Pretty certain like a 7'5" wingspan and led the nation in dunks last year. Think Ja'Vier Francis from Houston type impact with probably more pure athleticism.

William Kyle has a 7'3" wingspan and a 40+ inch vertical.

WK3 finished 2nd in the nation in dunks with 88. Zach Edey is leading the country with 108. For reference, our team had a total of 94 dunks on the year. Ward led the way with 34.

those are some striking dunk stats. It felt like Ward was doing nothing but dunking especially in the last 1/2 of the year. So Kyle had way more than double the dunks Ward had. Wow.

Feel like Hadley, Kyle, Jackson are very similar if not an upgrade over King, Ward, Jones. More so offensively than defensively.

Interested to hear what others think.

He is the type of talent you dont have to run one offensive set through the entire game and he still has an enormous impact on the game.

I know everyone doesn't agree with this, nor should they but gives us something we don't have. A true rim protector.
His career block rate is 6.5% vs 5% roughly for both Jackson and Chatfield, and both of those two have had seasons around Kyle's level. He's a much better jumper for sure and I do like that element of his game, but he hasn't blown them out of the water, there.

I do like Kyle a lot though, and would be thrilled if he ends up a Cyclone. But Kyle is not Hason Ward as a shot-blocker, who was up around 10%.

given that Ward was out for 6 weeks, a lot of it against teams where dunking would have been easier, those are good numbers
