Akwasi Yeboah 6'6 F Grad-Transfer to Rutgers

[ShockingButTrue]

What other teams are vying?

[1989]

^^^^^Us, TCU, Rutgers, and SMU according to Taylor Eldridge.

[BostonWu]

Had 19 last game vs USF

Sounds like lots of options for the last spot, with the emphasis on an older player, which makes sense.

According to ESPN, AY lead his team with 31.8 MPG, 16.7 PG, 7.7 RB per game., and 82 total TO's. His shooting % was .316-3pt., .785 FT, and .413 FG.

Don’t think we need a high volume below average 3pt shooter, pretty sure we just got rid of one of those. Maybe on fewer higher percentage attempts he could raise his 3pt shooting percentage.

I like the idea of a grad transfer. Our last one turned out to be a pretty decent player. Plus, it gives us two seniors for next year and helps break up another potential log jam freshman class.

Clearly, this guy can play against mid-major talent. Would be nice to get someone with just a bit more height but as we've seen, it's not always about how tall a player is. But he would certainly fill a void at the 4.

Yes he played a lot of games against so-called midmajor teams. But those videos also show him playing against Michigan State, South Carolina, UCONN, South Florida, Vermont, Providence, and a few others as well. I hope we take a look . He is a graduate transfer with skill and experience.

[ShockTalk]

Not much difference except that his 2pt % just about fell off the chart.

[im4wsu]

ShockTalk Wonder if that is a difference due to size of the opponent he's facing?

[ShockTalk]

That would be my guess. He also goes more to the 3pt shot against better teams.

[shocks02]

Headed to Rutgers.

[Dark Lord]

Headed to Rutgers.

Where nobody will be aware of his existence.
