Averaged 7.3 ppg and 3.6 rpg, but really caught fire the last 6 games of the season at Morgan State averaging 16.2 ppg. Was tasked to play the 5 defensively there, but I’d expect him to play in the stretch 4/big wing role at UD. Potential is definitely there.

Two scholarship spots remaining as Piper also entered the portal.

With Coach Phillips gone (to where?) who is going to work with the big guys? Phillips was I believed well regarded for his work developing UD's bigger players.

I'm trying to be excited but this just doesnt do anything for me

Was hoping with the addition of the basketball GM there would be some creativity with getting better but it's a lot of castoffs and retreads IMO

Feel the same for the women too. we're gonna be dishing out big time money for people that are averaging single digit points and selling it as "we're gonna be better than last year"

Really hope it works out but there better be some accountability if it doesnt
