He is Defensively though.

Better shooter than Freshman Latimer but he’s 6’9. Fits Geno’s

peace).

I'm not as optimistic. I cant see Ford taking this team to the
big dance. His guys looked totally lost out on the floor this
season. No leadership. No game plan out of the huddle. The boys
looked lost and confused. I feel like Ford is not a HC, but more
if an assistant coach.

is policelli (the "policeman"?) really 6'9''? i think the
roster and VC had him at 6'7''.
not that it's a terrible difference- but i'd think that's a bit
undersized for a 5. even in the AE perhaps!

Either Policelli or Gueye would be the 5 unless we bring in a
transfer. Gueye’s also listed at 6’9.

We just landed a PG from Monroe CC. 2 time POY; I'm guessing a
reuniting with Mo:

Hopefully he’s actually a true Woodhouse-type PG. if he is?
It’ll be a massive coup.

He's got pretty good hops for someone standing 6'0".

A few videos. He's #5 in all of them. I wish these got me more
excited about this signing. The first is a video from his
freshman year at Monroe – you'll see Gueye. Not a lot there. The
last two are from his senior year of high school. I only watched
the first 5-10 minutes of the full game and there were some
loooong threes and a lot of observing on defense.

He reminded me a former Seawolf; maybe you'll see the
resemblance also. But ... two-time region POY has to mean
something, right?
