Potential end of bench guy. This account has been correct a lot in the past, so there might be some truth to this
You ever see this guy play? Wonder how good he actually is. Jerad Cater or Shagari Safari level or does he have potential?
averaged about 7 and 4 in 17 minutes per game for Miami of OH this past season...saw them play a couple of times but don't recall him honestly
I saw him play once in high school. He played good in the game, but I don’t know enough at all to know how good he is currently
He played d1 basketball two years
So basically he quitted his scholarship to be here as walk on?

I’m ok with it, but it seems like a bit of an odd addition positionally.
If we’re gonna add another player, it sure seems like a point guard would make the most sense. We’re already over-stacked at the center spot.

I know right? I thought he was a high school piece but as a D1 piece sure you take him. He could easily help defend in practice at worst.
he is a walk-on does it really matter what position he plays
I think he will be scholarship player if he comes here
We can have 15 scholarship players with new rule?
He should be able to give challenge in every practice
Doesn’t mean we don’t still grab a PG. Pope knows what he’s doing lol
I believe it is 15 yes. I know at that point they have to do something with revenue share or something. 12 is standard, but it goes to 15. I can’t remember what changes when they go above 12.
If we get Potter, do not think pope will be done
A guard practice player/development piece/mid major senior could still be added
Remember we only have 12 players (assuming Oweh and Lowe return to college)

Potter could actually help an EKU or Morehead but if he wants to warm the bench here I’m happy for him.
Probably he does not have a pro dream
And being a ex-UK player will definitely help him the life after basketball career, especially if he still wants to live in state
He can shoot the 3. He's sort of...a pre-Ivisic? Come on down, big man!
17 minutes a game is decent playing time. He could be a long term piece to develop, or maybe even a redshirt candidate.
Practice piece...
Moreno looks way better than him already
But if we have major injuries in frontcourt next season, Potter could be playable to have 5-10 mins...
He has enough experience to help out in a pinch. As a 13th, 14th, 15th man on the team we could probably do a lot worse than Potter. Lets hope it happens. Also, probably fulfills a lifelong dream. A guy we can all root for.
I am sure a ton of schools could use a 7-2 guy that can shoot the three. It would be good if he RS to work on body some and get acclimated and have two years left to play. Still hope we get another fast 1 for depth.
I think it makes perfect sense. He’s a 7’2 guy who’s largely under the radar and can add a lot of depth especially since we don’t know about JQ. He’s willing to be at the end of the bench and did fairly well in 17 minutes per game. I don’t care what our needs are you don’t turn that down. We can still add a guard.
Had 8 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists in 18 minutes against IU. 2-4 from 3
Yes, he is not good enough to be top 10 man in a top 10 team, but he is way better than most walkon/practice players/development pieces
Good addition as our 13th guy.
Let that sink in. Our 13th man is 7’2 and has D1 experience.
Some of y’all are like the old saying goes, “looking a gift horse in the mouth.”
If some of you young folks don’t know what I mean, Google it.

Miami of Ohio's roster say 7-1 215 pounds and is from Lexington, KY.
Where did he play HS ball?

Almost 40% from 3 for his career on over 90 shot attempts. Not too bad for the 13th option.
Whether he is on Scholarship or not the point stands. Position doesn't matter.
