His hands are amazing, both in terms of quickness and gathering

Also gives a good piggy back ride...

14 of 14 from the floor in Big 12 play. Absurd.

Ernest Udoka Jr.

He hangs in midair on the catch and jam. So he gets an asterisk from me. Just not sure he could take me to the rim.

lol

also can't not like Big Ern

but the 90s kid in me is still holding out for Slam Dunk Ernest

I'm obsessed with his quick hands. I've never seen anything like that from a player with that kind of length.

Quick feet too...for a guy that tall.

He also can move deceptively well.
And can already dribble as good as Udoka ever could.

It’s now just more work on timing.
He’s a foul machine like other frosh bigs we have had.

In all seriousness, his ability to hang in flight is awesome. Don't recall another big with that quality.

Dude can play some D. And get boards.

I like him.

3 steals. As many as the rest of the team combined.

Under/over B12 defensive teams in his career set at 1.5.

under. he's gonna breakout as a soph and win MOP on our way to a 3-peat to play himself into the lottery. c'mon man.

As long as we are dreaming I’ll take he gets over, with two, a season after finishing 2nd in voting to B12POY Gradey Dick.

He's got all the tools, I just think he needs to work on a couple of things (and I'm sure he will). A little more strength in the lower body - backing guys down on offense and keeping them form backing him down on defense. Learning how to use his big body better and developing some back to the basket moves.

If he could learn the fundamentals of McCormack and Lucas he has a much higher ceiling because of his length and athleticism and quickness. I also think he's very intelligent and a quick learner so I have no doubt he will get there.
