4 years to play 3, right (covid year)?

That's a big boy.   Let's hope he can contribute more than Wright did in McCasland's system.

If he can even produce behind Abou like he did at Dayton, that would be great (of course, we'd love to see him do more):

A-10 is good basketball too, so we know he's coming in prepared to play at this level.    Welcome aboard Moulaye.

Wonder what this means for Chrishawn Morgan?

Could he be at the 4 while Sissoko rotates at the 5?

Seems like his role would be somewhere between Bell and Abou, leaning more towards Abou.

Love his size, I hope him and Ab can be on the floor at the same time. We could finally go big inside. I think Ab could play a little 4 spot.

We are evolving, finally.

This one is a head scratcher, to me at least, but I’ll wait to see how he pans out come the season. McCasland and Co, I’m thinking this is a Moikubu pickup, have found some great gems in the past.

3 to play 3 I think. You normally have 5 to play 4 which would mean that he would normally have two years to play to two left. Then add the Covid year.

Oh yes.  Good call.   He did take a Redshirt year already.   

Watching some of his highlights he moves quick for such a big fella.   Excited to see how the staff uses him.

He got buried behind Dayton's highest-rated recruit ever, DaRon Holmes (a 4* Top50 recruit & AZ Gatorade POY in '19-'20), so it makes sense for him to transfer if he wants to see more playing time.  I just hope he comes in ready to work, because I don't think Abou wants to see his minutes diminish.
