Rutgers C Emmanuel Ogbole Puts in Intense Paint Work in Lagos! Monster Year Ahead In New Jersey

Kind of weird, this is the same video that was circulated when we first recruited him. Maybe theyre just pointing out they worked with him and showing love.
 
Dylan was talking up the Big E big time this AM!! If Big E improved his hoops game half as much as he has improved his body…watch out!
This Harper comment stuff can't be true. 😂

Message Board experts all over NJ saw him play 90 minutes last year after missing all summer and pre-season camp and labeled him a bust that can't improve.

Ogbole was at a 5 ppg 5 rpg pace last season if he had played 20 mpg. Very modest improvement and he’s at 7 ppg and 7 rpg at 20 mpg on a team that will need his rebounding and defense more than his scoring anyhow. Seems promising considering Martini and Sommerville contribute more offensive minded games.

81 total minutes
20 Reb, 14 offensive
17 FT attempts, 7 2FTs, 3 1FT, either and1 or 1n1
10 PFs drawn on shot attempts

There were a lot of positives in the limited minutes he played last year that there is something to work with there with a full off-season healthy.

I mean, because public comments from teammates and coaches are objective and honest assessments?

Remind me of how great a shooter HC Pike said Chol was.

Exhibit A. No clue.

How about nearly everyone who has seen him in the off season and looked at his development.

Okay......never said he hasn't developed.

Interesting that pointing out that teammates can be just as unreliable as the "message board experts" makes one clueless.

I was simply pointing out that coaches and teammates have done the exact same thing as "message board experts" - made proclamations about the development of a player that ended up not accurate.

To further my point, HC Pike talked about all the offseason development of Simpson as well.

Is your position that only "message board experts" are wrong?
Because that's clearly not the case.

FYI - here's HC Pike talking about how much improved Hyatt, Chol and Simpson are. How terrific Gavin is as a shooter.
Does this mean HC Pike also has "no clue"?
