    Get Maxime Raynaud if you want twin towers with an outside shot.

    I do not recall a player who has taken more hard fouls in the head or from behind than Condon.
    Hope he comes back PO'ed.

    I’m not overly concerned with their jump shooting. The more they are outside the arc taking jumpers, the less likely they are in the paint rebounding the ball. Golden seems to have prioritized the latter, and he has incorporated more three out in his offensive sets to accommodate that.

    Where I hope those guys make a big jump is defensively. They were pretty decent as freshmen, but freshmen usually just aren’t very good at that end. Both can really grow recognizing actions, giving help, and being more disciplined with guarding position. A little more collegiate S&C can really help, too. They will naturally improve offensively, but could be terrific two way players for us next year.

    I'll just be happy if 1. all the rotation players that can be back will be back 2. will play far better defense

    it's almost like teams knew he played Aussie Rules so treated him like a crash test dummy

    He has to. Just being on the court will change how teams attack the basket. And he’s not just some freakishly tall skinny kid. He is pushing 300 lbs.

    as long as he's agile enough...that will be the biggest concern. will be very interesting to see how he looks after S&C this summer

    Rioux will be an interesting case. I don’t know if the walk on rumor is actually true, but with Handlogten’s injury, it’s hard to imagine him not playing some. He seems very overlooked. He isn’t as stiff or unskilled as you would expect given his ranking, and there would be no reason for him to reclassify if he wasn’t ready for college.

    Again i think CTG should pursue Maxime Raynaud hard. Skilled Big could play 4 (in tall lineups) and 5 at 7'1. Would start and micah can ease back into basketball. Please

    I feel like this kid can basically choose any school he wants to go to. Will be tough to get him in Gainesville.

    I agree with the general consensus that Condon and Haugh have very high ceilings, and I also think Haugh seems to have the highest ceiling.

    Haugh's make-up speed to block shots when a player got past him was awesome to see at times. Those two could give us the ability to switch everything on defense with their foot speed. Both are decent passers as well. Hope we see them stick around and become a great tandem.

    Yes might redshirt i agree. Next Edey would be quite the jump for him. Quite unlikely but here’s to hoping

    Regardless of who they bring in and what configuration of players it is, they need to figure out how to develop a D that gives up an average of 8-10 pts less per game. That alone woulda given them 3-6 more wins and woulda carried them into the next round anyway.

    Considering that he got very little playing time at IMG, it is going to
    take him a while to get to where he can play in the SEC.

    Yeah, Rioux doesn’t even start for his high school team, right? Hard to see him getting minutes at Florida next year if that’s true.

    Love all three of these players, but we need more impact power players/defenders like TAMU has.
    I want dudes like Taylor, Radford and Obaseki.
