Looks like he'd be a good addition. Hopefully that's what Park is hinting at

Dude looked like he was dunking on an 8 foot hoop...

so looks like we have our other big. seen him listed betewwen 6-8 to 6-9 and 235-245. Hope I'm wrong but wasn't overly impressed with his athleticism. Would have liked to have added a shot blocking athletic big

You’re way off he’s athletic as shit, only because I want you to be wrong

did some digging around. He played JUCO in 22-23 season and appeared to be a bit more quick twitch and springy. Nothing earth shattering but not bad for a big body. Had knee surgery after his first season at Tulsa. Missed games at the start of last season. Maybe he still wasn't 100% back from the knee surgeries. Hoping another year plus our S&C will improve his explosiveness. He does appear to have good timing on blocks but concerning when a 6-9 245 lb player only averages 4.2 rebs for a team like Tulsa that plays in a mid level league. He did averaged 6.0 reb/game & 9.4 pts/game in 22.6 min/game in the 23-34 season

Getting a 6ft9 240 pound dude who has some solid numbers is never bad.

Rebound, play defense. That’s all we need him to do.

Plus it’s a name the Pavelka won’t have to practice for hours on how to pronounce!😂

2025, right?

2025, right?

Yes. Great addition. If I recall they were saying if he would have stayed in Italy one more year he’s a top 40 prospect in 2026.

Would be huge to establish a bit of an Italian pipeline too...some great younger players coming up through the ranks.

Awesome… hope it comes to fruition

Make a few extra trips home this summer, king.

Call me skeptical about the Italian kid:

1. He's going to be a foriegn player and only 17 when the season starts. Will he even be ready to play?
2. Assuming he's not, are we going to risk signing and then redshirting the kid?
3. I feel like its a lose-lose. We either sign an undersized kid who's going to come in and average 2.3 ppg and then seek a transfer or we sign a kid that will redshirt and potentially transfer.


I would love to be wrong.

Lotta schools are doing this. I have no idea if this kid is or will be good. But I don't see the downside in trying.
