Mitch Richmond indicated on the radio post game show he's in for Fordham.  Also said he needs work in some areas, so don't expect big miracles.  Play him...he won't be around for four years.

Where's he going?

Absolutely nowhere

It depends on his work ethic.  I'll go on record and say he isn't going to be transferring to Iona.

You said he won't be around for 4 years.  Any ideas where he would be going?

Solid points from everyone. When I first heard the news on yesterday's telecast I immediately felt relieved. I was happy for Kass and was very glad to see the genuine joy his teammates had for him on the bench. This makes you feel for Marcus even more now, but his time is coming.

@Fordham isn't going to be easy, nor will NJIT or South Carolina next month, and of course Syracuse. We need him now, there really isn't a debate. Kass is not only another body, he's someone who deserves to be a freshman, take his lumps, and develop his game with the rest of this crew.

Here's how I'd have the depth chart throughout December:

PG: Moose/Felix/Elijah
SG: Ron/Malik
SF: Durand/Kass
PF: CJ/Darien/Amar
C:   Sima/Darien

Granted it was a D2 team, but they broke out yesterday offensively. They're beginning to find themselves as a unit, a team is developing and Mullin's imprint and vision is becoming a clearer. A true road game is ahead of them next week, looking forward to Kass, Malik, and Darien joining this bunch next month as they prepare for the BE schedule.

He's young...and raw....and small for a big time power forward and a great kid.....who'll develop over time.  Can't wait, but it's definitely right to temper expectations for this year and maybe even next.

Maralliac makes some good points. But this guy would be an instant starter. Guys redshirt because they can't play not because they can. I can't believe he would be interested in sitting in the bench and watching his team get killed .

First-Williams can not be reshirted; last year was his redshirt year.  This is 3rd year in "college" and this is second playing.

That being said, Yawke should play now.  He will learn more by being on the court in real games and he will better bond will his fellow Frosh which helps in the long run.  Sima and Musse have developed a positive relationship as seen during/after the games.  Yawke can be part of this group by being on the floor with them rather than being in sweats on the bench.  The future is now!  All we need is  nickname for Yawke. 

THANK YOU BILL SELF

read today's NT Times article by Joe Nocera who normally writes a column in the business section.  He exposes the hypocrits at the NCAA for what they
have done to Diallo and Yak.  They are disgusting pigs who had nothing and ended this by saying the punishment was a few game and a money fine ($240 for Yak and $160 for Diallo--those are the actual amounts-how PETTY--but no discussion for what other than for "extra benefits").  You can read the article by going to the NY Times website or some fellow poster can post it here as I am technologically challenged to do it.

God only knows what is behind Marcus' issues with these a$$holes. 

Also OSL while on a watch list has NEVER been visited--some watching,

I honestly can't believe people are even suggesting redshirting him.  We had 6 scholarship players yesterday.  If Williams' injury lingers we have one legit big man and then Alibegovic.  Yakwe could get invaluable experience playing in the BE this year with his teammates without the pressure of needing to be perfect.  The experience this year will be great, he will be happier, and the potential success and foundation will be much easier for recruits and their advisors to see with yakwe on the court and likely showing obvious improvement over the course of the year.
