I was wrong about Adonis

He's gonna be seeing more minutes.

I hope he plays with as much energy as he showed waiving flags at midnight madness. If so he'll be fun to root for

Gonna need to now with the thinning front line. Thomas along with Jones knee injury will mean more minutes for sure. Forget people talking redshirt.

He will play as much as his conditioning and foul trouble allow.

If he had worked all summer to get into superb shape,like Smith at Georgetown apparently did this summer, I could see him providing some quality time. He apparently chose not too, prompting his current coach to recently reference that need. Kind of late to be "rounding" into form.

Has anyone actually seen him play an extended period?  Im not concerned if he is a bit heavy.  His size will clog the middle and enable him to move people around without the obvious foul, unlike Obekpa who needs to be on a Pizza and beer diet.  Remember Barkley, the round mound of rebound, and of course Shaq.  You can be in good shape at his size.  Love his hands and court sense.  Any comments relative to his conditioning from recent workout observations?

Coach said he was the most impressive freshman even though he didn't have a good practice. Said he's smart.

He's the only scholarship freshman, no?

How would Lavin know someone was smart?

He needs to start taking cardio and diet seriously.
Amazing that our season could come down to this guy's diet.

Travion Leonard ate Obekpa's lunch last year. Of course he ate everyone's lunch, so there's that.
