Thankful he's okay, that article sounds like he won't miss any time.

Next game is Monday, 11/23 so there is time to heal up some.

Yep. This is the first time I have really looked forward to attending a bball game in quite some time. Hopefully he's healed up and ready to go by Monday.

Yes, I'm hopeful that he can at least develop into a legit 15 minute defensive force by the time we get into conference play. You can't teach that kind of size, and let us hope that he's a quick learner at this level. Hope to see him in person against Idaho.

Why only 15 minutes....?

Of course I'm hoping for a productive 30, but I'll take what I can get from a freshman big guy who played high school basketball against much smaller guys at the TAPPS level. I'm sure we'll know more down the road when we see him against real D-1 competition.

He is very raw, but this kid is hungry and loves playing the game. With his build and mentality he could developed quickly. Brown is the same way. Honestly brown may be just as good as Reese is. That's saying something because Reese is definitely on Chris Jones level. With all the scorers on the team though he doesn't have to shoot much.
