Banks has been put on scholarship. We now have 9 scholarship players.
DDJ Saunders MAW Mason Newman Banks Davenport Koval Lakhin We need one Houston type big man (athletic banger) and at least one guy who can play the 4. Preferably at least one or two bigs with high-end athleticism. Koval will get killed by Houston's physicality unless he puts on 15-20 lbs. I'd be okay with adding Hensley as well. |

hopefully he is purely a backup. at least he doesn't seem to foul much for a big man so perhaps he can be a serviceable backup (to whom I have no clue) on defense.

Not official yet. But per Chad's podcast it's been done for a while. Just waiting for the paperwork and HR to go through. Tomorrow seems likely since he should have started the hiring process not long after Morgan.

I’m not impressed yet. But you have to fill the depth first before you land the big fish or the small fish don’t come

I'm really happy that Koval committed. He fills an obvious need at the 5, he only has one year of eligibility left which helps balance classes, and if BPR is at all accurate he is our second best player after Newman (and by far our best offensive player). His high offensive BPR doesn't necessarily mean he's a great scorer or distributor, but it means the offense is efficient when he is in the game. He is elite in a couple categories: only a 6.5 turnover rate and an 11.8 block rate - both #1 among all players in the portal with 20+ minutes. And he has a very good 58.6 true shooting percentage, just below Davenport.

To add, his bio says: He will manage the program’s day-to-day relationships with academics, compliance, financial aid, housing, business office, scheduling, equipment, athletic department and University administration. That's the big hire? |

That's his new role. Under Archie, he helped bring in some very highly rated recruiting classes as an assistant coach.
