Love the offensive fit, Iām excited for the team to have someone whoās going to try to do damage at the rim. What is he capable of defensively? Is he long/big enough to play the 5? Not a lot of blocks on his statistical profile, but I have no idea how ECU used him on D.

Heās agile enough to hedge and all that, but I donāt think heās been challenged to be great defensively. Could be a big adjustment. I think you want to pair him with an athlete and preferably a rim protector, whether heās a 4 or a small 5. Kadin is perfect but he canāt be out there all the time.

David Joplin is announcing his decision on Wednesday. Any chance or is he following Shaka?
Assume Marquette. I donāt really know anything for certain but the feeling I got was UVA didnāt get far. āno offerā as of late last week.

Just watched the JG highlight video pinned to his Instagram ā hereās the link:
DUDE IS A DAWG!!! Can get/make his own shot. Absorbs contact. Has fire! Iām optimistic and happy as F. New type of player for us, IMHO. But, to be fair, it was a highlight video!

Sounds like he maybe doing a little recruiting for us.
Also, any idea we he hasnāt been officially signed and announced yet? Franklin was relatively soon after his commitment

CBS ranked Gardner 7 and Franklin 37 out of 53 ranked committed transfers. Our out transfers didnāt make it.

Most often in basketball you talk about stretching the defense out with shooters to keep defenders from cheating into the lane. Feel like our shooters (Murphy??) could really benefit from a dude like Gardner keeping defenses āhonestā the other way, and having to respect an interior threat.
Hopefully no more of this āswitch everything, run everyone off the 3-point lineā stuff that nearly every team was able to throw against us later on in the year.
