This kid can play. He would be a great fit in our program.

Indiana forward Malik Reneau will enter the transfer portal, according to Joe Tipton.

An All-Big Ten honorable mention selection last season, the 6-foot-9 Reneau averaged 13.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and two assists in 23.2 minutes per game.

He’s a good post scorer but that’s it, he doesn’t fit how we play at all. Can’t pass, can’t defend, can’t shoot from outside. Not a great rebounder either for his size. He’s a tweeter who doesn’t have the skill set to do what he needs to do this day and age.

I can't really say.
All these guys are a crapshoot in some regards.
Downside is everything you mentioned.
Upside is he is a good post scorer and we're a team that currently doesn't have one.
I'm under the assumption that we're going to take two at his position.

I’ve watched him play almost every college game. I know his game very well. He would infuriate BBN with how bad he plays defense a lot of the time, and he’s a black hole on offense. As soon as gets the ball on the block it’s not going anywhere else but up for a shot. That’s why he averages 14 a game in 22 minutes. If you play a style where you force it into the post and need a scorer, he’s your guy.

19/12 vs Mch St in a win
22/6 vs Washington (Osobor)
He'll have a lot of high major offers.

Bro, Why are you watching so much IU ball? You don’t love your life? 😂

Sleepers guys said he is from Florida and they think Miami is the likely spot for him.
It doesn't matter. Any player who averaged more than 10 ppg that enters the portal is going to have a thread created about them and talk about how they are a good fit for UK. The same will go for anybody who shot 38%+ from 3 on <1 attempt per game and anybody who was a former 4-star.

Jai needs to start throwing around some of that NIL $
I forgot Jai is the coach now. It will be interesting to see how they play. Dude got a power 5 gig with no head coaching experience. I could see Kenny P like results.

We don’t need marginal or kinda elite. We need elite players to compete at the championship level. Pope and co. Should be looking for players clearly above this level. We can’t lower requirements for players because Pope is the coach. High level.
