Welcome to Amari!

Reminds me of Malik.

It's like Christmas morning!

Henry/Kelly/maybe Vandy guy is more than serviceable down low.

Potentially pair that with Ronnie, Dinkins, Billups, Hall, Cornish, Ball that’s not a bad team at all..especially in a guard oriented league and sport. Let’s keep the commitments rolling!

 

[GMU79]

Yessss! Finally!!! Yipee!

Really interesting get imo. Really exploded last year for what was a good UNCW in terms of playability. Another big who's very quick and athletic for Tony's Patriot Pressure defense. Both players today are very clear examples of that. Now if we could get some potential scorers in that'd be great.

Also probably closes door on Ginika coming back I'd expect. Seemingly getting a bit too full in that front court for him

Not at all, we need a third big man who can play significant minutes.

Vandy guy taking an official makes me think the staff is looking elsewhere vs. hoping Ginika returns; agree we need another regardless though.

I'm not good at this stuff. How would you guys rate this?

For comparison, Josh Oduro was 177th, 268th, and 284th respectively on those same stats. That said, Josh was nationally ranked in the top 500 in 8 other categories whereas those listed were the only ones for Kelly.

Interesting. He played at Duquesne for a year.

He played there for 3 years

 

[hoopsjunkie75]

He played there for 3 years

He played two years at Duq, and two years at UNCW.

 

[Patriot8]

He spent two years at Duq, and two years at UNCW.

Incorrect. He redshirted in between his freshman and sophomore seasons due to injury.

. . . Which is why you don't see a 19-20 season there.

Not trying to have any kind of argument here but people need to learn to read. Someone said that he PLAYED 1 year at Duquesne. I responded by saying that he PLAYED 2 years at each school. which he did. Yes there's a year missing. But yes he still PLAYED 2 years at each school. When you redshirt, you don't PLAY.

I corrected my original post from "spent" to "played", as was my original intent.
