On a serious note (for me), this is the perfect class to add a commit like this to.

I'm starting to think the guy running the show knows what he's doing.

Remember when Hoiberg didn't have a true rim protector in his first 4 years? Well now he has two!

I am really excited to see what he can do with next year's team. So many combinations of line-ups!

So does this mean he isn't facing any eligibility issues for next season then? IDK if he would have had any anyways, but it seems like there is always something with these guys.

I can already see his first basket against Iowa. He swishes a 3 if Woodbury doesn't come out to cover him ... or goes right around him if he does for a real dunk! Umpah!

Lol...you mean opa? Or is he the tallest Umpa Lumpa ever!

The expensive courses that you play at don't sell Busch Light. So they are gonna know you snuck in a 12 pack in your golf bag when the beer cart pulls up to you and you are holding a "blue smoothie."

I like this kid's video, but put me in the boat of this guy truly being a big roll of the dice. He could develop into a stud, which would be the equivalent of CFH pulling a rabbit out of a hat, or he could be a complete bust. Truthfully, I wouldn't be surprised either way. With that said, like other posters have already mentioned, if there is a year to take a flyer on a guy like this, this is the year to do it, so I'm all in for it. Shoot, if he didn't sign, it is likely his scholarship would just go unused anyway and if he doesn't pan out, I'd say there is a decent chance he doesn't stick around all 4 years using up that scholarship either.

There's no roll of the dice here. This was our 13th scholarship. It was earmarked for another post transfer that would have to sit anyway. Either that or we bank it. So any production from this kid is gravy.

If he's the real deal, then obviously huge upside. If he sucks or can't adjust to the US, he's back in Europe this time next year.

I see no downside risk.
