, I never saw him go up with his right hand or show any moves using his right hand. Coaches in the B1G will figure him out right away. He would need a lot of work to make himself a more complete player. But he does move well and he shoots well (with his left hand) from within 5 feet of the basket.

I’d be surprised. Raw and two years don’t scream yes to me.

At this late stage in the recruiting season a 2 year player is just what we need as there are not many bigs still available for 2019. We need a 4 or a 5 that can give us some minutes and doesn't have to be a starter. Bench players are very important especially at the 5 where Myles seems to often gets into foul trouble.

The team needs to replace Shaq's 18.3 minutes per game as well as his defense. Doorson has not been a big scorer so Ugboh can help fill that void. He would need to give us about 12-15 minutes per game.

Pretty amazing how little you can tell from these highlight clips, esp w bigs.

 

[coachkos]

i like how he is physical and takes it to the hoop Sign him up

The biggest need for next season isn't a back up center but rather a shooter at the small forward position.Games are won with positive outcomes at the foul line and with the 3 point shot.

 

[RAA-1]

You are correct about the need for a shooter but I don't think we are getting one on board until 2020 unless we get a foreign player.

If we get another player on the team to transfer we can take a shooter in 2019, if one does becomes available, and we can also take a 5..

I’d be surprised. Raw and two years don’t scream yes to me.

Agreed. Raw and JUCO don't go together. JUCO scholarships need to go to guys who can have an immediate impact.

Candito Sa ll

But if he dunks vs. soft layup a plus (yeah that Wisky game non-dunk still hurts)

 

[DirtyRU]

Want.

Absolutely. Freeman/Carter types.

Not Sa, or Ugboh types.

Sa came here because Rutgers needed to fill the roster at a desperate time.
