Not sure, @Hoosierfanyuh do you know?

Kinda got the sense from Stu he may be more of a culture add 10-13 guy on the roster, but maybe DDV thinks there's more upside to him and he was hampered by injuries this year? I like championship pedigree in the locker room. 

  • Totaled 516 points and 287 rebounds in two seasons at Chattanooga before transferring to Florida in 2024.
  • Earned All-Southern Conference and All-Defensive Team honors as a sophomore, averaging 10.8 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocked shots in 2023-24.
  • An outstanding rebounder and rim protector expected to continue expanding his game on the offensive end.
  • Native Floridian who starred at Apopka High School, earning first-team All-Metro Conference honors his senior season.

2023-24, Sophomore Season (Chattanooga)

  • Totaled 356 points (10.8 per game), 299 rebounds (9.1), 70 blocked shots (2.1) and 59 assists (1.8) in 33 appearances with 32 starts, shooting .550 from the field.
  • Earned third-team All-SoCon and SoCon All-Defensive Team honors.
  • Posted nine double-doubles and 20 games with double-figure scoring.
  • Grabbed double-digit rebounds 13 times, including four with 15+.
  • One of four players in the nation to average at least 10 points, nine rebounds and two blocks per game while shooting .550 or better from the floor.
  • Posted a huge 27-point, 15-rebound outing along with three blocked shots in a win vs. Tennessee Tech, shooting 9-for-13 from the floor.
  • Grabbed a season-high 17 rebounds including seven on the offensive end, adding 13 points in a win vs. Mercer. Also tallied 15 rebounds in double-doubles against Evansville (10 points) and VMI (14 points).
  • Had five blocked shots at UW-Milwaukee and at home vs. Covenant.

He didn't play a lot last year but there is a lot to be said about him coming from a championship winning team. Having that type of experience in the locker room is a good thing.

Yeah, minimally having championship pedigree in the locker room to build your culture in year 1 is a positive. 

Didn't do much to impress at UF but was third team All-SoCon and All-Defensive SoCon. So he can play a little. 

Not like it's a Dallas James pick up. Good to have depth in the front court.

Don't think he's mutually exclusive with a Baba Miller or Fedx2.

Oh, I definitely didn't think he was Dallas James 2.0. I've read he has some injuries last year. I don't how much those had an effect on his PT since I don't follow Florida. His Per 40 rebounding and defensive stats are decent, even at UF so he does bring some good defense, which is nice to see. Other than close to the basket, it doesn't look like someone you want shooting going by his stats.

Liking the way this roster is coming together. Coach is targeting offense, heart, and hustle. Love that. 
 

Seems like we have 4 starters for sure in Bailey, Devries, Wilkerson, and Conerway. I’m thinking Bailey is our starting 5, but will be curious how it shakes out. Regardless, excited for this fresh start and new coaching philosophy!

Didn't mean to imply you did, just a general comment based on the other thread lol

Conerway’s assist % is pretty damned remarkable given that Troy was one of the absolute worst shooting teams in CBB. They were sub 30% from 3. So he wasn’t getting easy ball reversal assists. Surround that guy with shooters and…..

This is exactly what I was saying the other night. Kind of impressive

It was such a nice song, and then you just had to go and add

four years of Woody… 

But then you did get the PTSD in there, so yeah lol
