Was thinking along the same lines as you with a few things:

Yup, as soon as I saw it, I was wondering - they really don't look too many other places than Iona lately, huh?

dutchPride86 wrote: ↑Tue May 20, 2025 8:17 pm I like his rebounding numbers, esp on offensive glass.

Yeah, he did have some good rebounding numbers in the games he played the most minutes, so that seems promising, but small sample.

Yeah, I was thinking the same on this but he may just be a pretty good foul shooter and not too good from the floor. Hard to say. Actually seeing what his shot looks like (haven't looked up clips yet on him) could provide more insight than the numbers alone. But those are bad floor numbers.

On this, I don't think he was hurt (although he may have been). He played in 15 of Iona's first 17 games and then none thereafter. It sounds like it was an NIL holdout, which would be really strange mid-season, especially with only limited numbers to show for his 15 games.

Here's what he did at St. Thomas Aquinas, where he was the ECC (hey, we remember that conference name!) POY, before Iona:

So I wonder if this kid decided to go on strike and not play a half of the season while on scholarship shouldn't we be major concerned with his CHARACTER?? I know he appears to be a decent get and we seem to be desperate but how far are we willing to go with this apparent insubordinate action??

Nothing in his background suggests any character issues.
