I’m rooting for Daniel. Based on watching his video, i think he can contribute. Has anyone watched him played at all this summer?
I just think the jump from HS to this level is steep. I guess it depends on what contribute means...??
Harper went 2 for his 1st 23 from 3, Mathis 3 of 20, Caleb looked like a deer in headlights until maybe the 10th game or so, before it started getting better and those are the better and more higher regarded players.
If that means Lobach finds minutes and grabs a few rebounds, then sure.....but I wouldn't expect more until we see practice in late September or October, hard to tell.
Or maybe he plays in each game on the Spain trip and opens some eyes while the staff experiments and mixes, matches etc. It would not surprise me to see him redshirt, RU has now established a strength and conditioning program and work with bigs that can make Lobach a contributor in a year. Maybe we give him a chance after Carter departs and the incoming recruits arrive in 2020.
