Harsh but true. A big guy that doesn't pass out, can't use his right hand, limited post moves and a below average rebounder. I expected more out of him than what he displayed this season. Hopefully he puts in the work and proves us wrong.

Absolutely.....he has all the frame and ability to be pretty tough..and i hope he works hard and is dominant. But its pretty clear he has no right hand...makes it pretty easy to defend in the post.
He was pretty comparable to Gipson from KSU when they were both freshmen (Gipson probably had a little less baby fat). Percy hasn't seemed to advance like Gipson has.
Very comparable...I mean, only one letter separates them:
Gibson
Gipson
Might as well be the same player ;-)
Ya, if anything, I know Fred says he wants Ejim at the 3 and Niang at the 4, but I could see:
1 Monte/bubu
2 Matty/SDW
3 SDW/Hogue
4 Ejim
5 Niang
Hard to keep Matty and SDW's shooting out of the line up when Fred loves his shooters. This would put 5 guys that could shoot over 30% from 3 at all 5 positions.
I wouldn't be against it. There is just so many new faces so it's impossible to say who has the edge and where. Fred wants Ejim at the 3 and Niang at the 4 but that is totally on the shoulders of Armadi, Edozie & Percy. One of those 3 HAVE to step up and be a solid contributor either offensively or defensively to justify it. With Hogue being a solid defensive player, I think it will be important to have him on the floor alot as well so I am betting Ejim plays the 3 and 4 equally. With that, I bet Niang plays the 4 and 5 equally limiting the true 5's minutes.
And none of that is even factoring the numerous quality guards all fighting for minutes. I am getting more and more optimistic about next season each week.
That sounds about right, IMO. I don't see us using more than 2 of the following 3 players.... Percy, Amardi, Edozie. Like you said, Niang will definitely get 10+ min at the 5 when we go with smaller lineups. Edozie seems like the odd man out, but you never know.
Don't think that this has been mentioned......Monte named Parade All-American. A little surprised Thomas did not make it too......

I think you're totally right. It didn't work well this year because Niang, Ejim, and Clyburn were a couple steps above Booker and Gibson, but it is nice to have a big in there to start the game to defend the other teams starting big, and hopefully defray some foul trouble for Niang.
Ejim developing enough to play the 3 would be huge. I don't think he's going to thrive there next year, though.
What is the selection criteria? How the hell did Jok end up on that list when he is considered a fringe top 150 recruit at best?
Woah hold on there! I don't know which recruiting websites you loom at but Jok is a top 10 player in the country this year
